Best House - Shamrock House
The academic year 2025–26 was truly a memorable one for Shamrock House as we proudly won the House Cup for the second time. This remarkable achievement was the result of consistent effort and active participation in academics, sports and co-curricular activities. Every Shamrocker contributed with dedication and enthusiasm, proving that success comes through teamwork and perseverance. Even during challenging moments, the house stood united, determined and committed to giving its very best. A major force behind this success was the constant guidance of our House Teacher, Ms. Noretha Chettiar, whose encouragement and unwavering support motivated us throughout the year. Her leadership brought out the best in every student and kept the house focused on excellence. Alongside her, our Vice Captain, Mst. Aaron Gomes, played a vital role by leading with responsibility, discipline and commitment, setting a strong example for all of us. Winning the House Cup for the second time is more than just a victory, it reflects the true spirit, strength and unity of Shamrock House. This achievement has taught us the lasting value of hard work, cooperation and determination. The triumph of Shamrock House in the academic year 2025–26 will always remain a proud milestone and a source of inspiration for the years ahead. As the House Captain, I, Ms. Angel D’souza, thank all my Shamrockers from the bottom of my heart for making me proud of our achievements. I wish them the very best for the years to come, and may Shamrockers continue to Rock!

Best House - crimson House
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller
This year, our house didn’t just compete, we came together, stood strong, and conquered. Bound by teamwork, determination, and an unshakable spirit, we gave our all in every event, every challenge, and every competition. And the results spoke for themselves. We proudly lifted the Best House Trophy and the Sports Cup, a double victory that reflected our unity and resilience. Under the steadfast guidance of our House tr, Ms. Vencilla Dsouza, we found strength in our struggles and joy in our victories. House Captain-Marcio led with passion, and Head Boy-Aaron Dsouza set an example of excellence, inspiring every member to push beyond limits. But beyond the trophies and accolades, our greatest achievement is the spirit we nurtured, the friendships we forged, and the memories we created. This victory is not just ours; it belongs to every voice that cheered, every hand that helped, and every heart that believed. Here’s to teamwork, perseverance, and the unstoppable force of unity!
