By my assessment this is the best convocation in the history of this school. The first category of grandaunts is the Certified Pastoral Manager, a specialised professional programme in collaboration with Hapche in the United States.

Its focus is to raise professional Christians and 20 of them have graduated today. 11 Bachelor degree students from various disciplines and specializations and 17 Post-graduate students have also graduated.”
