On bright and beautiful morning of 24 th June, 2023, the entire family of SFS
Public School ICSE and ISC wistfully prepared themselves to bid a sentimental
farewell, SAYONARA ‘Unfading Memories’ to its beloved former Principal,
Rev. Fr. A. Jabamalai.
Escorted by the school band, NCC cadets and a squad of adoring flower girls
the former Principal Rev. Fr. A Jabamalai was extended a regal welcome. The
choir created the perfect ambience by invoking the presence of God with their
soothing and refreshing voices. Rev. Fr. Joshy, the Manager and Rev. Fr. Binu,
the Superior in their respective addresses highlighted the myriad contributions
Rev. Fr Jabamalai made to the school during his stay and his role in moulding
and shaping the lives of students. It was followed by an ethereal and hypnotic
dance performed by a proficient troupe of dancers. The current Principal Rev.
Fr. Binoy offered his appreciation to Rev. Fr. A. Jabamalai for the incredible
positive development he helped the school undergo. The staff representative
Ms. Meenatchi thanked the former principal for his role in helping the teachers
build rapport and for offering commendable support under all circumstances.
The dancers entertained the crowd with an electric dance performance that left
everyone energised and invigorated. Dia Pant, Senior Head Girl offered her
profound gratitude for the former principal’s patience, dedication and
everlasting encouragement in both academic and co-curricular activities. The
teachers then bid an emotional and grateful goodbye to the former principal
with a song of gratitude. The address by Rev. Fr. A Jabamalai saw him battling
through a rollercoaster of powerful emotions and yet managed to inspire and
motivate both the teachers and students. The former principal later joined the
reminiscent crowd acknowledging them by offering warm smiles, encouraging
words and comforting handshakes. It was truly a sight to behold the outpouring
of love, praise and gratitude for Rev. Fr. Jabamalai but even so mere words
could not suffice to encapsulate the achievements and enhancement the school
accomplished under his tremendous tenure.
