Reverend Sister Ethel Pasqual

(1996 - 2003)


             Reverend Sister Ethel Pasqual took over the school in 1996 as it's 6th Principal, being a very dynamic person her one aim was to bring Holy Family Convent, Dehiwela in line with any other private school. She did not look back. Her firm mind guided her to go forward in all that she thought was good. She wanted to give the Student's, an education that destroys all prejudices and to live selfless lives working for the common good.

 

 Many were the changes that took place during her period. The school was denied of a spacious hall for it's functions. After much thought and planning she set her mind in providing the school with an Auditorium. From the first moment it was "Go" and having completed the new set of class rooms in 1998, the foundation stone was blessed and laid by Reverend Father Ernest Poruthota, the present parish priest of St. Mary's Church, Dehiwela. Completing this was no easy task. With generous donations from the Past Pupil's Association, the Tutorial Staff, the School Development Society, Government Authorities, Parent's, Student's and Well Wishers. She made this Auditorium a reality.

 

Apart from this she formed the Junior Band and reviewed the Girl Guide Association. The little Students of the primary school were provided with a play ground.

 

In addition to her administrative duties. She spent her time making this environment clean  and beautiful. The Students were motivated to have a clearn environment.

 

Her courage is greatly appreciated. We thank Reverend Sister Ethel Pasqual for all the good work done for the school. She said goodbye to the school in the year 2003 as she was leaving for missionary work abroad. may God Bless her and Protect her.
