The Vice-Principal Mr. Brian Mckertish spoke a few words. He said that CLC was founded in 1563 and is present in 60 countries. He said that CLC draws its inspiration from the life and work of St Ignatius of Loyola. The CLC follows a Gospel life style. We also show our love and dedication to the Virgin Mary.
