It took two years and eight months to complete the ultra modern and spacious auditorium, principal L George informed.

A colourful cultural prog ramme was organised by students to give the auditorium a befitting inaugurati­on. Fr Gerald John Mathias also blessed the new building by sprinkling holy water.

The school management thanked parents and others for their benevolent contributi­on towards the 140-year-old institutio­n.
