Achievements
2021-2022
Going the extra mile at SPC
2021-2022 has certainly been an interesting year for us all; despite all of the government-imposed restrictions and mandates, our boys at SPC continued to participate in various English Department events and competitions that still remained open and pushed hard to meet respective competition organizers’ submission and performance requirements, all the while keeping their health in check at school and in the community.
As the school year draws to a close, we came together as a community to take the time to personally acknowledge our students for their hard work, dedication and perseverance. Despite the trying circumstances, they still victoriously came home with various certificates and awards for:

2020-2021
A Blessing in Disguise: Wins for the English Department
2020-2021 was certainly a different kind of school year as many extracurricular activities had to be suspended or cancelled. At an all-boys’ school, this was disappointing, given how active our boys are and can be — something that many a teacher and parent knows far too well. What to do with all that energy and nowhere to expend it?
Well, at SPC, our boys certainly did not simply kick back and chill out for the year.
Revealing willpower and tenacity, our boys participated in the various English Department events and competitions that still remained open, and pushed hard to meet each competition's submission and performance requirements, all the while keeping their health in check at school and in the community.
As the school year drew to a close, we came together as a community to take the time to personally acknowledge our students for their hard work, dedication and perseverance. Despite the trying circumstances, they still came home with certificates and awards for:
