Another creative and successful year has been completed with the high quality education provided by Terra Santa College. Another year of high expectations for the next steps of its graduates who have prepared themselves for their higher and higher education by acquiring valuable knowledge and developing attitudes, values and skills that will make them good and useful citizens.
On behalf of the President of the Republic, Mr. Nicos Anastasiades, I warmly congratulate all the children. I extend special thanks to the teachers for their love and dedication to the sacred ministry they perform. The efforts of the management and teaching staff of the Foundation to prepare and create responsible citizens within the framework of its basic principles of virtue, diligence and creativity are greatly appreciated.
Terra Santa College has a long history and tradition of being the cradle of the spirit and culture of a select section of Cypriot society.
In its 376 years of operation, Terra Santa College has indeed prepared hundreds of graduates for universities who have subsequently enriched our society, taking up positions and serving functions that have contributed significantly to the progress and prosperity of our people.
I particularly note the multicultural nature of the College, since in addition to the large number of Greek Cypriot students, students from the Maronite, Latin and Armenian religious groups also attend the College. The successful cooperation and coexistence between the children, regardless of their origin and religious beliefs, is a very important contribution of the College, which we also highly appreciate, bearing in mind the wider multicultural character of our society.
I would like to assure you once again that supporting and supporting the needs of schools, in which the education provided is a decisive factor for the cohesion and preservation of each religious group, is always an important priority for the Government of the Republic of Armenia. And such conditions can be created by achieving a solution to the Cyprus problem which will reunite our country, end the occupation and ensure the implementation of the human rights and fundamental freedoms of the Cypriots, without guarantor and interventionist rights and without occupying armies.
Dear seniors,
Joining in your great joy of receiving your high school diploma, we wish you all the best for the future. Stay committed to the principles and values given to you by this excellent school you were fortunate to attend and fight the fight ahead of you with the same virtue, diligence and creativity instilled in you by your teachers. And I am confident that you will succeed. Choose your dreams, your goals, your values and the ways to fulfill them.
You, as young active citizens of this country, can contribute with a fighting spirit and optimism to the shaping of a better country. Because you are the future of our country and you must remain stakeholders and beneficiaries in society, contributing with your knowledge, talent, experience and skills to the shaping of the tomorrow we all envision, the tomorrow you deserve.
With the support of the management and teachers, as well as your parents, you have acquired the best guarantees to enter the next cycle of your life, that of attending higher and higher education, which I am sure you will successfully complete, also to ensure that you have all the necessary skills for the rest of your life.
Addressing your parents, who have stood and continue to stand by you every day and share your anxieties and hopes, I would like to express my sincere congratulations on your progress, which is based on your constant support, assistance, guidance and encouragement.
Dear parents, I wish your children good careers and every success in their efforts for a bright and creative future.
I also extend warm wishes to the children who are continuing their studies in the next grades of the school. May their efforts be fruitful and above all may their efforts bear fruit in progress and development.
I would be remiss if I did not conclude by extending my warm congratulations to the President and members of the Parents and Guardians Association of the High School for their willing, selfless and continuous contribution to the work of the College.
Finally, I would like to congratulate and thank the President and General Director Father Zacheusz Dulniok of Terra Santa College, the members of the Board of Trustees, the Director of the Secondary School Mr. Mrs. Evagoras Aristotelous, the Director of the Elementary School Mrs. Erasmus Roussia, the Director of the Kindergarten Mrs. Antigoni Konstantinou and all the teachers and staff of the school, for their love and dedication to their mission and duty.
I wish all the children a good career and every success in their efforts for a bright and creative future.
