Director of SJEC, Rev. Fr Wilfred Prakash D’Souza, welcomed the graduands from the Class of 2018, dignitaries and parents to the Graduation Ceremony.

Glen D’Souza, in his address, urged the graduands to be leaders by being ‘Doers’ and ‘Achievers’ rather than being ‘Followers’. He said that the path ahead of the graduands will be exciting but also testing.

He shared five qualities of successful leaders, which included building strong relationships, following 7:1 rule which corresponds to 7 positives:1 constructive feedback, being clear about expectations, focusing on skills and being role models.

Dr. Christopher congratulated the graduands for achieving this critical milestone of graduation with sheer hard work and effort. He said that knowledge is like a ‘Gold coin’. He called upon everyone to invest in it and reap maximum benefits instead of hoping for temporary happiness.

Dr. Christopher advised all graduands to feel proud of their origin, roots and value systems. He also invited the gathering to be prepared for the testing times without losing focus.

The principal of SJEC, Dr. Rio D’Souza, administered the graduation oath. Graduand from the Mechanical Engineering Department, Reyon Joseph Lobo, and graduand from the Department of Computer Applications Prithvi V Shet, were the Valedictorians from the Class of 2018 and delivered the Valedictorian addresses.

Scholastic achievers and sports achievers were recognized and awarded by Most Rev. Dr. Peter Paul Saldanha.

Delivering the Presidential Address, the Bishop congratulated the graduates and asked them to develop an attitude of kindness and tenderness along with hard work and dedication. He also said that the institution has given a personality to the graduands which will help them succeed going forward. He also called upon the graduates to listen to their heart and carry forward the love in their hearts by always being connected.
