Strive to be faithful to that which God has called you.

Angela Merici

As servant leaders we worked hard to uphold the key attributes of a servant leader which

are empathy, stewardship and commitment to growing and developing pupils, nurturing all

pupils and building a community within the school. Overall, with these attributes we em-

braced, encouraged, inspired and supported students to understand and undertake their role

in building our school spirit and pride. The role of each girl was equally valued and re-

spected in this process which we believe was key to our success in achieving our goal

which will be carried forward with our school in the years to come.

As leaders we have gained crucial skills along the way, these being: strong and effective

communication and negotiation skills, the characteristics of responsibility, accountability

and confidence and what we believe to be the most valuable; resilience. Our resilience has

helped us to think outside the box, in more innovative, inclusive and creative ways, to per-

severe and to never give up. This skill will serve us and all others who have developed it as

we encounter bumps along the road on our life journey. It is the way in which we manage

these bumps that will ultimately determine our destiny.

Serviam, is an integral part of every Brescia girl’s school life. It is a core value which we

uphold with the highest esteem. Not only has service to our community taught us to have

empathy for the needs of others but it has helped build a sense of community and has

helped better connect us to the world around us.

Humility is one of the values that we have aspired to live by throughout our leadership journey. To the future leaders of South Africa, as Sonya Tecial said, remember to have enough confidence to hold your head high. Enough humility not to look down on others.

Melissa Papiyana, Tyler Marshall and Rosa Pisanti

Mission

Brescia House School is an independent, Catholic, day school

for girls from Grade R to Grade 12. While it prepares Catholic

learners for growth within the Catholic faith, it accepts and

welcomes learners from all other faith groups and encourages

their spiritual growth. All learning programmes are in service

of this growth towards the Creator.

Vision Statement

Brescia House School believes in:

• creating a Christian atmosphere, in which principles of

truth, love, justice and reverence become the criteria in

life’s decisions.

• working to achieve academic excellence and the develop-

ment of the whole woman in all facets of her potential.

• high standards of behaviour and discipline and in the

importance of the individual and in her creative self-

expression.

• the dignity of all persons and in respecting the rights of

others.

• an open environment where all persons of our richly

diverse society may grow in mutual understanding and

acceptance.

Sing we a song of service,

Honour and truth and praise,

Ours is a royal watchword,

Ours will be loyal ways,

Bright as the badge we carry,

Gemmed with the guiding stars

And ‘neath the cross’s banner,

The claim to service ours.

Eyes on the stars that beckon,

Travelling the roads that climb,

We’ll only stoop to offer

A helping hand in time,

So those who on life’s journey

The path with us have trod,

Can say we kept our watchword,

Our Serviam for God.
