In the same spirit, yesterday we honoured our roots —
And with solemn pride, we remembered the departed:
staff, students, alumni, and all who once walked these grounds,
contributed in silence or in service, and became part of our legacy.
Though they are no longer here to witness how far we’ve come,
their footprints remain etched in our journey.
With one voice and one heart, we declared:
May their memories live on within us,
and may their sacrifices never fade into silence.
