The 11th edition of the World Day of Catholic Schools went down memory lane in Fiango, Kumba on Friday, November 19, 2010 with a memorable closing ceremony that began with a high mass solemnised by the Bishop of Buea, His lordsip Immanuel Balanjo Bushu, assisted by a colleague of priests.
Bishop Rogan Junior seminary joined 13 other colleges to pass across the message of care, solidarity and love reigning in our colleges. The three day event was characterised by socio-cultural and sporting activities at the St. Francis College in Fiango that was created in 1949.
Bishop Rogan College won Basketball and Volleyball beating two perennial rivals, St. Josephs College Sasse and St. Paul's College Bonjongo respectively.
"We could have won singing and drama but things fell apart" said the head of the Bishop Rogan delegation, Mr Limnyuy Ndzelen.
St. Joseph's College Sasse won traditional dance and drama, while the Regina College Mutengene came first in singing and football.
The event took place within the context of growth and progress made in our catholic colleges within the past 70 years. And as the Catholic Education Secretary, Fr. George Nkeze said, it offerd a great opportunity for all and sundry to reflect on how far catholic education has gone and how far it still needs to go.
