History |
|
The
golden history of St Sebastian's High School begins from
the year 1919. Before the year 1919, there was a school
named Pope Leo XIII A V School(Anglo-Vernacular school),
which was unofficially functioning near the chapel of Our
Lady of Miracle, Thoppumpady, about two furlong away from
the present St Sebastian's school. Due to some
inconveniences, teachers and well-wishers asked the
permission of the Parish Priest of St Sebastian's to shift
the school. Rev Fr Francis D'Cruz allowed to restart the
school in the corridor of St Sebastian's church with the
new name St Sebastian's school, Palluruthy. Mr K.J. Joseph
was the first headmaster of the school. The school is
situated on the banks of Vembanad lake sandwiched between
the old Mattanchery bridge and the new B.O.T bridge.
For
the smooth functioning of the school, Rev Fr Raphael
Edakkat took the initiative to construct a school
building. In 1922 the school was recognized by the
Education Department. This is the reason why the Jubilee
is counted from 30th May 1922 onwards. Mr K P Antho was
appointed as first headmaster of the newly recognized
school.
In the year 1923, almost all the works
of the new school building were finished. The inauguration
of the new school building was done on 20th October 1924,
the birthday of Rev Fr Raphael Edakkat. In 1927 began the
form IV (equal to VIII std of this era). In the year 1929
St Sebastian's school was upgraded to high school.
The
school started to function well in all the levels, the
strength of the students increased, and there was the
great need to accommodate the students. Rt Rev John Martin
Rebeiro, the Bishop of Cochin of the time, helped
financially to buy the property near the church and John
Edakattu Memorial hall was constructed for the school.
In the course of time, an Old Students'
Association was formed and at the right side of the church
a two storied building was constructed by them under the
leadership of Kochunni Master, the president of the Old
Students' Association of that time. In 1961 K K
Vishwanadhan M L A, the former student of the school laid
the foundation stone and the new building was inaugurated
by the Home Minister P T Chacko, in the year 1962.
In
2000 the school was upgraded to Higher Secondary School.
Now St Sebastian's school is a big tree with branches.
Primary section, High school section and the Higher
Secondary section functioning under three heads. Marching
ahead on the road to success, St Sebastian's High school
promises a bright future to society. |
