PROGRAMME

SERVICE RECOGNITION AWARDS

Towards the end of the schoolyear, for the past twenty-five

years Xavier School has expressed its appreciation and formal

recognition of loyalty and length of service rendered by school

personnel through the Service Recognition and Awards

Ceremonies. Before these ceremonies were established, however,

Xavier would present Loyalty Awards to those who had given

dedicated service to the school during the Grade School or High

School Closing Ceremonies. In 1986, separate rites were held, and

from then on, it has been an annual affair that marks the end of

another schoolyear.

Service plaques are awarded after completion of ten, fifteen,

twenty, twenty-five, and thirty years of service.

Keep the light in your hearts always.

Luceat, luceat lux!

'till the journey's end.

Luceat, luceat lux!
