St. Teresa's National Secondary School
St. Teresa was born in Avila, Spain in 1515 and died in 1582. She came from a noble family with high moral values. However, she gave up all her material possessions and became a Carmelite nun in 1536. Because of her great wisdom, intelligence, humility, diligence and integrity she was declared a Doctor of the Church in September 1880. Since its foundation in 1885, the school has been entrusted under her patronage and protection; and therefore it is expected that the students of St. Teresa’s School emulate and uphold her outstanding qualities and virtues.
