“The student council has had the pageant on their agenda for the school year. The main reason is to raise funds for the development of our school. And also, the girls will be getting an opportunity to show their talents and skills to the school and the general public.”

“We don’t have a target for this particular fundraiser, but we just put in A.C. in our E.P.D. and M Lab which is basically our computer lab and whatever other needs we see around the school we plan to invest the funds therein.”

“On Friday night we’ll be having an introduction, a question and answer session, cultural session and sportswear and the girls will be showing their talent of course”

The contest gets underway at the Holy Redeemer Parish Hall at seven on Friday night. Tickets can be bought from any S.C.A. student or at the school at five dollars for adults and three dollars for children.
