This accident _ forever altered the history of both Park ce aie the the City of Joy. While fire is a destroyer, it is a_ So purifier too, one that eliminates the ‘old’ and Seer way for something new. The fire that burnt down thi Sans Souci Theatre kindled another: "The Fire of Education.” 2a Eventually, the burnt-out theatre found life as the site of an institution that would redefine modern education. On the 16th of January, 1860, a small group of Belgian Jesuits, led by Father Henri Depelchin, united at 10, Park Street (now 30, Mother Teresa Sarani), to create what is now known as a symbol of excellence in education throughout the country: St. Xavier's Collegiate School. 163 years since its inception, St. Xavier's Collegiate School remains an enduring source of inspiration for all. As an internationally recognized and esteemed institution, it continues to reach new heights of _ excellence. To become men for others and to keep the fire of passion burning has been a major part of _Xaverian culture and it is one that See generations look to uphold. fi Nihil Ultra, Nothing Beyond!Aa ¥ Penh é a ABOUT X-UBERANCE > 4 > * St. Xavier's Collegiate School takes in nse pride in presenting the 17th edition of i - cultural festival, X-Uberance ‘23.
