Our Ethos

EDUCATION HAS A STANDARD

Education has a standard, to meet up with the standard is always very painful to the flesh, but very fruitful and beneficial in future.

Therefore, only the best is good enough, give the world your best and the best will come back to you.

Shun the enemy called Mediocrity because it is better to wear out than to rust out.


BOOKS ARE GREAT FRIENDS

Books are great friends, they have something to offer you each time you pick them up, and what is more, they never complain of being tired.

I SHALL NOT PASS THIS WAY AGAIN

I shall not pass this way again; I expect to pass this way but once. Therefore, any good thing that I can do, any kindness that I can show to my fellow human beings, let me do it now. Let ne not defer nor neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.


A REGINA PACIS STUDENT

A Regina Pacis student is ordinarily special; she makes the difference anytime, any day, anywhere.


MY READING EFFORT

My reading effort today is my confidence and pride tomorrow

WHY?

I will ever be confident to defend on my capabilities anywhere in the world tomorrow.


TIME WASTED

Time wasted is never lived but lost. It is like an opportunity, once gained, it is never regained.


REGINA PACIS

Regina Pacis, Mediocrity is our enemy

Regina Pacis, Excellence is our pride.


THE FUTURE

The future belongs to those, who prepare it today.

GOD IS OUR STRENGTH!

School Anthem

We’re the girls of Regina Pacis Secondary School,
Onitsha. Striving for our total personality.
Human spirit, body, mind and feeling; here do Receive education..

Chorus

Holy Spirit! Guide our College
So, with charity and faith we’ll work for progress.
We’re the girls of Regina Pacis College,
Yearning for all round culture

Good character make true education
Worth and manners clothe the honourable lady,
Who will raise up a good family
To adorn a worthy nation.

Chorus; Holy Spirit…

When we’re parent or true religious
Towards God our children we will mould;
So that when life’s race is won and over,
We shall wear the blessed crown..

Chorus; Holy Spirit…

Oh my sweet Alma mater how I love you
You’ve nurtured me with wisdom and tenderness
So your image aroma l’ll project;
And be indebted ever to you.

Chorus; Holy Spirit…

Brief History

The group inspired by the then archbishop of Onitsha, His Grace Most Rev. Charles Heerey conceived the idea of establishing a centre for skill acquisition and youth development. Consequently, a portion of land was acquired in 1962 at number 13 Awka road (present site), for immediate take off of the project. Despite early efforts, operations could not begin at the proposed site until 1966, when Rev. Fr. A. Byne was appointed the director of the centre by the archbishop. The appointment of Rev. Fr. A. Byne celebrated the growth of the centre, and branches were opened at Nnewi, Adazi, Nimo, Obeledu and Oraukwu. Courses such as motor mechanic (dropped for want of space), furniture, cloth making, fashion designing, typing and shorthand, accounting and business method, catering and management studies were taught. This enabled the church to give holistic education, that involved the use of head and hands to the youth.

Trustees

For effective management of the centre, the following people were appointed the first trustees of the institution.

  • Mrs Cecilia Arinze.
  • Mr. Fred Okwudili Anyaegbunam.
  • Hon. George Ume Ezeoke.
  • Sir Joseph Ozoemena Nwankwu.
  • Dr. Joseph Ihejiofor.
  • Mrs. Ann Onyeogoegbunam.
