St. Maria De Mattias Pre and Primary School at Vikawe

At St. Maria De Mattias Pre and Primary School at Vikawe, education is more than books, lessons and academic achievement. It is a journey of forming young minds, nurturing good hearts and inspiring children to become responsible and compassionate members of society. Guided by the Gospel values and inspired by the example of St. Maria De Mattias, the school is committed to forming pupils who are academically competent, morally upright, spiritually grounded and socially responsible.
At the heart of the school’s mission is a commitment to justice, peace and care for creation. These values are not simply taught as lessons but are lived through everyday experiences. Pupils are encouraged to recognize the dignity and rights of every person, speak the truth with courage, reject discrimination and bullying, and treat others with fairness, kindness and respect. In this way, the classroom becomes a place where justice is learned, practiced and shared.
The school also seeks to nurture a generation of peacemakers. Through kindness, forgiveness, dialogue, cooperation and prayer, pupils learn that peace begins with each person and grows through the way we relate to others. They are encouraged to carry the spirit of peace from the classroom into their families, communities and the wider society.
Care for creation is equally an important part of the school’s mission. Recognizing the earth as a precious gift from God, pupils are encouraged to become responsible guardians of our common home. Through keeping their surroundings clean, planting and caring for trees, avoiding waste and using resources responsibly, they discover that even small actions can make a meaningful difference. Respect for all living creatures is nurtured as an expression of gratitude for God’s wonderful creation.
Through this holistic approach to education, St. Maria De Mattias Pre and Primary School at Vikawe strives to form not only successful pupils, but young people with values, vision and a heart for service. The school seeks to raise responsible leaders, defenders of justice, builders of peace and guardians of creation—young people who can bring light, hope and positive change wherever they go.
Ultimately, the school envisions a community where faith becomes action, knowledge becomes service and education becomes a path towards a better future. Inspired by St. Maria De Mattias, the school continues to nurture young hearts and minds, believing that every child has the potential to become a source of hope and transformation in the world.
