Hospitality Department :

HOD:-

In St. Partrick’s we believe in the principles of welcoming guests based largely on the example of St. Patrick’s. Further still the school is a Christian institution and hospitality plays no small role in the realm of Biblical ethics. Biblical Admonitions exhorted the Israelite and the early Christian to practice this virtue. its practice characterized Abraham (Gen. 18:2-8).

The school is a national school and it is therefore necessary to have a department to cater for guests who visit the school. The school also has international links given that the sports especially athletics is promoted in the school more over there are several activities which are carried out in the school given that the school is situated in the head quarters of a county.

Some of the activities carried out by the department are:-

•  provide hospitality services during academic day
• Play a major role during price giving days
• Any other activity that requires hospitality services.

Our ultimate goal is to offer the best service to enhance the academic development in the school. We wish to make the students, teachers, parents and all stakeholders to feel at home far away from home.

The department wish to thank all the students, teachers and non-teaching staff for the support they have given the department we hope to give the best we can. Thank you.
