Our Lady of Lourdes College (previously known as ''Our Lady of Lourdes Secondary School'' ), Mankon, is a Roman Catholic, all-girls secondary school located in Mankon, Bamenda in the North West Province of Cameroon. It is run by the Holy Rosary Sisters under the authority of the Archdiocese of Bamenda. The school is reputed for producing some of the best results during official exams in Cameroon .〔The Cameroon GCE 2012 Online Results Centre Number 1025'' (search "1025" for lourdes ())〕 ==History== Our Lady of Lourdes Secondary School was founded in 1963 by Father Nabben who was a Parish priest for St. Joseph's Parish, in Mankon, Bamenda. He wanted to offer education for girls, especially at a period when female education was not a priority. Upon completion of a school building in 1963, he asked Bishop Peeters, the Catholic Bishop of West Cameroon, permission to open the school. St. Joseph's Parish, Mankon generously donated a building and the establishment was named and entrusted into the care of Our Lady of Lourdes. On 15 October 1963, its doors were opened to the first 35 girls. Our Lady of Lourdes College joined Saker Baptist College and Queen of the Rosary College, Okoyong, as the only all-girls secondary schools in Cameroon. Throughout the years Our Lady of Lourdes College has expanded with new buildings, facilities and programs serving about seven hundred students.〔http://www.lourdescollege.cm/index.php/education〕 The association of ex-students (or alumni) is known as the ''Lourdes Ex-Students Association'' (''LESA'') and ex-students are called LESANs.〔The Our Lady of Lourdes Ex-students website (graduating classes from 1968 ())〕 Since the school was opened in 1963, it has undergone dramatic changes to date. As a boarding school, it first included four dormitories for the students called: Rosary, Fatima, Bernadette and Immaculata. In 2005, a high school was built and opened under the school's principal, Sr. Eucharia Ndidi. With the addition of the high school came a change in the name of the school to Our Lady of Lourdes College. Furthermore, two more dormitories were built to accommodate the new high school. The new dormitories were named: Shanahan and Saint Paul. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Our Lady of Lourdes College Mankon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
