We've made a short film in honor to Claudina, which reminds what she taught us. It is also related with Carnival.

Claudina Théhevet (30th March, 1774) was born in Lyon, France, in a family of sill merchants. Her relatives called her "Glady". She died on February 3, in 1837.

Her life was marked by French Revolution. At the age of 19, 5th february 1794, she witnessed the shooting of two of her siblings. Despite her deep pain, she forgave them.

Father Coindre proposed Claudina to take in two orphaned girls, and so she did. With time more and more girls were taken in until Congregation of the Religious of Jesus and Mery wa formed. Her last words before dying were: "How good is God".

Claudina is our school's symbol; her ability to forgive, her power, her love and dedication towards orphaned girls and God... She inspires us and cheers us to follow her steps.
