MESSAGE FROM SUPERVISOR OF SCHOOLS

In the past one year, the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be easing but it still has an impact on our lives. Even though the effect of the infection is weaker, the number of people infected is still relatively high. With the safety measures gradually easing in our school and society at large, things are returning to near normal. However, we are aware there is a new normal that we are confronted with.

This pandemic has highlighted the issue of mental health for many people. It has affected our students, as well as our teachers and staff. It has added on to the stress that people are already experiencing in their daily lives. As teachers in our schools, we are invited to care for these persons, whether it is the children or adults, as they need our compassion and understanding. How can we help each other to face these challenges?

Being faced with such disruption in our lives, in the school as well as in our society, it calls for us to have the necessary inner strength to weather through this storm. Indeed, what is needed is for us to build a stronger sense of confidence, in our self and with others too. With this confidence the weathering through will need us to be persevering in the face of difficulties. Thus, with Confidence and Perseverance we can overcome all adversity and come through this difficult time a better person.
