The First Word Dear Parents,
Another rewarding academic session has come to an end. On behalf of my staff, I would like to commend all students on their effort and hard work. Throughout the year, our students were involved in various academic and co-curricular activities that has made them more enthusiastic and confident learners. While we look at the students proudly and applaud their academic achievements, we must not forget the importance of character development towards achieving success. Schwartzkopf said, “Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.”To ensure that our children have a positive character, we need to practice and inculcate the core values of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and good citizenship. Let us resolve to help our younger generation appreciate and practice these values. Together, we will be able to ensure that they make a difference in their own lives and are able to positively influence the part of the world they touch.
