Hm's Desk I welcome our entire parent and student body into the New Year, 2017; while we continue to adjust to the change in temperatures and daylight. As darkness descends earlier in the evening and the nights turn colder, I am reminded that the Federal capital city is awash in gorgeous fall colours. In the same manner I cannot cease to believe that goodness supersedes darkness; as this year was much brighter and happier than yesteryear in terms of security conditions in the city, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities held at school, and academic and extra-curricular achievements of our students. The academic term will continue to extend a range of learning platforms for our learners: • Club Activities
•
Safety Evacuation drills
• Sports Activities
• • •
Physical, Social, Health Education classes
• Special Days' Celebrations • Social Events • Extra Support classes for Matric and ~
Career counselling sessions PTMs and more.

I am incredibly excited about this change in s61,ool culture, where we take our time to listen and tend carefully to the needs of our students. Remember that we are here to support areas of accomplishment and growth of our students. As the year unfolds and the seasons come-and-go, we will seek feedback along the way so, please, be on the lookout for brief surveys. We look forward to students, faculty, and parents/guardians bringing forward ideas that help us to shape the much needed culture shift. I would like to take this opportunity
to thank all of our parents and students for the amazing individual
attitude
during the last term.
