EDUCATION
Perhaps the most valuable result of all education and educating children is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not, it is the first lesson that ought to be learned and however early a man’s training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
CLEANERS’ CHRISTMAS HAMPERS
It is a tradition at our school that parents contribute towards a Christmas hamper for our cleaning staff as a way of conveying to them our sincere thanks for the wonderful work they do during the course of the year. It will be greatly appreciated if each learner could bring to school one or more non-perishable items as a contribution.
