Whole School Assembly

Whole School Assembly

Resilience was the theme of the Principal's address to the whole school assembly yesterday.

Ms. Hayat reminded students that they were standing on the shoulders of the students from the past sixty-six years, all of whom strived to live up to the school motto of Loyalty and Courage. Resilience is one of the waka values that underpins Loyalty and Courage. We are halfway through the third term, with exams only four weeks away. Students must have the courage to face what may be difficult and possess the resilience to persevere even when it becomes challenging. As the great Mohammad Ali once said, “Don’t count the days. Make the days count.”

Thank you to Samuel Shah 12Wd, who provided the musical interlude with an outstanding performance on guitar.

Congratulations to all students whose effort and success were recognised.
