  1. WELCOME TO TERM 2!

On behalf of the SGB and SMT of the school, we would like to welcome our staff, learners, and parents to Term 2. We heartily thank our school community for their hard work in Term 1 and we look forward to an exciting term ahead. All the best to our staff and learners for this academic term. We encourage our learners to focus on their studies to achieve excellent results. We advise our parents to monitor their children’s books and assessment plan from the beginning of the term as well as to communicate and co-operate with our educators. Without the support and active involvement of our parents/guardians, providing a quality education to our learners will be a difficult feat to achieve.
