Greetings and a warm welcome to each and everyone present in this festive 2024
Respected chairman, Dr .N. Marie Wilson, dignitaries, dear parents, well-wishers, my dear staff and Students , a pleasant Evening wishes to you all.
Real Education fetches you more than a job.
It teaches you to live. It cannot be measured in any tangible way.
It is an enduring tradition to take time to pause: turn around to look at the fruitful year gone by achieving both the expected and unexpected white setting various milestones and then synergising ourselves to move ahead to face the challenges in the coming year with a positive attitude
