Principal's Update

Dear Colleagues,

The renovation of the General Office will begin this week, and with the office now some distance away, do go by the office at least once a day to catch up on your admin and clear your letter trays too. Do take note that the CCTV system is temporarily not available for the next few weeks.

As we enter week 9, let's take this time to reflect on the work of the year gone. In the coming weeks, we will start our year-end reviews and it is very important that we understand clearly the impact of our work on the students and the school, and have the openness to make improvements. Do take this time to collect your thoughts and share them when at the review meetings.

“Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.”

- Margaret J. Wheatley
