WELCOME!

It is vital that the student and the parents co-exist with the teacher in monitoring the activities a student has to work on and the rules that apply when a rule is broken especially if it disrupts the smooth flow of scheduled activities. I look forward to having a harmonious teamwork with all of you throughout the school year.

Thank you.
