HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY TO ALL TEACHERS

Today is Teachers' Day. For former students and students still in school, let us remember our teachers with respect and kindness.

Through their dedication and mentoring, they moulded us into human beings. Without their tireless effort in classes, sporting and through extra-curricular activities, we were able to learn values, compassion, responsibilities, honour and other aspects of life.

Do take some time to reflect on our teachers.

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY
