FOUNDER'S SPEECH ON 2022 PRIZE-GIVING/ GRADUATION PARTY HOLDING TODAY 5TH AUGUST 2022.
Good morning, Director,
Management Board,
Parents and Teachers
Honoured Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Boys and Girls,
I am pleased to welcome you all to this colourful ceremony. Today, we are all here to bid farewell to our 5th graders who are going to join the elementary school or continue their education in the high school.
It gives me great pleasure to look at this row of Year 5 and Early Year 3 students. You and your parents have worked hard this year and today we celebrate your success. You have worked very hard this year, growing not only physically but also growing in character and academic achievement. Your teachers are full of admiration for the way you braced your academic and non academic learning, attending school regularly and completing your schoolwork conscientiously.
A special thank you goes to you our dearest parents for your work at home during this difficult time. Your commitment and support was critical in helping our students keep up with their studies. You sat by your child to motivate them and offer help. You encouraged your child when they felt overwhelmed by schoolwork.
I also want to thank our teachers and staff, who have lived through an incredible year, a year unlike any we’ve experienced before. You have had to rapidly adjust to changing circumstances and have stretched yourselves to the limit to keep the school running. Without your passion for education and your commitment to our students and Arrows Foundation International School, we could not have done this. God bless you all
CHARGE:
It’s true that my colleagues and I have been tough with you at times, but this doesn’t mean that we hate or dislike you—this was all part of a larger effort to prepare you for the greater challenges that lie ahead, and to nurture you and construct a strong foundation for your futures. Under our guidance, you have reached this impressive milestone in your life with great honour and integrity.
As you embark on your respective journeys, much will happen: you will choose careers and find that life can get very complicated if you let it. As you go you will figure out who you are as human beings. Who you are and what you are made of is something that evolves over time and is made up of little choices you make every day. Life is a truly wonderful journey.
Never forget the good virtues you have learnt. Be kind to people. Say the truth at all times. Do not brag or bully. Work and Pray. You are arrows in the hands of the Almighty.
Long Live Arrows Foundation International School
