Yesterday, at the 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵 in 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲, our Class of 2026 joined matriculants from 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆, 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆, 𝗠𝗰𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗸𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹, 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 and 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗖 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 for a special gathering of young people standing on the threshold of something much bigger than school.

With words of encouragement from various departmental officials, including District Director 𝗠𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝗻𝘇𝗼𝗹𝗮, our matrics were reminded that the road ahead will demand courage, discipline and belief in what they are capable of achieving.

Then came a moment that made us especially proud.

Three young women. Three places among the best. And three reminders of what can happen when hard work meets opportunity, and determination refuses to give up.

𝗥𝘂𝗾𝗮𝘆𝘆𝗮, 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘆 and 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗮, your achievement belongs to you, but your success is also an inspiration to every learner sitting in our classrooms and wondering just how far they can go.
