As an educator, I believe that it is important for education to be based on 'drawing out' rather than 'drilling in' and that is the philosophy that we wish to encourage.
Since time immemorial there have been discussions about what is taught in schools. Socrates was fed poison and the price paid by William of Ockham and Galileo is common knowledge; however everyone involded needs to appreciate the fact that what was right yesterday may not be so today. Education is dynamic and constatly evolving.
We too as a school, are taking baby steps in that direction. The touchstones of education thus far have been Reading, Writing and Arithmetic but in the present, unprecedented scenario we have redefined it to Rethink, Realign and Redesign.
I am positive that our resilient, innovative students supported by their school and family will overcome with aplomb any obstacle that life chooses to throw their way and towards that I wish them Godspeed! To end in the words of advice columnist, Ann Landers,
