Dear Parents,
It’s often seen that one of the biggest challenges in
our lives is arriving somewhere on time. It is espe-
cially difficult during the winter mornings or dur-
ing busy hours. However, as parents and educa-
tors, it is vital that we teach children the value of
punctuality. Not only is it polite and respectful of
others, but it is a critical life lesson for children to
understand how much time they need to success-
fully meet their responsibilities.
Arriving at school on time is an important way
that we can show our children the importance of
timeliness. In CGS we stress the need for students
to get to school before lockout for good reasons. CGS RS CONFERENCE LOWER ACP 2023

Dear Reader,
Last week I received a text from a former CGS par-
ent who migrated to the US recently. Her son left
at the start of Class 9. He was allowed to get ad-
mitted to Class 10 in Florida. The authorities per-
mitted this due to the advanced subjects taught at
an early age and also due to the study load he en-
dured at CGS. The parent expressed her gratitude
and appreciation for such a structured and worthy
curriculum at CGS.
I often run into our former students and some of
them frequently get in touch. It is heartening to see
that they have all emerged as successful individuals
settled in different professions scattered across the
globe. They all express their gratitude to the school
for giving them a good foundation in their early
years. While reminiscing about their school days
they talk about the challenging and hectic life at
CGS and how they used to struggle and how those See conference supplement link below:
hurdles helped them later on in life.
If you are currently tense about your child’s stress, S4csYx8ZBv6wYNE
or performance, I would advise you to stop think-
ing about removing their easily manageable work-
loads and rather equip them with skills or the
mechanisms on dealing and overcoming them. This
will make them stronger, build resilience and en-
rich their lives for a successful future.
At times things may seem unfair, school may seem
like a burden but in the long run all will work out
for the best.

Dear Parents,
After having an eventful month, filled with activi-
ties, our students are stepping into March. In Feb-
ruary they participated in the in-house Round
Square Conference, annual athletics, and went on
adventure trips to Mati-ta. Most school activities
will now be taking a backseat as our students will
gear up to sit for their second round of mock ex-
aminations. It is imperative that they learn to
manage their time between school, self-studying,
and relaxing. As the students will already be under
tremendous pressure, I would like to implore you
all to ensure that your children are eating properly
and getting enough sleep. Physical and mental
health is of utmost importance during stressful
times. Encourage your children to take breaks be-
tween studying to listen to music, do mindfulness,
exercise or spend time with family to unwind.
Ramadan is right around the corner. This blessed
month is a great opportunity for spiritual reflec- See conference supplement link below:

well as rejuvenate the soul. The 26th of March
marks the 52nd Independence Day of Bangladesh.
Pinning flags to uniforms, watching the national
flag hoisting and singing the national anthem -
Independence day celebration in school is always
going to be a treasured memory for many. This In-

peace and diversity of our great nation.
CGS wishes everyone a blessed Ramadan Kareem
and a joyous Independence Day!
