Words of the Author…
Leadership brings out the best of me. I become the best version of myself,
leading by example. Having appointed as a School Principal - July 2018, I stand
not to strive to make a living, but aspire to make a difference: my living
framework I tried to adopt in the learning community where my feet stand.
But I see life as more challenging ahead when challenges go tougher too.
I left classrooms because I believe, leading a school is a better avenue of my
desires. The prime responsibility of all school leaders is to put learning at the
centre of everything: student learning first, then everyone else’s learning in
support of it, will follow. “By loving our learners more than their abilities, we
show to our learners that they are more than the sum of their accomplishments.”
I was strong, I am… and I will be strong because every time I see the
learners in school, especially the struggling ones, I am certain their future is
dependent to how they are taught, today.
