He added that; “I was very confident of the abilities of my students hence I was interested in the first prize. The boys tried a great deal. They displayed great courage and intelligence. It says so much about the high standard maintained in the school. We are committed to our mission and vision of enhancing productive learning in a serene and conducive environment.”
