Beyond school, this transformation shapes you for college, workplaces, and future entrepreneurship. Embrace Gandhi’s wisdom, ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world.’ As leaders, embody accountability, morals, collaboration, and humility. Embrace diverse perspectives and the power of ‘Please, Sorry and Thank You’ in your endeavours. Congratulations and let us march towards a better tomorrow, hand in hand.”
