In today’s world, the most sensible advice one can offer any young person is ‘Invest in Yourself’. If you think about it, this is the only real safe investment. Nations have been razed over-night. Money can be devalued. Even banks have been known to fail. But the specialist knowledge you put into your head and the qualifications you acquire are yours – always. Nobody can ever take them from you. Whatever may happen in the years ahead, the trained man or woman – the qualified person – has earning power.

Any wise parent or guardian will be in no doubt that a qualification which provides the person with an ability to function in a job environment, and with an ability to build a career and earn a good living is such a rewarding investment, that it is worth almost anything to see that their wards get it.

You will agree with us that in this highly competitive field of employment, jobs are scarce, and only efficient and well trained young people stand a fair chance in obtaining a decently paid job. With this in mind, we have designed our School & College curriculum to provide the students with sound training in every aspect of life and stages of future chosen profession.

I see it as an institution where a 20+ year legacy coheres seamlessly with the innovations of the 21st century and where tradition meets modernity without disruption or fracture. It is where we teach our students how to understand and empower themselves with that which lies outside them – technology, information, communication, interaction, etc. – as well as with what lies within them – strength, resilience, integrity, and character.

In a world increasingly plagued by intolerance, insecurities, bitterness and violence, I believe our students stand out as proud and successful symbols of alternative narratives. As educators, it is our responsibility to endeavour to guide and mould our students into capable citizens of tomorrow – young men and women who live up to the highest standards of personal honour and who combine within themselves the qualities of both intellect and empathy, knowledge, and sensitivity, individuality and collaboration – for themselves, their communities, their country, and the world.

I leave you now to choose and reach a decision, which may quite literally change the course of your life for the better.
