What Our Principal Says
Leading Our Students to Success – From the Principal's Desk at GK Memorial School “Education Is Not the Learning of Facts, But the Training of The Mind to Think” Albert Einstein
Today, the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive members of an ever-changing global society.
As the Principal of the school, I feel honoured and privileged to be part of an educational institution where every stakeholder is a learner and every day is an opportunity to learn and discover. We look at ourselves as a community of learners, where everyone learns including our teachers, parents & staff.
I believe in upholding high standards with an absolute commitment to strive to understand and improve the educational process, using team strategies, while wholly centring on students’ achievement.
Our staff fruitfully employs two diverse strategies that are of Love and Logic to foster a positive learning environment for all our students. Love and Logic may seem like two contrasting forces. While love helps nurture trusting relationships, where students feel respected, appreciated and loved by the teachers, logic helps develop students’ personal responsibility, self-control, decision making skills,self-confidence, and character building with high moral values.
The student’s learning involves and revolves around an effective partnership between home & school. We know the stronger the partnership, the more your child will benefit.
Whilst we know that the information here will give you answers to some of your questions, we also know that learning is social, and in this context, we encourage you to come and speak to us in person for a more detailed perspective.
I look forward to working with you as we help create a school where parents are welcome at any time, students are engaged in meaningful learning and the staff members are valued and appreciated for their efforts.
I enjoy celebrating successes and acknowledge hard work of staff, students and community and believe this is one of the fundamental contributors to a happy school environment.
Community engagement and involvement in the school is important to me as Principal. I regularly consult with my community as part of school self-review and encourage community engagement in the curriculum and learning programmes.
