Salute to teachers

Rohitesh Chand, Nadroga The Term 2 school holidays has gone past whereby many teachers took time to catch up with their families, friends or attended to their personal commitments. However, I wish to acknowledge and salute those teachers who thought otherwise and went out of their way to provide another learning platform for the students in terms of extracurricular activities or sports.

These included activities such as national scouts camping, Kaji Rugby, secondary schools football, netball, swimming, hockey and many other activities and sports tournaments.

It requires a lot of sacrifice and juggling of family time to be involved in such activities and not only this, most importantly the courage and risk to take the responsibility of duty of care for students.

This is because if all things will go well there will be very less taps on the back but if something goes wrong, there will be many confrontations from many different angles. And that is why teachers who were involved in these activities and sports must be commended.

They do this because of their passion and love towards students and the activities. Thumbs up colleagues and be rest assured that your sacrifice will be rewarded in one way or the other. You may not have realised, but indeed your sacrifice has enabled students to learn more new things outside the classroom and most importantly that will remain as lifetime memories for them. Many thanks and best wishes for Term 3
