In her quote, Mother Teresa very powerfully captures important wisdom about how to approach life (and schooling) to make it more fulfilling and significant. Teaching and learning offers us all numerous opportunities to focus on a number of “small things” that culminate over time to produce students that are prepared to do the “great things” of life. With this in mind, ultimately as a school community we are judged by the actions of our students and the way new student learning connects and impacts the world beyond our school. As a Mother’s Pride High school, we are committed to integrating the co-curricular activities into learning opportunities because we believe that we learn better with and through these activities. Our mission statement reflects this commitment: “With the support of staff and families, MPHS students explore, express and excel academically and creatively. In partnership with our community, we integrate the education to ignite enthusiasm, deepen understanding, and enhance learning for every student.” Being the Head of this institution , I value the social and emotional development of each child as they transition from their primary years through early adolescence. I value life-long learning and aim to make your child’s learning experience at Mother’s Pride High School engaging and exciting. As the principal of Mother’s Pride High School, I believe that it is my responsibility to maintain and to continue to build a supportive and collaborative spirit at our school. Together as a school community, we will build on the traditions of the past and meet the challenges of the future in innovative and exciting ways.
