"With the theme, "Inspiring the Dreams of the Young", we hope that this award will help contribute to make the dreams of our youths come true because we believe that no child should be deprived of reaching his/her greatest potential in life.

"I would also like to congratulate the students who are chosen to be the recipient of this award. It is important for you to realise that the years you are spending in school are very important for your future. The school will always provide the necessary resources for education and parents are willing to sacrifice financially because we all believe that education is the key to progress and prosperity.
