What do you think we can do about it?

What do you think we can do about it?

Walk the talk- practicing what we preach Make punctuality and regularity a priority Ensure that they eat a healthy meal Keep in touch with the school management Replicate the discipline that we try to establish in

school- double standards confuse children Targeting excellence – not just bare minimum Align your lives with DEEN Keep yourself updated Model respect for school even if you do not agree with

certain aspects Know that school recommendations are based on

performance in schools and not only in the CIE – and they are IMPORTANT!

Model and practice GRATITUDE – not everyone is as blessed as we are.

Give feedback and suggestions – you are most WELCOME 03433021560
