education director, spoke on discipline in school, saying it is essential in
everyday learning.
She
very well highlighted the importance of discipline, saying it is the quality of
being able to bear very hard work and obeying a particular rule or standard.
Mrs
Cole pointed out that discipline should be a natural thing whether there is
something to control a people or not. “Discipline should be natural,” she
added.
She
urged parents not to leave every aspect of the training of their children in
the hands of teachers. Parents should also play their part in disciplining
their children, she added.
Mrs
Cole concluded by congratulating the outgoing grade 9 students and advised them
to take their education seriously, to be successful leaders tomorrow.
In
his remarks, Mr Badara Joof, chairperson of the Parent Teachers Association
(PTA), said Seino is a school which makes sure children are well behaved.
“The
school moulds the lives of children. I therefore thank the school
administration for that,” he said.
For
her part, Ida Bah, the head girl of the school, who gave the vote of thanks,
praised the teachers for shaping their lives, and prayed for good health and
long life for them.
She
