Complement Message: In Dr. Chawira’s assembly yesterday, we celebrated World Compliment Day. This was the takeaway from his message;
This day the College appreciates you for exceptional uniqueness designed for a good purpose. Psalm 139:14.
Keep complimenting because your words may be the only pillars of strength that someone is pulling themselves up to stand again.
Benefits of compliments:
1. Build relationships
2. Improve communication
3. Motivate people
4. Boosting self- esteem and self-confidence.
Tour Updates: Rugby tour is fast approaching, we encourage parents to settle any outstanding fees. A reminder to the parents of all those in the touring team of tonight’s virtual meeting – 5:30pm.
We are also leading up to the cricket and hockey tours, more details to follow.
