Mention must also be made of the teachers who worked diligently with these students during lunch time sessions, non-teaching periods and after school in some cases. Science teacher, Mr. Amarnath Maharaj; English Department, Ms. Cheriez Lucas, Mrs. Sunita Maharaj and Mrs. Anilla Motilal; and Visual Arts Department, Supria Deonanan.
When the students were asked about their feelings about their successes, it was a commonly expressed by the participants that the preservation of nature is something close to them, hence their passion led to their success. Their feelings reflect one of the many important principles of Sanaatan Dharma, which is the preservation of Dharti Maa!
Congratulations to all members of staff and students for an outstanding job!
