A Roundup of the Kreaverse
|
We are racing towards the end of August, inching closer to the wrap of a trimester. Another chapter in depth, discipline and richness while cultivating rigour, being patient, and finding comfort with uncertainty.
Amid all the challenges and changes, there has been no time riper with opportunities than now. And we are ready, each day, preparing students to face important challenges, empowered by the cultivated mind that has a fighting chance of tackling them with depth, vision and clarity. A journey powered by knowledge, humility, justice, civility and a shared purpose.
