A Roundup of the Kreaverse
|
Like every other week, as we put together another edition, we take a moment to sit back and take pride in having the best and brightest across our ecosystem, a remarkable community of students, a robust set of teachers, a determined group of staff, and extraordinary behind-the-scenes heroes. Krea, this Week continues to truly be an ode to them, to us. Also, just like every other year, as admissions cycles kick off with vigour, we eagerly anticipate another set of gritty, earnest and resilient young students who will join us in this journey of learning and beyond that we have set out on. As we move into the last few weeks of 2025, here’s raising a toast to, gentle conclusions and brand new beginnings.
