First posting by the new Vice Principal

Hi Everyone
Glad to be posted to Endeavour Primary as the new Vice Principal and appreciate the warm welcome accorded to me by everyone in the school. My full name is Bhim Bahadur Gurung and have been in the teaching service for 25 years now. I have just returned from a 1-year study leave and I am really looking forward to contributing back to the teaching service. I have been thinking of the most appropriate words to describe my feelings about getting posted to Endeavour Primary School. I feel privileged and fortunate but the overwhelming feeling is one of excitement.

I am excited at the prospect of being in Endeavour Primary School because, as a prototype single-session school, we are going have a say in setting the standards on how single session schools are going to function in the future. Our school’s vision “Leading schools into the future” is a bold declaration of our intention and I see this vision as our key driving force.

I am also excited at the prospect of belonging to this pioneer batch of teachers and pupils, working together to create in our school, a most conducive teaching and learning environment for the holistic development of our pupils. For example, the current “No Heavy School Bag Programme” (NHSB) and the “Every Child Holistic Programme”(ECHP) are two key programmes that hold the promise to define what Endeavour School stands for. They encapsulate the school’s mission to develop our pupils in the cognitive, aesthetic, moral, physical and social (CAMPS) domains.

Finally, I am excited because the school’s guiding philosophy resonates with my own belief that every child can not only achieve but actually excel, given the proper guidance, motivation and support. I am really looking forward to my experience in Endeavour Primary School and I am confident that it will be a learning experience that will leave a lasting impression in me.

Warm regards
