“I want to thank the Responsible Authority for the support they give us as a school and I am personally happy with the improved results both at ‘A’ and ‘O’ levels in my maiden year as Head of this school. There is no substitute for hard work and as our motto goes, ‘VANE SHUNGU VACHAFARA’,” said Dunatuna.
