FROM THE OFFICE

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the work at hand, and the determination to apply the best of ourselves to the task ahead, whether we win or lose.

Wow! There is no better word to describe the success of our athletes at the recent Cluster meeting. All their hard work and dedication has certainly paid off. We ended second out of 15 schools, hot on the heels of the winner on the day.

An Irish proverb says, “You will never plough a field if you only turn it over in your mind.” All the best to our learners who are hard at work preparing for matches, galas and events involving various activities, as well as every learner who is ploughing daily on their academic and cultural areas.

The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. - Earl of Beaconsfield

MIDSTREAM CARES – BE INVOLVED!

Each year, Midstream College Primary School reaches out to families in need by providing basic non-perishable food and other household items. Together with KSM, we want to distribute food optimally and effectively to families in need. Food bags are filled by Midstream families every month and delivered to the school, whereafter they are handed over to KSM for distribution. Alternatively, you can choose to sponsor bags during the year by paying the amount per bag directly into the church’s account each month.

This is an easy way to get involved in charity work and include your children in a caring project.

Please see the pamphlet for further information.
