Dear readers,
This week marked an exciting milestone for us as we officially launched the second Empower Program with an energetic orientation week! It was a week filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a sense of anticipation as 125 new students got to know their homeroom teachers and fellow classmates through a series of engaging activities.
One of the highlights of the week was introducing our students to the ethos of Avinya, the guiding principles that are the foundation of our program. We took this as an opportunity to convey the values and expectations we have for our students, setting the tone for a successful journey ahead. The homeroom teachers have been hard at work, also making sure the necessary documentation has been sorted, to ensure a smooth start to the program.
After orientation week, students will be kicking off their Empower journey with our new and improved “My digital passport” on their brand-new devices. We believe that digital literacy is a fundamental skill for the future, and we’re excited to provide our students with the tools they need to thrive in a digitally driven world. Another Empower program is born, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to embark on this educational journey with our new group of students!
In the world of IT, our young tech enthusiasts have wasted no time in diving headfirst into the exciting world of coding. Some of them have already completed entire modules and written their very first lines of code. We’re very proud of their progress and can’t wait to see where their newfound coding abilities will take them.
As we look ahead, we’re filled with optimism and excitement for the second Empower Program. With a motivated group of students, dedicated teachers, and a strong commitment to our ethos, we’re confident that these six months will be yet another testament to growth, learning, and countless opportunities for our students to shine.
