This is the 25th anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Phillip. On May 20 each pupil will receive a medallion in honour of this event. A special program for the pupils will be held at the school on this date and the staff will attempt to involve the pupils in a meaningful commemoration on this great occasion. It seems to us that the development of the proper attitudes of citizenship and responsibility could be considered as one way of marking this important anniversary. We hope to encourage a sense of responsibility among our pupils by carrying out par- ticular duties in and around the school. We hope that parents, too, can look back at the last 25 years of Queen Elizabeth's reign with some satisfaction so that they can look forward to the future with greater faith and confidence.
