respected and supportive NDA Sisters, to our very hardworking teachers, to the students and

“Education is not received. It is achieved.” A quotation that fits for this occasion especially to
all students here who will receive their certificates and awards.

This time of the month is one the most awaited months on the part of the students as well as
their parents. These students who gave their very best to achieve something they dreamed of
and most specially to make their parents proud; and also, to the proud parents who gave their
greatest effort and support to their children, who struggle with them physically, emotionally
and of course financially.
