Addressing the audience, His Excellency Mr. Edward Hobart stated, “In 2014, when the initial study was founded and set up for this building, it's unbelievable it came up in six months. And I'm so happy, seeing the individuals learning within this environment, now, that I've come back ten and a bit years later, 11 years now.

It's a pleasure to see the school grown, a school community grown, all the achievements, and the pride that you've got in those many awards you've received. It shows just how much work it has taken to grow this, and how much reward we all get as adults to see the children here as they grow. Great! Congratulations and good luck.”

Chairman Mr. Lanson Lazar reflected, “A decade of excellence is not just a milestone, it is a celebration of the collective spirit, creativity, and perseverance that has fueled our community's pursuit of educational excellence over the past decade. As we celebrate this milestone, we honour the past, cherish the present, and shape the future.”
