Tardy kids a challenge

A DISPLAY OF LOUTISH BEHAVIOUR, and student tardiness exacerbated by a poor quality transport service, have been highlighted as among the major challenges faced by educators at Coleridge and Parry School.

These were among the issues identified by principal Vincent Fergusson (below) as he delivered his annual report at the school’s speech day recently in the institution’s J. S. Yearwood Hall. vincent-fergusson

“You have heard of our triumphs, but we are also beset with some challenges,” Fergusson said. “Hats off to our teachers as we continue to experience serious problems with student tardiness, some of their own doing and, in recent times, some created by the transport system.

“If a student misses any time from school, that student is at an immediate disadvantage even though the circumstance may be unavoidable. Parents, make every effort and ensure your wards are on time for school and classes.” (RRM)
