Mr. Gajere also advised parents not to intervene in their children’s chosen careers.
“Everybody has an assignment in this world, and they must be able to tune into that assignment. Two children can never be the same, and parents should not impose their expectations on their children.”
Lawrence Tor, a student of Blue House, who participated in the 100m hurdle and volleyball, said, “My team put in their best to be outstanding, and I am very happy we came out well. I wish the school all the very best in its future endeavours.”
