She particularly urged students to take their education seriously, noting that their commitment was essential to preserving the institution's legacy.

"Our school success depends on the commitment of the teachers, school leadership, parents, and old students and as well, very, very importantly on the seriousness with which current students approach their education," she said.

She added that current students also had a responsibility to uphold the school's standards by demonstrating discipline and dedication to their studies.
