Message from HOD: "Health is the foundation of learning. A healthy child is an active learner. Our department works tirelessly to ensure that every student receives the medical attention, health education, and support they need to thrive. We believe in preventive healthcare and early intervention. I encourage parents to work with us to maintain their children's health records and report any health concerns promptly."
