CGS joyous graduation and wise words for parents, teachers

Congratulations to everyone over at CGS on their final assembly and graduation ceremony on Thursday, June 14. The joyous event marked the end of another year of fun and hard work

Graduates were sent off to their new adventures with love and the rest of the CGS community looks forward to returning in September, after a well=deseerved summer break. 

Principal Marie Bates closed the ceremony with the wise words of author William Martin.

Do not ask your children
to strive for extraordinary lives.
Such striving may seem admirable,
but it is a way of foolishness.
Help them instead to find wonder
and the marvel of an ordinary life.
Show them the joy of tasting
tomatoes, apples, and pears.
Show then how to cry
when pets and people die.
Show them the infinite pleasure
in the touch of a hand.
And make the ordinary come alive for them.
The extraordinary will take care of itself ~ William Martin
