“I’ve always tried – both when I was a teacher and during the last six years as principal – to be close to my students in the right way, to know them, to be aware of the competitions they’ve been to, what their strengths are, and what still needs improvement. Their knowledge is above average, but there is always room for more,” said the principal.
