PAST principal of Jai Hind School, the late Reggie Govender would have celebrated his 60th birthday on July 24. To celebrate the event, the Govender siblings, Padma, Shumba, Devi and the late Selvan, made a generous donation of school library books and pool chemicals at a special assembly last Friday.
Deputy principal Rosh Audan presented a profile of Mr Govender’s 27 years’ association with the school. He initially served as a level one teacher, then as a HOD, as deputy principal and at the time of his demise, as principal.
In her acceptance, as principal and on behalf of the school, Mrs Audan paid a special debt of gratitude to the Govender family for the donation and for remembering the school in spite of the many years that had lapsed since Mr Govender’s death. Mrs Audan noted that the special gesture would inspire pupils whenever they made use of the books.
