Joyce said the school must keep doing the best it can. She thanked her colleagues and the learners for the opportunity she had with them.
“Thank you to the principal, I know sometimes I gave him hard times but he tolerated me. Everyone here has a special place in my heart. I believe in life you always start again and again, with me retiring I will be starting again a new life out of school. Thank you,” she said.
The school choir sang for her, there were speeches from the teachers and the head leaders. The head boy, Mercalyn Gounder, and head girl, Bianca Odion, gave her a trophy to thank her and wished her well on her retirement.
