We are exceptionally proud of inspirational Elias, a Pri 3 boy, from Holy Innocent Primary School. Mrs Chung will never forget his triumphant face when he burst into the centre announcing his results. He was ecstatic. He had never passed his English in P3. For the first time, he did. When he joined us in June, Elias was a reluctant learner who got easily frustrated with his work. Mrs Chung’s patience and determination to see the good in him changed him. He realised he was capable of good results so he put in more effort and became more on task. We need to be patient and work with the children in a positive way. Nobody likes to be told that they are lousy or a failure. We must always be on the lookout for positive good behaviour or improvement and praise the child for it. Building the child’s self esteem and working on his or her attitude is just as important as imparting knowledge. Changing a child’s attitude takes time and we are heartened that Elias’ parents were supportive of our methods and were patient with Elias’ slow improvement initially. We are so happy that Elias is a changed boy and we believe that with continued determination and diligence, Elias will accomplish great things. Keep it up Elias! We know you can do it!
