Best of luck as you prepare to complete your A's!
I am cheered to see that from your promo results, you all are making progress. It is a certainty though that there is still room for improvement (as I didn't see any straight As) and I wish you all the very best. Remember that you are the very best, according to the high standards you set for yourself.
I hope that you all live up to your own expectations of what you want for your life. The greatest victory at this time of reckoning is simple - gain mastery over yourself.
Don't let yourself down - be the best that you can be. Your life deserves nothing less.
Sincerely,
Mr. Tan @ King's
Good Luck for A Levels!!
