For too long, our community has been separated from each other, and not being able to form connections has affected the pride of our school. What I want now is for our students to go out and say, \u2018I am proud to go to OWIS, because it is a kind, compassionate community that lifts up all of its students\u2019.\u201d<\/p><p

said that we must all work together to keep the promises we make to our stakeholders and parents, who drop off their children with us every day and hope that we will take care of them and educate them well. &#8220;We have a commitment to keep to them and that commitment stems from our guiding statements and values,&#8221; emphasised Mr Renie.<\/p><p
