The 2018 grad­u­at­ing class of the San­gre Grande Hin­du School has been ad­vised by the prin­ci­pal Shar­main Ma­haraj to re­main fo­cused as they em­bark on a new chap­ter in their lives. Ma­haraj, de­liv­er­ing an ad­dress at the school on June 8, told them they are go­ing to be con­front­ed by nu­mer­ous and var­ied chal­lenges, but re­mind­ed them to ap­ply the pos­i­tives that they have learnt.

She said to­day we live in an era of tech­nol­o­gy which is im­pact­ing sig­nif­i­cant­ly on their lives and which can be used to sup­port their stud­ies. How­ev­er, she said in to­day’s so­ci­ety es­pe­cial­ly among teenagers it is be­ing abused. Ma­haraj cau­tioned stu­dents to be wary about what they post on so­cial me­dia, it can­not be erased. "Every word , every pho­to, every video can be as­sessed across the world." She told them ob­scen­i­ties and neg­a­tive post­ings can scar them.
