UNITY IN DIVERSITY

Entering the walls of Ronik Comprehensive School, what greets you is its quiet and unruffled environment. You can hear the silence. It welcomes you as you make your way through the walkways and hallways. Classes are in session, but you can’t really tell unless you came close enough to the classroom blocks. Only then would you witness the quality of education we received within those walls. [...]

YOU NEED ME TO FEEL GOOD

This is why I say, I think you need me to feel good. - [...]
