Around The School News – Monday 15 April 2019
DR FLAVIA SENKUBUGE
Dr Flavia Senkubuge, specialist in Public Health medicine, global public health advocate and President of the Colleges of Medicine in South Africa, addressed the learners recently.
Dr Senkubuge matriculated from Girls’ High School in 1996 and it was an honour to welcome her back to her alma mater.
Dr Senkubuge told the girls that they are the generation on whom we have pinned our hopes and dreams. She said that they are the generation who will champion other generations to become great generations.
She encouraged the girls to work hard. Success, she says, is not an onetime event. It takes discipline, it is painful, and it is lonely, but it is all worth it. She challenged the girls to do more, to be more and to write their own history.
