Welcome to St. Maarten Academy VBC
Dear all,
I am writing to share with you a brief summary of the outstanding 2022-2023 school year at St. Maarten Academy VBC, where I am currently serving as the acting principal. Despite facing unexpected challenges throughout the year and experiencing moments of transformative growth, we remained committed to excellence and persevered through discomfort and disappointment. Our unwavering dedication has made us stronger than ever before, and I am confident that it will continue to drive our success in the future.
Looking ahead to the academic year 2023-2024, we are excited to embrace the theme of "Teamwork Always Makes the Dream Work" once again.
"Teamwork Always Makes the Dream Work."
As the saying goes, "Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results." This quote truly reflects the dedication and commitment of everyone involved in making St. Maarten Academy VBC a success.
You may wonder why this theme has been chosen again. VBC has been undergoing construction for a few months now, and while we are progressing well, we have encountered delays and obstacles along the way. However, these challenges will not deter us from working collaboratively as a team to uphold the standard of quality education and achieve high passing rates.
My primary objective is to ensure that our team remains united despite the changes brought about by the construction and the uncertainties we may face. I firmly believe that when we work together, we can accomplish so much more.
Dreams can only come true when we take action by praying and sharing them with God. Remember, faith without action is meaningless. Take this scripture verse with you to reflect on.
Proverbs 3:5-6 K.J.V.
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
​
We at St. Maarten Academy VBC are determined to work together with unwavering commitment towards achieving our shared goals and making this year an absolute triumph.
