His Excellency the Governor’s Christmas Message
Over the last few weeks, I have welcomed to the Convent pupils from many of our schools, who have come here to record a programme of carols which will be televised this evening and tomorrow. Since arriving here 18 months ago, I have endeavoured to visit as many schools and colleges as possible. I have done so to allow me to thank the teachers who have been amazing in adapting their teaching methods during an incredibly difficult period, to ensure the best possible education for their pupils, and so that I can meet those younger members of our community. What a pleasure it is to meet them all. Our younger ones stand out for their resilience, their self-confidence and their love of learning. Whether on the sports pitch, on the stage, as part of a band or orchestra, a choir or any other association, young Gibraltarians demonstrate the dynamism and adaptability that is part of the enduring and wonderful culture of our community. And they do so, not isolated from the wider world but fully understanding the global challenges that we all face today.
