Ending Speech (For Both Educational and Non-educational Institutions)
Thank you, everyone. We have now come to the conclusion of the programme. I would like to thank all the parents and guardians who took the time out of their busy schedules to attend this meeting. As much as we boast of a brilliant panel of teachers and guides, we believe that having the guardians understand how we work with our students is very important.
It helps us build trust, and understand the special needs of our students (if any) and thus, helps them learn better.

I would also like to thank our teachers and staff members for helping us organise this meeting and making sure it went smoothly – Thank you!
