Note: Children will be explained how to use the peace table in their classes during the Citizenship period, so that they can come up with their own initiatives when necessary. This concept was introduced in 2011 and it has been very effective. Present class teachers of year 3 and 4 are invited to implement this valuable concept in their respective classes.
