“The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word, ‘crisis’. One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger – but recognise the opportunity.
“With the ongoing global pandemic, 2021 proved to be yet another trying and demanding year. But here at Crawford North Coast, we recognise that exceptional times call for exceptional people. A task was set – to succeed amidst struggle.
“Our matrics heeded the call, rallied to the cause, met the challenge, and were not found wanting. To our teachers and parents, thank you for your dedicated support and to our matric class of 2021, our Crawford champions, we salute you and your achievements.”
