Finally some good news

As a continuation of the spirit of the Symposium Well-being: The Future of Education, The Future of Humanity, organized at Trafalgar School for Girls, Principal Kathy Nikidis continues the discussion beyond our future physical space, into our future psyche, about how we share an obligation to seek collective, societal, well-being, above and beyond the individual.
