We are very excited to celebrate the 3rd edition of Principals’ Day. While Camlin also celebrates Children’s Day and Teacher’s Day, we took the initiative of creating Principals’ Day two years ago to recognize the crucial role that Heads of Institutions and Schools play in shaping and moulding young minds. A Principal is an administrator, educator, psychologist, motivator and thought leader of the school, however, their contribution is often not recognized, so today is the day to express our gratitude to them.”
