Conslusion
Effingham Secondary, in keeping with its Vision and Mission Statement, is committed to a culture of learning and teaching. Like many public schools in our beloved country, it has of late become susceptible to the changes in learner conduct. This has become something of a challenge for the school. But it is a challenge that we shall rise to meet.
