Longest Attending Students Photos

Last week we recognised and rewarded our 5 longest attending students and their parents. This is our little way of saying thank you and showing our appreciation for their commitment in sending their children for English class with us, and supporting Horne Learning Services in the process.

Each child received a certificate of recognition along with a small reward. They will also receive a photo to mark the occasion.

Jen Yee is currently our longest attending student. He's been attending for 3 years!

The following students have all been attending our classes for more than 2 years:

Jia Yi and her dad

Jen Haw with his mum

Loyalty recognition and rewards for longest attending students

At Horne Learning Services, it's time to give back and recognise our longest attending students. Of students currently registered with us, we have one who will be marking 3 years with us this week, another who will reach 3 years next month, and 3 others who have all been coming for more than 2 years.

Loyalty certificates and rewards are at the ready!

We'll be presenting these 5 children and their parents with certificates, a little reward, and a photo to mark the occasion.

We are grateful for their parents' commitment, their presence in our classes, and are delighted to see each one of them make improvements over the years.
