Principal's Message
As the principal of Moratu maha vidyalaya, I am delighted that the school's values
align with my own personal values, including the importance of trust, respect,
innovation and a sense of community.
I know that the development of the school over the past few years has been significant
The future will build on these firm foundations focusing on the quality of school life,
especially for the benefit of our learners.
High standards and expectations for each student in regard to academic performance, co-curricular participation,
and responsible citizenship are the foundation of our school.
It is with pride that we hold these high standards and ask each of our students
to commit to maintaining the extraordinary record of achievement and contribution
that has been the legacy of Moralians.
