This book is in memory of a beloved member of our DESS family. Ms Catherine Francis, a teacher who  worked at DESS since 2004, who dedicated her life to education and was a cherished teacher at our school.

This is a gesture to Catherine’s family from the DESS community, as a way of expressing our love and gratitude for the dedication, devotion and kindness she showed us throughout the years she spent at DESS.

Catherine’s legacy shall be her passion and commitment to her students and she will forever be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to have her as their teacher. The impact she had on their lives will continue to shape their futures. Catherine was someone who always worked incredibly hard with everything she did, encouraging her students through her boundless energy and enthusiasm. She was an absolute inspiration to both her colleagues and her students. We are truly grateful to have had this remarkable lady as part of our DESS community and her memory will remain at DESS always.

We forever hold in our hearts our colleague, teacher and friend, Ms Francis.
