The campus principal, Madame Matrona Mavrakis extended a warm welcome to the singer.
Followed by grade 5 students singing Mr. Dalaras hit song : “The mother of Alexander the Great”.

The singer then took to the podium and with a lot of humility and tears in his eyes he thanked the crowd and took a special moment to underline the importance off the work done by the school staff. He mentioned the importance of education and added: “You are lucky to be receiving a trilingual education. I did not get that chance”.
