Take Off to Success with the MDIS Open House 2024
Success seems hard to achieve, but it is not. Success requires a mix of hard work, grit, determination and a positive mindset to achieve a desired outcome. Whether your desired outcome is to do well at every stage of your academic career, ace a specific subject or look for sequential academic progression from a higher diploma to a degree and master’s programme, everyone’s definition of success is different. However, the take-off to success requires considerable planning and preparation.
Themed ‘Flight to Success’, the MDIS Open House 2024 will be held only on Saturday, January 13 2024. Guided school tours are available all day upon request at the counter upon arrival.
