cooperation throughout the term, as we jointly work together to guide our pupils in attaining enviable academic and
moral heights.

One of the key achievements this term in terms of the quality of
education our pupils were
exposed to was an increase
in the use of our audio/visual
instructional materials and
E-learning.

endeavour to pay their wards’ fees

the
seminars/trainings our teachers attended in the course of the
term to make the teaching and learning process more fun and
effective. Little wonder our Nursery pupils are gradually
becoming more sociable and willing to learn.
Note: We appeal to parents whose children are in Crèche, Preschool and Reception classes to include spare clothes, diapers,
wipes, meals, bibs and napkins in their children's bags to be
used as the need arises.
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
To ensure our pupils enjoy balanced education, we engaged
them in healthy recreational activities through the
combination of core and co-curricular activities. In the course
of the term, our pupils were
actively involved in different
sporting activities to build their
physical fitness and mental
alertness.
CLUB ACTIVITIES

educative activities for all clubs as they engaged in different
weekly activities and presentations; the music club members

personal development, like beads and aprons making, while
the annual Press Week by the Press Club provided a fitting

FIELD TRIPS
MEALS
In our quest for our pupils to further
acquire knowledge beyond the walls of
the classrooms, they were taken on
field trips to various places of interest, in
consonance with their scheme, classes
and ages. Prominent amongst these
places are Cocoa Research Institute of
Nigeria and
Federal Road
Safety Corps.
Kindly ensure that your child's lunch pack and bottles are
properly washed before filling them with food and water. Also
note that food baskets are allowed in the school. Meals should
be packed separately from books in order to
protect the books from being soiled and kindly
ensure that packed meals are freshly cooked.
MORALS
We are focused on the task of building a total child, who will be
academically sound as well as courteous and disciplined. This
has informed the continuous process of instilling rules of
etiquette and discipline on school assembly and in classes. The
