Events of the term
10th Biennial Inter-house Sport Festival competition 2020
We appreciate everyone’s impact during the 10th inter house sport competition which took place at Command sport ground on the 19th of February, 2020. There were lots of events during the competition while the newly introduced ones are chess, badminton and long jump. All the houses put in their best with a result of Red house (1st), Blue house (2nd) and Yellow house (3rd). It was a great and remarkable event in which we enjoyed the participation of our parents through their presence, cash and kind.
PTIF:- On the 8th of February 2020, the PTIF was held in the school hall and some of the cogent issues discussed are :- care for the sick children, hair style/dressing, result feed-back form, project/assignment, SS3 excursion, uploading of news-letter (only)etc. Mr & Mrs Okoye from ‘Teen Activate’ held a seminar on ‘Parenting’. The discussion was that parents should monitor the children on social media, inspect the site they visit, give a listening ear to them, answer their questions, teach them sex-education, create time for them, mind what is installed/ downloaded on social devices etc. We are in the jet age; parenting from knowledge differs from parenting from experience, so we need to have a study on parenting.
LEADERSHIP SUMMIT:- On the 7th of March, the SS3 students went for the annual SMI summit in UNILAG. Officials from different examination bodies and experienced teachers in core subjects were there to give the students an exposure on how to write and pass external examination easily. The students had the opportunity to ask questions after the seminar.
