EXTERNAL EXAMINATIONS
We have concluded WAEC, FSLCE, BECE, NECO, FSLCE and we are all expecting good results by the special grace of God.
CONCLUSION
The school proprietress has indicated interest that she would like to have lunch with parents before the year runs out. Some gift items will be shared, raffle would be drawn too. Crucial and important issues concerning the school, the children and parents would be discussed. Parent are advised to watch out for the invite and the riffle ticket. Don’t be told what happen, come and be part of it
The world is going digital. Some external examination such as WAEC, NECO and JAMB would be conducted only online very soon. It is pertinent therefore that the school decided to groom her children before then on how to navigate through these processes. Nothing good comes easy. These children we have now at a time took time to learn how to walk. You can see them now running about with all vitality. It is also not easy to run an online examination, it is very expensive. One good laptop costs as much as N500, 000. The school has acquired over 120 laptops, shipping and maintenance is another huge expenses. There is no way the school can foot this bill. This comes from the owners had earned money
Time has come when parents should start appreciating the effort of the owner and the school generally. We have planned amongst other things to use this one month summer school to extensively teach the children computer training on the issue. Avail your children the opportunity to benefit from this program.
Yours Faithfully
