To this end, the School Authorities shall, after exhausting all possible measures, suspend any student found indulging in this ugly habit from the Academy.

BULLYING IN THE SCHOOL Bullying in schools has been seen as detrimental to effective teaching and learning. The school frowns at this act in any guise and hereby advises scholars to desist from this act, as the School Authorities will not take it kindly with anyone who indulges or takes pleasure in any anti-social behaviours.

PROSPECTS FOR SECOND TERMIn line with our Mission and Vision to raise World Class Citizens and Leaders, we are proud to let you know that our teaching staff have grown more confident and acquired more competence in discharging their classroom duties efficiently and effectively. This is occasioned by deliberate investment in modern ICT facilities such as ULesson Smart Board, Projectors, CCTV at all classrooms, laboratories and halls, employment of highly qualified Coding and Decoding STEM Instructors, various entrepreneurial trainings and re-trainings of our staff through organised workshops and seminars within and outside the school. We then make bold to say that we are unrelentedly dedicated and eminently qualified to giving your child/ward the very best. We are confidently restful in our capabilities to surpass the rubicon and spectacularly capable of achieving concrete progress and strategic success even as we begin the new term.We therefore use this time and space to reassure you that we will not rest on our oars nor bite the dust in giving your child/ward the very best as they move into the new term. In finding our way forward therefore, it shall continue to be our fundamental objective to take deliberate and prudent steps towards broadening our scholars' horizon and making them soar far above their peers when they eventually step outside this space into the larger society. Finally, without any iota of doubt, we are sure of starting the third term of the 2024/2025 academic session on a promising note. We have no doubt in our capabilities in achieving our set targets mapped out for the new term. We envisage more productive outcomes for all our activities and we will not shy away from soliciting for your cooperation in achieving these targets, when the need arises. We therefore keep our fingers crossed as we hope to get the needed support and collaboration from you.We wish you and our scholars, or pride and joy, a restful holiday. We are always eager to receive them into our loving embrace when they resume for the new term.

Do have a splendid Easter celebration!
