NEWSLETTER
FOR FIRST TERM 2020/2021 SESSION
First, I thank Almighty God who in his infinite mercy, made
us stay safe from the dreaded covid-19 Tsunami which swept across the globe
and, vampire like, sucked the blood of millions of people thus sending them to
their early graves. For this and many more, we are grateful to God.
APPRECIATION
We the management, staff and students of Lagooz Schools
jointly appreciate you, our able and esteemed parents/guardians, who did not
abandon us during those trying and uncertain periods of the pandemic. Your
understanding, contributions and quick financial and other responses motivated
us and sustained our confidence, especially during the VLC teaching periods.
You gave us the hope that we really needed to keep the academic process going.
Again, when schools finally resumed, you made us proud by retaining us as the
best choice for your children’s academic and moral upbringing. Bringing your children back to Lagooz in
spite of apprehensions in the public domain concerning the virus gave us the
support to kick start the first term 2020/21. God will reward you abundantly.
PAYMENT OF SCHOOL FEE.
Regarding your response to payment of school fees, we are
also grateful to you. Although the pandemic hit very hard on the economy, and
had grave nauseating consequences on the income of individuals, you still made
provision for payment of school fees.
We appreciate you
immensely and pray that God will enlarge your financial coasts. However, if you
still have outstanding payments you agreed with the school authorities by way
of promise, we expect that you comply accordingly. For payment of fees next
term, make the payment ON or BEFORE resumption in January 2021, according to
our policy.
SSCE/NECO EXAMINATIONS
Prior to the two examinations, SSCE/NECO, the UTME (JAMB)
had been completed and the result published. This was before the global
pandemic. A Lagooz student, Omeche Tochukwu, scored 307 out of 400 marks. Many others scored
qualifying marks, very close to his.
Again, in the SSCE result, the students performed creditably
even when the fear of the pandemic was everywhere during the examination .NECO
has just been concluded, and we expect an excellent outcome as usual.
THE VLC
You would have realized by now that, as a matter of policy,
we have infused VLC into our curriculum. Since we have integrated it into our
learning system, we encourage parents/guardians to provide smartphones for the
learners and encourage them to participate in the VLC classes. It is a new
normal and has become the order of the day in many countries of the world.
BOARDING FACILITY
The school hostels offer the boarding students a better
opportunity to run away from time-consuming distractions at home, and
concentrate on their studies. Also, they are alienated from the hustle and
bustle of Lagos metropolis and streets which attract attention and eat up time.
There are separate hostels for boys and the girls, and they
are well –equipped and wholesome. They are fed with sumptuous African
delicacies. In addition, there are resident hostel personnel employed to supervise
the day-to-day activities of the students in the various hostels. Resident
nurses and visiting doctors take care of their health. In fact, it is an
opportunity you should provide for your child.
Please contact the school principal for more information on
this.
SCHOOL UNIFORMS AND TEXTBOOKS
The school frowns at a situation where students/pupils wear
worn out, torn or tight school uniforms to school. It is an eyesore for a
student/pupil to appear drab and in an unauthorized uniform within the school
premises. Therefore, parents are encouraged to ensure that their children
appear resplendent in their uniform by purchasing new uniforms from the school.
Most importantly, some students do not have the recommended
textbooks. This makes it difficult for such students to revise at home or do
their homework. Parents should, as a matter of urgency, buy textbooks for their
children. Textbooks will be inspected next term.
SEND-FORTH/VALEDICTORY SERVICE
The valedictory service/send-forth of the students of 2019/2020
session has just been concluded. We appreciate all of you who honored that
annual celebration and also contributed to its success. Second term resumes on
11th January, 2021. I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
