is a vibrant Parents Teacher Association (PTA). The PTA has a working constitution. Elections
are held once a year at the beginning of a session. All levies are paid through PTA account

PTA meetings are held once a term. Such meetings serve as forum for parents and guardians to
reach an understanding on issues of mutual benefits to the children and the schools. Apart

friends on his or her birthday.

PUBLICATIONS
Each school publishes a yearbook at the end of every session. It features the effort of the
pupils at expressing their thoughts, ideas and creativity. Even though supplements are provided

Pupil’s parents/ guardians are expected to monitor them to ensure that they do their daily

text books are brought to school on the day the subjects are taught.
Long term and short term projects are given to the children. These are meant to excite their
creativity and encourage research. Parents are enjoined to give every support.

DISCIPLINE
We believe that good behavior is essential if children are to learn well, make good progress
and make the most of the opportunities we can offer. We also believe that children should know
right from wrong and that good behaviour once established is likely to last a lifetime.
Therefore appropriate corrective measures can administered as the school deems fit in cases of wrongdoing.
