Parents of pupils at the New World Emerald Private School, Dutse, Abuja, have expressed satisfaction in the school’s high standard especially its hub for technology, coding and robotics.
The parents made this known at the graduation ceremony of their children and wards on Saturday in Abuja.
Mr Sheni Oke, a parent with two wards in the school, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN), on the sideline of the event said the school had tried in managing the children.
“I was just speaking to one of the parents now and she was like, when her child joined the school, the child couldn’t even speak with the peer group.
“But today, they are here singing songs and doing choreography, I believe there is still a long way to go, the future is bright,’’ Oke said.
Mrs Maryam Momodu, another parent said she sent her wards to the school because she wanted improvement for them.
“So far, so good. I have seen improvement in them from where they were before, there’s a difference, the school is doing well,’’ she said.
Mr Segun Ayoola, a parent and construction manager said everything was unique about the school. They have different uniforms for one week, there is always something unique about the school.
“Their learning standard is high, their teachers are lovely, lovely playground and setting,’’ Ayoola said. One of the directors of the school, Miss Oluwateniola Olasanya, said the school boasts of good teachers, attributing it to why students are enrolling everyday.
Speaking further on what added value to the school, Olasanya said it was passion. “Once you have passion, a lot of things are possible and the directors and teachers have true passion for the school,” he said.
Mr Raji Akeem, Head of Faculty and Resources Religion of the school told NAN that the school teaches not just academics, but morals. He said in their certificates, it is boldly inscribed that the student is found worthy in both learning and character.
Mr Fisayo Odubela, Head of Primary and Early Years Foundation Stages of the school, in his opening remarks said a unique feature of the ceremony was that the pupils were pioneers. He said the event was the first to be held since the establishment of the Kubwa campus of New World Schools, hence the pupils from UKS2, Reception and Playgroup could be regarded as pioneers.
Master Oke Ipet’ Oluwaduro, the best graduating pupil in his set, said the school gave him a second chance.
Sharing his thoughts on what set him apart, Oluwaduro said, “I think I might have maybe concentrated a little bit harder, but apart from that, all of them are good.’’
The best graduating student whose best subjects are Mathematics and the Sciences, hopes to become an architect.
