NEWSLETTER

Our Beloved Parents,

Compliments of the season! We are most grateful to Almighty God, the author and finisher of life for having brought us to the end of this term and more especially the end of the year, 2019.  We appreciate Him for His benevolence on the Trainfield family. 

To you our esteemed parents, we love and appreciate the loyalty you have reposed in us over the years. We assure you that we shall continue to serve you optimally each day for the betterment of our future leaders – our students. 

We are pleased with the unflinching commitment of our staff and their burning desire to deliver to the latter in the holistic building up of the students. 

To you our esteemed parents, we assure you that our desire to deliver on educational best practices remains ever green in our everyday activities.

 

ACADEMICS

The 2019/2020 academic session which kick started this first term was vibrant with series of academic and co-curriculum activities. The performances of our students this term was extraordinary as this is evident in their performances both in their Continuous Assessments and Examinations as well as co-curricular activities. These show commitment in our students, as they have demonstrated diligence in their studies. We implore parents not to relent in their efforts from the home front to encourage their ward(s) to study hard when they are at home. Our dear esteemed parent, be rest assured of our commitment to academic and moral excellence. 

 

EXTERNAL EXAMINATION (BECE & WAEC) FOR JSS 3 & SS 3 STUDENTS

Trainfield College recorded 100% pass in the last Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and West African Examination Council (WAEC)

This Year, our students produced outstanding results in the midst of huge educational change. We have been really impressed with the resilience and positive attitude of these students who have had to contend with the new tougher questions in English and Mathematics.

We would also like to pay tribute to our superb staff who have supported the students through all the changes and challenges.

                               

UNIFORMS

Trainfield uniform is her identity! As part of our standards and quality assurance of the school, students are expected to come into school well groomed at all times. On the strength of this, we solicit that parents make conscious effort towards procuring at least two sets of uniforms for their child(ren) at the beginning of every academic year. We enjoin parents of returning students in particular to please check the uniforms of their child(ren)/ward(s) and kindly replace faded, tattered and torn uniforms. Note that children grow at a very fast rate and outgrow their wears too. Furthermore, school shoes are covered black shoes with no heels and white canvas for sports days. The approved socks are plain white socks. Please, only pin earrings (small studded) are allowed for girls and well-kept hair cut for the boys.

 

PARENT’S FORUM WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

This term’s parents’ forum was held on the 19th day of October, 2019. The venue was the school hall. We applaud our parents who turned up for the forum. The session was revealing and interactive. Thank you for your constructive criticisms, suggestions and accepting to volunteer. We shall continue with this development so as to provide a platform for interaction amidst our Executive Director, Management and you, our esteemed parents.

Here are some salient points discussed at the forum;

1.     Introduction of new parents

2.    The PTF EXCO having served the mandatory term, was applauded for their selfless services. The EXCO was dissolved based on motions moved and seconded accordingly and in line with Trainfield Schools customs and tradition. Election was held and the following emerged as the new Trainfield PTF EXCO.

a. Pastor Odubena - Chairman

b. Mrs. Idiaghe - 1st Vice Chairman

c. Mr. Ikemefuna - 2nd Vice Chairman

d. Mr. Osadolor - PRO

e. Mr. Oma Imishue - Treasurer

f. Mr. Princewill - Secretary.

3.    Hostel facilities: Trainfield Management  mandated 2019/20 SS3 and other Parents to meet with a Catering services professional to enable them decide what each Student would pay for Hostel accommodation while taking cognisance of few logistics as the case might be.

4.    Parents were advised to key into the E- learning system by making judicious use of the modern learning facilities available in the School.

5.    Despite the poor BECE results all over Lagos State, Trainfield College recorded a great success as all the students that participated in the last BECE came out in flying colours.

OPEN DAY

First term 2019/2020 academic session open day held on the 30th day of October, 2019. We laud our parents that availed themselves the opportunity and came in to assess the performances of their wards. That singular act showed the support from the home front as the children need to know that there is support and follow-up from the home in order “to keep them on their toes”. 

 

STUDENTS & QUALITY ASSURANCE

The Trainfield bench mark still remains 70%. We assure our esteemed parents that all parameters are in place to enable us achieve the above bench mark. We enjoin every parent to keep partnering with us so as to enable us serve you better.
