NEWSLETTER
DEAR HIGHLY ESTEEMED
PARENTS,
To
the glory of God Almighty, this term started and has ended well. We wish to
thank God for granting us the opportunity to start and end the term with joy
and fulfillment. The management uses this medium to appreciate all your
support, in finance, academic and sports activities. We thank you so immensely
for enrolling your beloved children in our school. We assure you we shall not
let you down in all your expectations from the school. You are assured that we
shall continue to maintain and improve on our effort at giving academic and
moral excellence to your children. The school Management hereby uses this
medium to raise the following issues:
ACADEMICS
The second term,
2020/2021 academic session kick started on the 18th day of January, 2021
and we have witnessed a lot of academic and co-curricular activities. As you
have known the school for its sound academic standard, the school always wants
to reach the apex. Students’ performances this term were wonderful as is
reflected in their Continuous Assessment. The co-curricular programmes have
been excellent as well. These show commitment in our students, as they have
demonstrated diligence in their studies. We have enhanced our teaching
methodology in terms of more practical work for students in the science
department (as there is no science without practicals), just as other
departments are well grounded academically too. By increasing our teaching
capacity in co-corricular activities, our students participated in inter-class
Spelling Bee, Quiz and Debate competitions, respectively. All to enhance their
learning ability, since education does not just start and end in the classrooms
alone. Indeed, all school clubs (academic and Uniform) are in full operation in
the school. We implore parents not to relent in their efforts from the home
front to encourage their children/ward(s) to study hard when they are at home.
Our esteemed parents, be assured of our commitment to academic and moral
excellence.
EXTRAMURAL CLASSES
In order to prepare our students
for their external examinations, we shall continue the Extramural Classes for
our students in the JSS3 and SS3. This will start as from Monday 26th of
April, 2021. Time: 9:00am – 01:00pm, Mondays through Fridays. Parents are
informed to please take note.
OPEN DAY
Open Day is always day
set aside by the school for parents to come check and assess the academic
performance and activities of their children. It is also an avenue for parents
to have a one-on-one interaction with management and teaching staffs of the
school as it correlates with the academic activities of their children. To this
effect, we want to encourage all parents to devote time for this expedient
academic exercise as it goes a long way to bringing about greater improvement
in the academic performance of a student.
STUDENTS & QUALITY
ASSURANCE
The Trainfield bench mark
still remains 100%. 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.
DISCIPLINE
We have sustained a more
disciplined atmosphere so far this term, considering the fact that over the
years, there has been significant improvement in scholars’ discipline. We
attribute this to the support of most parents who in partnership with us, inculcate
sound morals in the children. We sincerely encourage our esteemed parents to
continue with this laudable practice at home as we promise to keep counseling
and correcting them on unacceptable and unusual behahviour, thus producing
better Nigerian children.
LATENESS TO SCHOOL
We must commend the
efforts of our parents on the slight improvement we have noticed in punctuality
this term. Our expectations are high, so, we still appeal that more commitment
be made, since this forms part of our character development training for
Trainfield scholars. Resumption time is on or before 7:30am and all students
are expected to be in school latest by 7:35am daily. We appeal to parents to
please assist the school to entrench punctuality in our children.
Remember, lateness to any programme is globally taken as indiscipline.
For punctuality is the soul of every business. As a follow-up, the policy
of locking the school gate after 8:00am or requesting defaulting parents to
sign in their wards will fully be enforced. Please note that where this becomes
a routine, the parent(s) in question shall be requested to meet with the school
management team for conferencing.
SPORT DAYS
We wish to remind our esteemed parents of our sport
day; every Thursday. Students are to appear in their sports wear on this day.
BUS SERVICE
We thank our esteemed
parents who make use of our bus shuttle. We appeal to all our parents
whose children use the bus service to please make payment before the resumption
of any term so as to enable us have adequate preparation for a smooth take off
of the term. Note that students who do not pay by resumption shall not
be picked or returned. We are thanking you for your prompt response. To assist
us serve you better, parents are encouraged to always counsel their wards on
best behaviours during bus shuttle. Parents should always make ready their
wards before the arrival of the bus as a minute extra spent in one house
definitely distorts the routine of that particular bus. We are appealing to parents
who do not use the bus service to always pick up their wards immediately the
school closes. We observed that some parents still pick up their ward(s) late
after school hours. This is not healthy for our scholars. We also use this
medium to appeal to parents not to allow minors to drive their ward(s) to
school.
DISRUPTION OF CLASSES BY
PARENTS
In line with our school’s
policy, no parent is allowed into the class unless on special occasion as maybe
permitted by the school authority. Parents are therefore advised to ensure
scholars come to school with their lunch packs. Please, help us to serve you
better. We wish to notify our esteemed parents to always sit in the school hall
as they come for pick-up of their ward(s) at closing hours. We assure you that
our staff shall always be on the alert to attend to you.
PROMT PAYMENT OF SCHOOL
FEES
To achieve continuous and
improved academic excellence, the school needs a lot of fund, of which the main
source is the school fees of our students. To this effect, parents are implored
to pay the school fees as promptly as possible. The school management requests
that our parents pay the school fees before the new term begins or at least the
first day of resumption. This goes a long way to help the school plan and put
all necessary things in place for our dear students. It should be paid into the
school’s bank account and the teller of payment promptly brought to school as
evidence of payment. We wish to remind you that in line with the CBN cashless
policy, the management of Trainfield schools once again wishes to inform you
that the payment of fees can be done through the following ways:
a) Funds transfer
b) direct instant platform
via individual banks
Parents should please
ensure that the names of the child(ren) and their class(es) are clearly written
for easy identification.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
There is no doubt that
there are security challenges in the country now. The school is trying its best
to leave up to expectation. Hence, the re-installation of CCTV cameras in and
around the school premises. In as much as we don’t pray for any negative ordeal,
we all need to be security conscious. Therefore, are advised to be security
conscious while students are coming and leaving the school and also while at
home. For instance, those that are conveyed to and from school with motorcycle
(okada) should be monitored properly by parents. As part of the mechanism put
in place by the school, all students are expected to sign in and out on the
general students’ attendance book, daily. The school gate would be locked
immediately after the morning assembly but open to parents/visitors who may
have one or two things to do in the school.
ATTENDANCE TO PTMF MEETING
Considering the
importance of Parents Teachers and Management forum towards the continuous
progress, growth and development of our children/students, the school
management implores parents to always find time to attend the meeting. The
meeting comes up once in a term (with notice).
OPEN DAY
Open Day is a day set
aside by the school to come check and assess the academic activities of their
children. It is also a special day for parents to have a one-on-one interaction
with management and teaching staff of the school as it correlates with the
academic performance of their children. To this effect, we want to encourage
all parents to devote time for this expedient academic exercise, as it goes a
long way to bringing about greater improvement in the academic performance of a
student.

THIRD TERM RESUMPTION
Third term 2020/2021 academic
session resumes on the 4th of May, 2021. Parents are to please take note
and ensure that their ward(s) are back to school on the above date. A day off
