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.

back to school on the above date. A day off school means missing out on studies
