Olashore International School graduated its final year students whom had undergone all necessary trainings in character and learning to become leaders in a changing world in order to fit into the dynamic global society in the 21st century. This valedictory took place at the school premises at lloko – Ijesha, Osun State recently.
The Principal rated the graduating set uniquely.
His words: “The graduating set has been outstanding in their IGSCE exams and in initiating good ideas. They’ve been very good academically. In this graduating set, we have been able to see outstanding leadership skills. Once again, the selected prefects have excelled. They took on the role of leaders in the school and developed new ideas. They initiated the Olashore School Award. The event which they planned and organized allowed students to identify role models within the school and celebrate them. This commitment to the Olashore Standard is something that has been evident not just in the prefects but across the year group. He commended the graduating students, while reiterating that each graduating set gets better than the other and that this set has done much more than expected.”
He pointed out that morals of Honesty, Service and Honour has been instilled in each student to become a better person, and to represent the school well anywhere they find themselves. “If you notice the Olashore Alumni across the world, they take up leadership positions wherever they are, because the leadership traits had been instilled in them, while also instilling morals of Honesty, Service and Honour, just like we’ve done to our present graduating set. Value runs across in the school and is encapsulated in everything we do. Olashore has always impacted leadership skills in her students; we only thought it wise to give it a structure, an academic framework and a more solid background.”
He however advised them to maintain the morals values that have been instilled in them and share with the people they meet as they begin the next stage of their lives.
On his part, the Chairman Board of Governors, Prince Abimbola Olashore, stated “The School has improved from what it used to be last year. We are always pleased to see physical improvement in our infrastructure; it shows a continuous investment in our facilities. We strengthened our staffing, employed the services of a new vice-principal, and strengthened our technology through the distribution of one on one iPads for learning starting from Year 7. The school is making a progress in a more strategic way which is important in learning outside the classroom. The evidence that we produce world class students is that they are seen as outstanding in their work places and their employers are usually proud of them. We’ve given all our students, including the graduating set, the foundation and platform to help build their confidence anywhere they find themselves. Even as they graduate, I encourage them to be confident of the education they’ve gotten from the school.”
