Graduands of Fastrack Group of Schools, Festac, during the 2024 graduation and prize-giving day, share exciting moments as they reminisce on their stay in the school.

Aside from graduands in Basic five, pupils in Foundation and Nursery two classes graduated into two classes.

The event which saw the children all colourful dressed, had them display several presentations in English, local dialects, and in French language. There were also activities such as ballet, choreography, poem recitation, cultural dance, and solo presentation, among others.

In her address, Fastrack, Group Director, Mrs. Adesuwa Obaseki, boasted that children of the school are poised to be great assets wherever they find themselves.

“As an educational community, we continue to pride ourselves as leaders and this energy is geared towards making sure that our students excel without compromise Just a couple of days ago, one of our ex-students who is in a highly revered university sent in her results which were all A’s with a G.Pof 5.00 (First Class) Tam still celebrating this feat. So many other accounts from within and outside the country, I could go on and on, but I choose to stop here. Our assurance is to keep rendering a very qualitative and uncompromising service.

“Dear graduands, our leaders of tomorrow whom the world has been waiting for, it is time for you to go out and exhibit the great potential you have in you. It is my sincere prayer that all the social and academic values we have instilled in you will reflect in your future endeavours. I say with great conviction that anywhere you find yourselves you will be a great asset to your parents and larger society. Remember that hard work is ALWAYS rewarded with success. And a winner takes it all. You must always win.”

Meanwhile, a graduand, Orie David Chiemezuo, expressed his joy in growth in the school: “Wow! Eight years have gone by so fast. I say a big thank you to Mr. Alfred, Miss. Dayo and Mr John. I have spent memorable years in FastTrack schools. I have been moulded to become a better person. I have served in various capacities in the school which gave me a new perspective on learning. I am grateful to all who made this possible and to that, I say Long live Fastrack.”

Another graduand, Unanka Lydia Chinechem noted: “I remembered how it all started when I was a little girl in Kindergarten. Now, I am moving on to greater heights. I shall cherish the changes that have occurred in my life academically. Also, the extracurricular activities such as the cultural day where we showcase our diverse ethnic background and traditions. I must say I am better off now with these experiences Fastrack has given to me. I say thank you. “
