New Principal, Corona School Agbara, Mrs Adeyoyin Adesina has tasked educationists to deliver quality education to students in order to guarantee national development and pride in the comity of nations.
Mrs. Adesina who spoke at the graduation of 74 students of the school said: “I am sure that the best thing we can do for our nation is ensuring that those who are the leaders of tomorrow have the qualities needed to develop our nation and to make our country stand up in the league of nations.”
According to her, the advice “is not just for the students but for all of us who are educators in Nigeria to ensure that we build up our educational system such that whether abroad or here and whatever school our children go, they should be given quality education to be able to take their place in today’s world.”
She, however, assured all on sustaining the culture of quality and excellence the school has adopted over time on assumption of office in September. “Parents and students should expect a higher commitment.
”There is no doubt about it we have heard what has been done in the past four years so I hope to continue to build on that and also continue to expand the culture of excellence in the school.”
Earlier, the Director, Corona Agbara, Mrs. Folashade Adefisayo, in her welcome address, appreciated the graduating students for working hard at finishing well.
“The world you are going into is a wonderful one, the opportunities before you are virtually limitless, no one, however, should promise you a stress-free and trouble-free life. The ups and downs of life are good, they are necessary for you to be successful and you must face life with all its bruises and warts. This can be confusing at times but if you work on your core, your being, your essence, your passion, you will find your path in life and excel at whatever you do.” Also speaking on the theme, Mrs. Ndidi Nwuneli, Founder/Director, LEAP, centered around six sub-themes that are indispensable to students. They are potentials, responsibility, opportunities, mission, integrity, service, and excellence.
She said, “My promise to you today is to fulfill your potential; you have to walk up to your responsibilities and take advantage of opportunities that come your way. She added, ”Strive to discover and fulfill your life mission, live a life of integrity and service, and commit to excellence in everything you do.
