END OF FIRST TERM & BEGINNING OF SECOND TERM MAY UPDATE MESSAGE
Scripture:
“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9
Dear Partners, Parents, Guardians, Teachers, Non-Teaching Staff, Children, and the Wider Community,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
We sincerely thank God for bringing us to the end of the first term and granting us grace as we step into the beginning of the second term. This is a moment of reflection, gratitude, and renewed vision for the work God has entrusted into our hands in shaping lives through education and holistic development.
We extend heartfelt appreciation to all our partners and supporters who continue to stand with us in prayer, encouragement, and material support. Your commitment has been instrumental in sustaining the school programs and ensuring that many children continue to access education in a nurturing Christian environment.
1. Academic Progress and Performance
During the first term, we witnessed steady academic progress among our learners. Teachers worked diligently to ensure that lessons were delivered effectively, and many children demonstrated improvement in reading, writing, numeracy, and overall understanding of key subjects. Although some learners are still catching up due to different learning backgrounds, the general academic direction is positive and encouraging.
We are committed to strengthening remedial support, improving lesson planning, and enhancing continuous assessment to ensure that no child is left behind as we move into the second term.
2. School Activities and Holistic Development
Beyond academics, learners participated in co-curricular activities such as music, sports, Bible study sessions, class discussions, and group work. These activities have helped to build confidence, discipline, teamwork, and spiritual growth among the children.
We believe education must develop the whole child—spirit, mind, and body—and we remain committed to integrating faith and learning in all school programs.
3. Teachers and Non-Teaching Staff
We appreciate our dedicated teachers and non-teaching staff who have served faithfully despite challenges. Their sacrifice, patience, and commitment have kept the school functioning and growing.
However, there is need for continued capacity building, motivation, and support to improve efficiency, teaching quality, and staff welfare. A strengthened and well-supported staff directly leads to improved learner outcomes.
4. Challenges Faced
We acknowledge several challenges experienced during the term:
Limited classroom space affecting learning comfort
Incomplete school infrastructure (unfinished buildings)
Insufficient learning materials and resources
Financial constraints affecting operations and staff support
Need for more consistent sponsorship for vulnerable children
Lack of adequate accommodation facilities for both teachers and learners
These challenges have affected smooth operations, but we remain hopeful and committed to progress.
5. Recommendations and Future Focus
As we begin the second term, we recommend the following priority areas:
Strengthening academic support programs, especially for slow learners
Increasing teacher training and mentorship initiatives
Improving discipline and learner attendance
Expanding sponsorship programs for vulnerable children
Strengthening parent and community engagement
Prioritizing infrastructure development and completion of existing projects
6. Request for Support and Development Projects
We humbly appeal to all partners, well-wishers, and stakeholders for continued and increased support in the following key development areas:
Sponsorship of More Children
Many children are still in need of financial assistance to access quality education. We invite partners to join us in sponsoring more learners so that no child is left behind due to financial limitations.
Completion of Current Three School Buildings
We are currently working on three buildings that require completion to create a more conducive learning environment. Completing these structures will significantly improve classroom space and learning conditions.
Construction of Additional Facilities
We urgently need the following structures to support effective school operations:
Teachers’ residential house to support staff welfare and stability
Dormitory facilities for children to ensure safe and structured accommodation
Administration block consisting of four functional rooms for office operations, records, meetings, and coordination
These developments are crucial for creating a stable, organized, and inspiring learning environment for both staff and learners.
Conclusion and Encouragement
As we move into the second term, we remain committed to excellence, discipline, spiritual growth, and academic improvement. We believe that with unity, prayer, and partnership, God will continue to expand this work for His glory.
We encourage all stakeholders to remain steadfast and hopeful; knowing that every effort invested in a child’s education is a seed for a better future and a stronger community.
May the Lord bless you abundantly for your continued support, sacrifice, and love toward this vision.
“Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16
