The teachers brought out the best in the children as they performed old and new songs. From Bobby Benson classics to Simi’s latest songs.
Right after COVID, the school started with a Thanksgiving having put all the COVID protocols in place from last year in strict adherence to the Lagos State government requirements.
This year ended with the graduation of the primary 6 pupils who displayed a remarkable sense of confidence and accomplishments.
Standard Bearers School is a premium school that’s dedicated to the wholesome development of the child. Bridging the gap between tech science and art, the school is intentional in harnessing every child’s unique abilities.
The founder of the school, Mrs Modupe Adeyinka-Oni, is an art graduate who has been in early childhood education for four decades cutting her teeth in the teaching under the watchful and encouraging eyes of Mrs. Sasegbon.
Mrs Sasegbon is the longest-serving principal of Corona schools.
In one of the celebration events where Shashegbon was a special guest of honour, she went down memory lane and recounted how the then-young Modupe Seriki came into the school green and fresh from youth service.
It was a very endearing recount of a proud mentor who acknowledged that her mentee, Modupe Adeyinka-Oni, the Executive Director of Standard Bearers School, had surpassed her and with a glint of pride in her eyes blessed her mentee. She was full of accolades for Adeyinka-Oni.
It’s often reported referencing various research that female bosses bring out the best in their employees.
The staff and teachers of the school are top grades in the Nigerian teaching industry/workforce. When complimented or given the opportunity to speak, they are however quick to remind the listeners that their grooming started when they stepped into Standard Bearers School.
The camaraderie between the staff and the love they have for their boss, Adeyinka-Oni is beyond infectious. It’s palpable. The love given to the children is so beautiful it’s almost tear-jerking. The children oftentimes don’t want to leave school and resort to hide and seek before their beleaguered nannies catch up with them. It’s often ended in a laugh.
The testimonial of Standard Bearers School is second to none in this clime.
The 25year old school always has its alumni visit from different parts of the world.
They find their roots and home in Standard Bearers. They are also ever so delighted to see their old and ever faithful teachers still happily doing what they love to do best which is utmost care and harnessing the best of each child.
By the end of the school year, the executive director of the school did not disappoint in her magnanimity and intentionality of team bonding and team-building actions. She rolled out a no-hold bar staff appreciation activity.
The staff was treated to an end-of-year 7-course buffet at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites.
The staff turned out in their best and revelled in the sheer pleasure of it all.
A school with a very clear focus on everything right and proper ended the year just as it started – with prayers. There was a night vigil of praise and prayer to give all glory back to Him who sits on the Throne. Bishop Omonze the Chief Commanding Officer of Christ Force International Chaplaincy presided over the prayers. Standard Bearers School is a Christian school whose ethos is well steeped in the scriptures. Building a nation. One child at a time.
