CHRISTMAS NEWS BULLETIN
To
all parents/guardians,
Greetings
On
behalf of the members of the board of Governors, His Eminence,
Anthony Cardinal Okogie, Archbishop Felix Job, Bishop Albert
Fashina and Bishop Alfred Martins, l wish you all a Grace
filled Christmas celebration.
Academics
The
term has come to an end and so we are happy to send them back
to you for a while, we hope they don’t give you too
much headache during this festive season. We are still using
panadol for the ones they gave us.
We
have been working tirelessly to make sure we give you good
results for your efforts on your children, some of them have
improved and some want to improve but they lack the skill
to improve. For this reason, we have taken some steps to help
them reach their goal in academic excellence, the steps are:
-
A compulsory workshop on “Study skills” organized
by some lecturers from the Institute of Education, University
of Ibadan, coming up on the 19th and 20th of January.
IT IS MANDATORY FOR ALL SEMINARIANS. TO THIS EFFECT,
ALL SEMINARIANS MUST RESUME ON THE 16TH OF JANUARY.
The cost per head is N750.
- The
30% for the continuous Assessment is going to be shared
out into three parts. From resumption in January, the
first test will be conducted on the first week of resumption
to check their level of seriousness during the holiday,
that will be 10% of the 30%. Another 10% will go into
various class assignments and the remaining 10% will go
into the real mid-term continuous assessment. So Parents
and guardians, the onus is on you to make sure they study
during the holidays.
- For
those in senior classes, it is compulsory that they pass
the following subjects before they can be considered for
promotion: English, Mathematics, Latin and Christian Religious
Studies.
- The
pass mark is no more 50%, from next term , it will be
60%. In other words, 59.5% is not a pass mark anymore.
Music
Starting from next term we are re-introducing music to the
curriculum of the Seminary. This will hopefully improve our
singing to this effect, all seminarians are requested to resume
with the following item,
-
Music for schools, book 1 (depending on his class, book
2 for those in Jss 2 etc ). By E.A. Inanga
-
Music Manuscript
-
Descant recorder
Christmas
Cards
Our
Christmas cards are out on sale, please patronize us.
Resumption
All
SSS 3 seminarians will resume on Sunday the 9th of January,
2005, while the remaining seminarians will resume on the 16th
of January. This is because of some repairs we have to undertake.
While
we look forward to seeing them back in January, we wish you
God’s protection always.
Rev.
Fr. Lawrence Nwachukwu
