Dear Parents

Trust you are having a good week. Please find below an overview of the activities at Vivian Fowler Memorial College for girls this past week (27thSeptember 2016 to 6th October 2016)

ACADEMICS:
In an effort to maintain a high standard of teaching and learning at the school and to also ensure that teachers are following the procedures mandated by the Ministry of education, a team of education experts were in school last week to audit our teachers and academic processes. Their reports will help us fine tune our systems to enhance the quality of teaching and learning.

SAFETY:
School Angel, our safety solutions provider, has resumed operations and all parents who are not yet registered with them are requested to do so.

EXCURSIONS:
The SS2B students visited the Area ‘F’ Police Divisional Headquarters, Ikeja to understand the hierarchical structure of the Nigerian police force and the duties of officers in different ranks. They were taken on a tour of some of the offices in the Command Headquarters, The Human Rights Division and a few prison cells.
