eligibility for admission with the least scoring student had

expectation, she seize the moment to appreciate everyone –staff ,
corpers, volunteer teachers, NGO’s, groups and bodies that have
contributed to the success recorded in the examination and in the
welfare of the student and support to the institution. The students

relent in their strive to be better as their examination success is
an initial step towards a brighter future and its only hard work,
persistent and other good virtues they learnt while in the
institution will see them through achieving their desired goals in
life. She also uses the opportunity to speak to some parents and
guardians present on their roles as parent and what they need to do
to sustain their wards steady positive progress path.
