MESSAGE FROM THE DEPUTY HEADTEACHER- ADMINISTRATION
Education is not just a process of giving knowledge for a future job but a lifelong process which creates an understanding of moral and ethical values to guide one’s life in a right path. As a parent, you want the best for your child and we are proud to be working with you to ensure that they are given the right knowledge to face the future challenges. Parents, students and the school authorities are a team and we have to complement each other effort Secondary school is an important and challenging time of transition in a child’s life as it is at this level that most of them begin to experience adolescence life and its associated problems. In a term, students stay with parents for not more than three weeks but most parents get relieved when it’s time for students to report back to school. Likewise when students go for holidays, we also get a relieve from stressful period of twelve to thirteen weeks when they are at school. This therefore calls for a concerted effort and cooperation between parents and the school administration in order to nurture them
into responsible citizens. Our programme recognises the different needs of students at this stage. At St. Josephs College Ombaci we focus on complete development of our students by involving them in both academic and co-curricular activities. I am sure this helps our children to realise, understand and explore their talents. In order to do this, the parents and the school authorities must work together to inculcate our core values in the students and these are God fearing, Team work, Transparency and accountability, Innovativeness, Professionalism, Hard work and Self reliance. “If a plant is carefully nurtured by a gardener, it will become good, and produce, better fruits”. Therefore, children must be given good training from their earliest childhood. Mr. Candia Godfrey Deputy Headteacher Admin
