De-New Goshen Creative Schools, Kwale, in Ndokwa West Local Government Area, Delta State, hosted a spectacular graduation ceremony on Friday, marking a significant milestone in its journey of educational excellence and holistic development.
The event which took place in the school premises featured a series of vibrant activities, including a colorful procession by the graduating students, a match pass, and captivating performances by pupils from the pre-nursery and nursery classes.
The atmosphere was festive, filled with joy and admiration as students, staff, parents, and dignitaries came together to celebrate the achievements of the academic year.
One of the highlights of the ceremony was a compelling drama presentation by the secondary school students. The play, themed around integrity and civic responsibility, emphasized the importance of returning lost items to their rightful owners which reinforced the school’s commitment to moral instruction alongside academic learning.
Awards and gifts were presented to outstanding students, teachers, and pupils who distinguished themselves in various areas including academics, discipline, and character.
Testimonials from parents and guardians also took center stage, with many expressing satisfaction with the school’s positive impact on their children’s academic and moral development.
Speaking at the event, the Chairman of the occasion, Pastor Moses Egole, commended the school’s management for their dedication and consistency in nurturing young minds.
He emphasized the collaborative role of parents and teachers in the upbringing of children, urging parents to actively participate in their wards’ academic progress.
“I want to thank the school authority for giving me the opportunity to be here. The Bible says to train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” Pastor Egole remarked.
“Education is one of the key pillars in that training. De-New Goshen Creative Schools is not just focused on academics, but also on character and social development.”
He also encouraged parents to maintain open, respectful communication with teachers and to take greater interest in their children’s homework and classwork as a way of fostering better learning outcomes.
In his address, the Proprietor of De-New Goshen Creative Schools, Hon. Odili Ogochukwu Stanley, expressed gratitude to the parents for their unwavering support and reaffirmed the school’s commitment to quality education.
“We started very small in 2016, but today we are growing, not by our strength or wisdom, but by the grace of God and the partnership of dedicated parents who believe in our vision.
“This year marks a historic moment for us as we graduate our first set of SS3 students; a proof that our journey of growth and excellence continues,” he stated.
Hon. Odili praised the integrity and preparedness of the graduating students, noting that some were recognized during external examinations as exemplary candidates others looked up to, saying “This shows we are not just raising scholars, but role models.”
He further encouraged parents to take advantage of the ongoing admission window, assuring them of the school’s readiness to deliver effective classroom instruction, moral guidance, and a nurturing environment for holistic development.
The ceremony ended on a high note with blessings, photo sessions, and renewed commitments to strengthening the school’s mission of raising well-rounded future leaders.
