opportunities to brainstorm on various efforts that need to be made in order to improve the performance of each individual student. The exercise involves reviewing the student’s academic track record since joining the school and evaluating their needy areas while reinforcing their strong areas. The clinics are held annually.

(iv) Rewarding good performance
In the course of the term and on many other occasions, good performers are recognized and rewarded in various ways by the school while methods and encouragement are devised by the school to uplift the performance of those found to be needy.

Motivation and encouragement of students is an issue that is given a very keen interest and approached from many different angles. It is everybody’s belief in this school that every student who joins our institution has the potential to realize their dreams not only if they are
well guided but also if the smallest progress is encouraged and motivated so that the learners can have the momentum to propel them to the next
level.
As a consequence, the school strives to create a friendly and conducive environment by regularly conducting activities such as academic trips, symposiums, science congress among others so as to focus the student energies in their learning process. Closer interaction and relationship between individual students and teachers also help to make our students feel free to open up and seek assistance of whatever nature.
