When Bripet Private School, a private school located in the heart of Mushin, Lagos was established, little did the owners realise that the mustard seed planted a few years ago, will today become an oak of academic excellence.
Today, the school has finally made a statement in the education sphere of Lagos, as it has without doubt, grown from leaps and bounds showing its good and tough stuff.
The purpose-built and structurally-attractive school, has not only become a private school to be reckoned and aligned with, but Bripet Private School has kept the tempo of functional learning unshaken, as it has kept giving steam to the energy of effective teaching, watered the interest of parents and sustained the love of learners for the school all-round the years since its inception.
The school has distinguished itself from the pool of other schools in its commitment in providing qualitative education by its crave for qualified, experienced, caring and seasoned teachers, as well as in terms of teacher stability and turnover.
The success recorded by the school in the few years of existence are also traceable to the recruitment procedure and process adopted by the school that resulted in proper remuneration and adequate welfare of the teachers.
Apart from driven by passion, ethics, knowledge and innovation and that attracted the entire people, especially parents in Mushin, Ilupeju, Odi olowo, Palmgrove, Onipanu, Fadeyi, igbobi and Oshodi areas of Lagos to this young but, dynamic school, the school’s structures are attractive, architecturally pleasing and educationally-promoting.
Consequently, the classrooms are superb and very roomy, thus making learning simple and excitingly interesting, while the play areas are well protected and inviting to pupils without leading to distractions from learning in the classrooms.
To ensure safety of the students, teachers, and adequate security of the school there are CCTV cameras installed in the compound to monitor pupils, teachers and intruders as well as the safety of all.
With the school’s array of sporting activities for all-round development and training of the children, the management also ensures that the playground is harm-free with personnel on ground to manage and safeguard the students.
Established by Dr Peter Enoma, an astute educator and Mrs Bridget Enoma, a well-trained and seasoned educator, their passion and experience have contributed in no small measure to the ever-growing image and success of the school.
Besides, Mrs Enoma, a Head of School at different schools over the years, has also helped and contributed to the stability and academic growth recorded at Bripet Private School, whose watch-word has always been “that what is worth doing, is worth doing well.”
As a top-notch secondary school, the deployment of technology in the teaching and learning process has ensured that learning takes place in a way the 21st century child wants to learn. What also distinguished the school, according to the owners, is the composition of the Governing Board/Council, which comprises personalities from the academia, especially Federal Colleges of Education, a development that has helped and assisted in the unhindered growth of the school.
Despite the presence of technology, the management has tactically structured the tool so that it has not been allowed to take away the physical presence of teachers and adults that are needed to help children with moral and behaviour growth.
Meanwhile, Prof Owolabi HY of Prof Owolabi Corner, who visited the school to study the different trainings, workshops and seminars presented to teachers and staff for professional and personal development, described such capacity training as daunting and huge in comparison to what most schools do today.
Founded by Christians, Bripet Private School accommodates children of all faiths and races, as the owners have kept their faith personal while the moral conduct and discipline tone are being used to promote growth in the child. In the areas of academic performance, the school has continued to record excellent performance over the years in National Common Entrance, State and Model examinations.
According to some parents, who spoke with Prof Owolabi’s Corner, they chose to enroll their children into Bripet Private School for the simple fact that most pupils after being enrolled became readers and lovers of books, and developing great interest at reading and activities connected with learning and academics.
“Most parents will be quick to tell you the unlimited yearning for creativity, technology and crafts no sooner than the pupils got enrolled into the school,” it said.
Bripet Private School, which secured the approval of the Lagos State Ministry of Education in no time of meeting all the prerequisites and requirements to operate as “An Approved School” by the ministry, is set to hold its valedictory/prize-giving and graduation on July, 24, 2024 on the school premises.
Prof Owolabi HY of Prof Owolabi’s Corner on New Telegraph Newspaper further confirmed that Bripet Private School is a British-based school model, in which children always resume early and never want to leave.
“In this vicinity, it will be difficult to find such a school with so much knowledge of children, learning and caring, and so, we are recommending Bripet Private School to all who say I love my child and wish a good and quality education for him or her,” he stated.
