Mr. Babajide Familusi, the PTA Chairman, emphasized the pivotal role of the home in a child's educational journey. He urged parents to actively engage in nurturing their children's mental resilience and fortitude. "Mental health is a major challenge, but we need to build their resilience and ensure that they engage in sportng activities, such as learning how to swim tactically and participating in competitions periodically." 

At the heart of the program lies a philosophy dedicated to striking a harmonious balance between academic rigor and leisure. "It is about creating a balance. Because we are trying to develop wholesome children, it is important for everyone, including parents and teachers, to come together after intense sessions, to relax and have fun."
