Dear Parents and friends of Nobelhouse College,

I am delighted to be able to write to you as the new Principal of Nobelhouse College.

I have joined NobelHouse College as the new Principal, after spending the last six years working as an Assistant Principal in Lagos, Vice Principal Academic and as Head of School in Abuja.

I began and have had a better part of my career in Lagos although I am originally from Rivers state.  I bring with me over eighteen years of solid experience in education as my dedication to education can be traced to my teaching experience, school management and leadership experiences.

I am a keen teacher mentor and coach, and a strong advocate for raising confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged students. I have a strong interest in achieving sound academic and extracurricular outcomes, and I am privileged to be appointed by the board of governors of Nobelhouse College to work with the dynamic team of professionals at NobelHouse College as we head into the next phase of education in the history of the school.

This is definitely the time to have your children at Nobelhouse College because the school is indeed committed to the prosperity of your beloved children. Although the principal has changed, our vision for the school remains.

My vision for the school is to ensure that all students achieve both academically, personally and socially beyond expectations and their prior attainment; that they experience an outstanding and enjoyable education and are able to sustain their good life choices whilst making a positive contribution to their communities.

We would work to achieve this ambitious vision through addressing our school curriculum and facilities. Our immediate goal is to achieve a harmonized British and national education with Nobelhouse College embracing the Nigerian National curriculum in its next phase of its existence, and updating facilities in phases, which got delayed as a result of my transition to this role. However, I am confident that we would deliver on our promises.

Addressing our curriculum would include maintaining a relentless focus on improving the quality of teaching and learning; and finally by developing high standards of behaviour, life skills and an entrepreneurial spirit in all our students that will equip them for their future after leaving NobelHouse College.

I congratulate our committed and hardworking staff who saw us through last school year and achieved impressive external examination results. It is forward ever!

I look forward to meeting you all and getting to know each of our students over the coming weeks. Welcome to the 2019/2020 session.

 

My best wishes for a great school year.

 

Gloria Ken-Okoroafor

Principal
