1. Who owns the school?
The school is owned and run by the Sisters of St. Louis, Nigeria Province.
2. Is it a Catholic school?
Yes, it is.
3. What type of food do the students eat?
The food menu includes meals that are common in Nigerian homes. They include bean meals (jollof beans, steamed ground beans (moin-moin) & fried ground beans (akara)), white rice & stew, jollof rice & fried rice, cassava meal (eba), bread with boiled or fried eggs, sweet potatoes with fried eggs, spaghetti, boiled yam, yam flour meal (amala), cornflakes and golden morn. Eggs, meat, and fish (fruits and vegetables go with the meals). Snacks are served twice daily.
4. How many students do you have in a class?
Each class has the capacity for thirty-six students. These include the normal thirty (30) and repeaters. Most classes usually have between 24 and 30 students.
5. Why do students wear low cut?
Students wear their hair low in order to emphasise focus on academics.
6. Can one be allowed to check the students’ hostels?
Yes. Visitors are allowed to come and check the hostels in the month of August between 9am – 1pm from Monday to Friday each week.
7. Why is the school located in this local area and not in a big city like Lagos?
The school is located in the best place for it. The village is quiet and peaceful; just the right atmosphere for learning without undue distractions for which city life is known.
8. What is the source of electricity and how reliable is it?
Our sources of electricity supply are PHCN, 250KVA and 150KVA generators, and Inverters.
9. Why is your grading system so high?
The grading system is so high in order to have students face the reality that they may be competing with geniuses on one hand, and those who cheat on the other during external examinations.
10. Why do you have just three arms of classes?
These three arms give us about ninety students per year. We feel that it is better to keep the number low in order to be able to know each student well and to give each one the attention she deserves.
11. Do you have good teachers and how many are they?
Yes we have very good teaching hands which can be attested to by the students’ high moral and academic standards. For now, the school has sixty-eight teachers.
12. Do you have portable, running water always?
LGHS has three functioning boreholes. There is constant water supply in the school.
13. Why is transfer not allowed into all the classes?
It is simply a matter of policy not to admit students midstream into both our junior and senior schools.
14. Are the students going to become Reverend Sisters when they leave here?
Helping LGHS girls become women of integrity is the focus of the school. How they live out this life of integrity is each student’s decision.
15. Are students of other religions admitted into the school?
The school admits and embraces students of diverse faiths and beliefs. |
