22, Harmony Estate, Akobo Ojurin, Ibadan. 11th August, 2022. The Principal, Victory International School, Bashorun Avenue, Agbowo Ojoo, Ibadan. Dear Sir, LETTER OF SUGGESTIONS It gives me great pleasure to congratulate you on the Diamond Jubilee of Victory International School. Over the years, Victory International School has been recognized for her excellent academic standard. She has won several awards from both the government and non-governmental organizations. Some of the awards include the Olympiad Awards, Most Outstanding Private Secondary School in Oyo State and many others. Victory International School is known for her excellent performance in West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination by producing the Overall Best Candidates for the past twenty-three years. The teachers are dedicated and disciplined. They do not play with their job. They make sure they bring out the best in each student. They all dislike lateness to school and laziness and always make sure every student participates in every school activity - like the school assembly, games, literary and debate. On this occasion of the school's Diamond Jubilee, I would love to suggest areas where the school needs to improve in order to be up to date with twenty-first century academic standard. Firstly, we are in the digital age, so the school needs a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to transmit, store, create, share or exchange information, that is, Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Research has shown that Information and Communication Technology can lead to an improved student learning and better teaching methods. Some examples of the infrastructure needed are computers, laptops, printers, tablets, projectors, even a website for the school will be an additional advantage. These technologies deal with the transmission and reception of information of different kinds. They also make learning fun and make students active in the classroom. The second area I would love to suggest is sport. Organized sports participation helps in the development of physical skills such as general body coordination, movement skills and strength and keeps the body fit. Some of the sports include football, swimming, basketball, bicycling and gymnastics. These sports have positive impact with higher levels of attentiveness in and outside the classroom. They increase a student's ability to concentrate and recall. Sports also teach values such as fairness, teamwork and team building, discipline, and perseverance. The last but not the least of the areas the school needs to improve is skills acquisition. The students need to learn a lucrative skill which will give them the ability to perform different activities in a competent manner. Some of the skills they can acquire are tailoring, baking, knitting, tie and dye, hair dressing, painting and carpentry. These skills would help the students to improve their way of thinking and problem solving. They can also equip them for the future to become self-reliant. In conclusion, all these suggestions should be explored in order to expose the students to various learning activities and self-discovery. They would also make the school attain greater heights and continue to stand out. Yours faithfully, Ajibade James.
