    OPENING PRAYER

The meeting started at about 10.40am with an opening prayer said by Mr. Joseph

 Ajakaiye.

CHAIRPERSON’S OPENING REMARK

The Chairperson, Hajiya Zainab Abdulwahab, welcomed everyone who was present

despite their busy schedules. She noted that  it was time to rub minds together:

agree,  disagree and come to a conclusion for the progress of the girls and the

 school.  She reminded everyone present that it was ‘the election year’ so, everyone

should be ready to cast votes.

READING OF THE PREVIOUS MINUTES:

Everyone read the minutes individually as directed by the chairperson and

supported by the house.

CORRECTIONS:

There  was a suggested that attendance needs to be attached to the minutes.

Dr Abdullahi Mustapha suggested that minutes be posted online on the school

portal so that everyone can remember what was said in a short time so as to effect

corrections  where necessary. The Chairperson reacted on these suggestions. She

noted that the cost of printing materials is so high that is why the number of

attendance is taken against listing of names. Concerning the uploading of the last

minutes on the school portal, it was accepted that it should be given a trial.

ADOPTION OF THE MINUTES

The minutes was adopted by Mrs. Adama Abdulrasheed and seconded by Mrs.

Veronica Lamu.

MATTERS ARISING

Note copying: the school posts on the portal for easy access and prints out notes

when necessary.

Theft and misplacement: actions are being taken.

Award for punctuality: this started at the last graduation ceremony.

Incomplete result online: this has been attended to.

Insecurity: the school is doing her best.

Buying things outside the school gate:  caution is necessary. The chairperson also

urged parents to always pick up their girls before late hours.

The chairperson appealed that radical steps should be taken on the issue

of the students who bring phones to school.

PRINCIPAL’S  REPORT:

The principal welcomed everyone to the meeting. She notified the house that the

school lost two parents: Prof. Jamil, a former registrar at B.U.K and Mr Okeke.

Moments of silence and prayers in the Christian and Muslim ways were said in their

honour. She asked  if the house could get a medical personnel to address

parents/guidance on why people slump and appealed that everyone should always

go for regular medical checkup.

Apology; she apologized for the quality of sandals which the girls are using; she

explained that the school lost contact with the main suppliers of the sandals but it

would be sorted out soonest.

Competitions: the girls went for so many competitions with excellent outcomes

Academics: the JAMB scores of the students this year keep increasing: the highest

score for this year 2023 is 312 while the least score is 186. She made it known to

 the house that many universities are commending the School Products (the girl)

The principal also made it known to the house that she cannot vouch for the day students on WAEC result because they rely on getting “expo” on the net instead of

 studying. For this, a therapist has been paid to come and talk to the girls in

September. She advised parents to install “parent control” on the gadgets they

 provide for their children.

She explained that discipline is becoming a very big challenge which the school

 faces especially in these areas; gossiping, telling lies, spreading false information,

bringing phones or tablets to school, and lack of taking responsibilities over

 personal belongings.

She also spoke on the challenges of running both boarding and day school system ,

pointing out that, the day students are used by both parents and boarders to sneak

in all sort of things into the school.

Given  the trending of things, the school is seriously embracing skill acquisitions 

beyond the practicals done in the classrooms.  She said the school would work with

 the girls’ interests and pleaded that parents should help with materials when

 needed and some payments if some experts are brought from outside.

The school started interlocking the ground from the two new blocks. The work is

 moving slowly but it will gradually go round as the essence is to level the ground

and reduce its sloppiness and flood experience during raining season. The sports

ground was graded before the rain started. The refectory and kitchen are

undergoing renovation to provide a decent space for the day students and

 members of staff to eat their food and  have  a conducive and safe kitchen where

 the boarding students’  food is prepared.

Mathematics and Geography laboratories are under construction. The 2023 set

project is to set up the Mathematics aspect of it, and gradually, Geography kits

 would be acquired.

The principal thanked parents for impressively responding on coming early to drop

 their wards to school after the last meeting but warned that they have started  

going back on it.

A question was raised on whether there should be any celebration for the JSS3

students  after their placement examination. She also notified the house that there

 would be a  three week summer classes from 31^st July through 21^st August, 2023.

 Graduation ceremony was slated for 15^th August, 2023 in the evening.

Because of the economic situation in the country, the feeding money for the

 boarders  is no longer sufficient hence, some amount would be added.

She expressed dismay over the girls who bring phones to school.

She said the school is exploring on the possibility of having the girls write exams like

 IGCSE, GCE and others. She ended by thanking everyone for coming.

A.O.B

Hajiya Sadika Mohammed suggested  that girls who bring phones to school should

be expelled.

Mr Sunday Abba asked for when the G.C.E registration would commence and if it is

going to be ‘O’ level or ‘A’ level. He got the reply that it is going to be ‘O’ level. The

 house was asked to notify the school if they would be interested as the school is

liaising with WAEC at the moment to be an Exam Centre. The school will be working

 with Zenith Bank to get a multi-purpose I.D cards for the girls.

 So many suggestions were made concerning the phones which the girls bring to

 school: Professor Abudullahi Abdulhadi suggested that the school provides a

scanner for the security persons at the gate and if any phone is found, it should be

sold. Engineer Austen Egbadon suggested that  punishing with  expulsion is to

 the extreme rather, the girls should be searched thoroughly by the female teachers

before proceeding to  the exam hall.

Mr Ajakaiye Jacob commended the school for taking the issue of phones so serious,

he suggested that phones be disposed and suspension applied to avoid tarnishing

 the image of the school. Professor Hadiza agreed that the matter is a very serious

 one as she suggested that parents should be counseling their girls, phones be

 destroyed and offenders  suspended. Hajiya (Dr) Ralia M. Abdullahi suggested  that

 a committee should be set up to look into the case of phones. She also said that

the issue of malpractice is also very serious so, drastic actions should be taken. A

parent asked if the parents of phone offenders were invited to the school and the

 Principal replied in affirmation. A parent suggested that the school needs to come

 up with a serious suggestion like; all SS3 students must be boarders. At this

juncture, it was concluded that any phone gotten from students be destroyed.

Another parent raised an issue that theft among the girls should be taken as serious

as the issue of phones. The principal made a clarification that most times, it is

 misplacement of belongings. Lastly, a parent concluded that Matrons should be

employed to stay with the girls always in the hostel. This was taken note of.

FINANCIAL REPORT: the financial report between July,2022 and June,2023 was

 presented and clarification was made.

herself, reminding the house that it was the end of their tenure. Thereafter, the
