We are really proud of our Girls and young leaders at Eva Adelaja Girls’ Senior Secondary School, Bariga for embarking on an Educational Outreach to share the knowledge gained during the 2024 S.M.I.L.E Young Leaders Mentoring Program(YLMP) with their peers.
This initiative is one of the social impact projects carried upon by these 5 Change Champions with the support of their mentees. The impactful program which held on Friday May 10, 2024 had 200 students in attendance( 180 students from the Senior Secondary School and 20 from the Junior Secondary School)
Program highlights include a session on leadership by the Deputy Governor, Miss Eniola Odujebe. She enlightened her peers on the meaning of leadership, the importance of imbibing admirable leadership qualities and embracing transformational leadership.
She reiterated the fact that, they have what it takes to be great leaders, encouraging them to lead change in their school, community and nation at large.
Another highlight of the day was the session on Etiquette and Comportment by a mentee- Miss Omowonuola Adekoya. She explained the meaning of Etiquette, and the various forms of Etiquette namely: Communication Etiquette, Phone Etiquette, Dining Etiquette and so on. The students were excited to practicalize the session on dining etiquette.
The young leaders wrapped up the program with the Indian Boy video which stirred up a conversation about the importance of taking initiative and solving problems.
Our profound gratitude to the school management, Mrs Oluremi Ladipo, the Vice-Principal Eva Adelaja Girls’ Senior Secondary School/ S.M.I.L.E YLMP School Counselor and S.M.I.L.E’s Youth mentors, Miss Victoria Ogundiran and Miss Aishat Ibrahim for their immense support in guiding and supporting these young leaders.
