A REVIEW OF SOME ACTIVITIES DURING THE SESSION
ELECTRIFYING MOMENTS AT GOF CULTURAL DAY
This session’s Cultural Day took place Thursday, 29th July, 2021. The event is one of the school programmes that showcase the celebration of different cultures of Nigerian ethnic groups geared towards making pupils and students appreciate our cultural heritage.
Among the events of the day was the display of some of the main cultural heritage of Nigerian tribes namely Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. Among the presentations were evil recitation, group dance, “bata” dance and so on. The invited resource person, Mr. Gbeola Olufemi of Centre for Black Culture and International Relationship delivered a lecture on the topic: “Culture; A Universal Human Heritage.” The presence of many parents and guardians made the occasion grand as they added more glamour to the celebration. One of the most attractive, eye-catching and memorable displays was the unity dance staged by pupils and students.
SPELLING BEE
One of our student representatives that participated in 2021 edition of Nigeria Spelling Bee Competition, Ogundeji Damilola Year 9, made the school proud by emerging as the best speller in the South West.

They all made it to the South-West Pre-Regional Qualifier stage at International College, Ibefun, Lagos State where Damilola displayed her skill to emerge as the South-West Winner.
