Our New Catering Facilities by Mrs. Adekanye

The idea of upgrading the kitchen was conceived in order to improve the efficiency of the Kitchen operation. Before now, food preparation was done using the old, traditional kitchen setting where the food was prepared outside the kitchen with the wash up area beside it.  This affected the effectiveness and efficiency of kitchen staff productivity. The new kitchen has resolved the major problems, giving rise to these innovations.  Cooking is now being  done inside the kitchen as against the former open air operation of the past, which has helped in reducing  the stress and aiding efficiency. It has also  enhanced high standard of hygiene. Installation of electric oven has equally  helped in making our food output to always emerge with some finesse and quality. With the kitchen hood and big extractor in place, the heat experienced in the old kitchen has been eliminated. Above all, the new kitchen (fondly referred to as e-kitchen) is a delight 🙂 to  all eyes and speaks volume of the importance that OXBRIDGE College attaches to providing conducive working environment for its staff, but also always striving to give our students the best, as it is obtained globally.

Oxbridge Intranet goes live!

Very excited to announce that we have a brand spanking new intranet running at Oxbridge! The aim is to facilitate communication between students, teachers and other members of staff. The intranet is purely internal so can not be accessed from outside the college. The new system also integrates well with the Samsung tablets each student has been given and the improved wifi network within the college. There are all sorts of interesting capabilities to the system and we’re all really keen to see the innovative ways it used to aid learning and cement a cohesive sense of community within the school. Here’s a little snapshop of the system in...

Change.. by Osuya. O. Rosemary

As we start our Sunday here’s a piece by one of our students that provokes thought and contemplation: CHANGE Everyone desires a change in life, school, place of work and the world at large, which is a good thing but,  we fail to realise that change has got to start from every individual. According to Mahatma Gandhi ‘we must be the change we wish to see in the world’. Some students or teenagers find it such a pleasure to play on the intelligence of their parents or teachers or adults, doing same to their colleagues or those they are older than.The funny thing is… these same people are so prompt to detect and criticise others in higher positions who do the same thing they do. They call them cheats and say they are corrupt. Sorry to say, but you are no better than these people they are condemning. Some people cheat during test or exams. Others steal people’s stuffs and you claim you are “keeping it for the person”. Sorry to shock you, but you are no better than those who are behind bars, no matter how “small” you think it is. Every criminal you see out there started practising knowingly or unknowingly at a stage of their lives with these things you tag “normal” or “small”. And if care is not taken you might end up being like them or worse. We all know the difference between white and black as well as good and bad or right and wrong, we need to shake off those habits or traits that make us stink. We are the leaders of...

2013 SRC Elections

No matter how small a community is, it has a leader to voice out its opinions, just like a democratic government and so Oxbridge Tutorial College gave this chance to her students in voting for their representatives at the Students’ Representative Council. Now before elections, there are campaigns and manifestoes. Nominees for the SRC had their manifestoes read out to the students in the hall. Although some came out unprepared, they still wowed the students with the few words they said. The opening prayer began with Mr Oloowokeere. Mr Dada gave a brief speech about how the manifesto was going to go. Each tutor group was entitled to 1 representative from whom the students would choose if they impressed them with their manifestos. Each tutor group had about 4 nominees. IFY Business and Law The nominees included Seun, Omolara, Uzoma and Nsikan Seun started off with saying we need to struggle for student unity. He talked about organisation of competitions saying he would always listen to student opinions. Omolara told the students that she would be the best person to voice out the opinions of students. She wants to be the medium between the school and the students. She kept on emphasizing on the fact that change is necessary and she would consider every suggestion, while trying to make Oxbridge a more pleasant place. Uzoma believes that the students want change as he asked them, to which they all shouted yes with all enthusiasm. So he replied them by saying “Vote for me” and the statement alone earned him enough claps and roars from the audience Nsikan wants to make things better for the school and the hostel. Even though she came...
