In what has become an annual event, the students of the college proceeded on an excursion this time round to two states; Oyo and Oshun, both in South-Western part of Nigeria on the 5th of February,2015. The trip commenced as planned, with a record 31 students drawn from IFY, AS and the A2 streams, unlike the former practice of just English-Literature and Geography students. We headed straight to our first destination Ososa, in Ogun-State to the home of the legendary man adjudged, the father of modern theatre in Nigeria, Hubert Ogunde. The location which has been a yearly destination for our students, especially the English Literature students has worn a new look. According to our tour guide, the changes are in preparation for the grand opening of the historical edifice into what would become a full-fledged museum of modern Nigerian theatre. It will be officially commissioned in April, 2015 .We however still had the privilege of seeing some relics of theatre costumes, a rehearsal ground, and some theatrical effects to the delight of the everyone. By now, it was past midday and we headed to our next destination, Ibadan. Most of us slept through the journey and within an hour and a half from Ososa, we had got to Ibadan .We thought we had missed our way on entering the city. This is because Ibadan was a city notorious for filth, but surprisingly, it has worn a new look. The roads are tarred and neatly lined by lawns and flowers. Thanks to the new government of APC led Governor Ajimobi. We drove to our hotel, Labod, ensconced in Bodija, a...

Yet another remarkable day at Oxbridge Tutorial College, when students from Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls and Laureates School, both in Lagos, came to have a view of what life at Oxbridge TC feels like, in a programme tagged, ‘Taster’s Day’. The students were taken round the school in different batches by members of the college SRC. Most of them found it difficult to hide their joy, as they were taken to the classrooms, the science laboratories, Resource Centre, the study room, dining hall and the Girl’s Residence. They asked a lot of questions from their tour guides. They later assembled in the hall to listen to the Principal’s breakdown of life at Oxbridge, the programmes available and the benefits. They were also fortunate to listen to a talk by alumni of Oxbridge TC, Mr.Ajulu, (left the college some seven years ago,) on making success of their academic pursuit. The students also had an opportunity to attend some classes at OTC, to give them a feel of teaching and learning in the college. The students also had lunch with us and they confirmed that they would put Oxbridge TC as the number one ranking college, when they are ready to transfer. As they concluded the tour, they were able to point out new things they learnt and things they like about the college; our friendly atmosphere inclusive. It was nice having them around and we hope to see them again next year 🙂 ROSEMARY OSUYA...

The college, on the 29th of January, hosted a British Council sponsored, Cambridge International Examination Professional Development Course. It is a training programme tailored towards giving teachers of CIE Mathematics first-hand insight into the teaching and standardised assessment of Mathematics. 21 teachers were drawn from all over Nigeria for the programme. Four members of Oxbridge staff namely, Mrs.Tony-Ubah, Mr.Dada, Mr.Onanugas and Mr.Oyenekan participated in the two-day programme, facilitated by a veteran and CIE certified examiner, Mr.Jeff Fair. One of the participants, Mr.Dada shared his experience with Oxpress. According to him, ‘It was a fulfilling, rewarding and productive exercise and the reason is because, the training had a direct and practical impact on my teaching of the subject, especially in the area of assessment.’ We look forward to hosting more such programmes in the future.
