We held our first open house of the year recently, turning our usual format on its head and going back to the drawing board. There was a tangible sense of excitement as we prepared for the arrival of our guests. A group, consisting of students and teachers, were tasked with the responsibility of welcoming attendees. It proved a huge success with focused sessions for parents and students along with opportunities for both parties to meet our international partners, our academic team and senior management team. Well done and thank you to all those who contributed their time and effort. Our next Open House is coming up soon, as are our entrance exams, so keep an eye on our website and Facebook Page for more...

It was another success story when the college had its first Oxbridge Family Day in the form of a barbecue on the 7th of February, 2016. It was an occasion organised to bring parents, students and teachers together in a relaxed and informal setting. There was no talk about academia allowed!!! With music, drink and food lovingly prepared by our catering team, all those who attended definitely had a nice time. Everyone who took part in the events praised the initiative and expressed their wishes for more such events to be held in...

As part of the college marketing team initiative of bringing the excellent educational services we offer to the consciousness of Lagos and its environ, a Taster’s Day was held on the 13th of January, 2016. Students of Vivian Fowler Memorial College, Lagos visited the college to have a first-hand taste of our everyday activities. THE VISITORS HAD THIS TO SAY AFTER THEIR VISIT: I feel that the college is an excellent place to be, as far as Sixth Form education is concerned. I have heard so much about it, but now having experienced it, I think it has lived up to its reputation. I attended a couple of classes, but for Mathematics precisely, I understood virtually everything taught. IFUNNAYA IZOR Oxbridge is a very active place; I could virtually sense the energy and it is not a place where you see students looking sad or morose and the classes were quite interactive. The teachers gave room for students to express themselves freely. The food too is great. I think the school is well run. Nothing for me to add to it! WILLIEM ITU I went round the school facilities and had the privilege of attending Law and Mathematics classes, which I found quite interactive. I surely had a nice time and really everything appeared well managed. VIVIAN IMIRE...

In the highly challenging and competitive world of the 21st century, our youth also feel the pressure of not only meeting the expectations they set for themselves, but also those set by their parents. This of course creates confusion and dilemma at times. In a bid to give our students a platform to express themselves, there was a panel discussion entitled, Expectations from Teenagers, organised and anchored by the students of OTC on the 27th of January, 2016. Sodia Yusuf Ayomide was quite adept as he anchored the event, reeling out various thought-provoking questions and issues to the panelists made up of students drawn from different streams of the college. The students were: Ekpenyong Joy Insa Umossoh-Ime Lilian Ayomiposi Ibeabuchi Chigozirim Adanna Njoku Chiagoziem Ikechi Nwofe Anulika Nnenne Onigbanjo Mowalolaoluwa. In a relaxed atmosphere, the students were quite frank, as they expressed their frustrations in trying to meet the high standards set by parents and teachers. They however appreciated the concern and worry of these set of people in trying to make them better people. The Vice-Principal of the college, Mrs.Tony-Ubah, who was in attendance also brought a balance to the discourse in that, as much as teenagers should explore being themselves positively, they must also do it within the ambit of accepted morality and societal norms.
