In a significant move to shape well-rounded future leaders, Corona Schools in Lagos have powerfully reiterated their dedication to fostering co-curricular activities and imparting cutting-edge technology skills to their students. This commitment was prominently displayed during the recent 2025 Inter-School Quiz Competition held at the Corona School campus in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Building Champions Beyond the Classroom
Mrs. Funmilola Olorunnishola, the Head of School at Corona School, Ikoyi, served as the event's key spokesperson. She articulated that the institution's strategy is a deliberate one, designed to cultivate healthy competition, build sportsmanship, and adequately prepare pupils for international challenges. She emphasized that the students on display are not merely academic high-flyers but individuals growing in confidence, boldness, and a clear understanding of fair play.
Olorunnishola further highlighted that the students' behavior, their competitive yet friendly spirit, and their overall composure are clear indicators of their significant personal growth and mental maturity. "Our exploits at global competitions are testaments to these internal competitions," she added, connecting the school's internal initiatives to its success on the world stage.
A 70-Year Legacy Embracing Modern Technology
This 70-year-old academic institution is not resting on its laurels. It has proactively reaffirmed its mission to tutor students in new and emerging technologies. A key focus area is Artificial Intelligence (AI), ensuring that pupils become tech-savvy individuals capable of thriving in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
The school's approach goes beyond theory. As evidence of its practical application, some students have already created smart city prototypes as part of an inter-school competition, demonstrating a tangible grasp of modern technological concepts.
Echoing the school's philosophy, Ms. Christiana Yellowe, the Human Resource Manager for the Corona Schools' Trust Council, acknowledged the profound relevance and impact of co-curricular activities. She confirmed that platforms like the inter-school quiz are actively used to evaluate student progress, with the outcomes consistently providing satisfaction.
This concerted effort by Corona Schools solidifies its assertion of maintaining a robust and vibrant co-curriculum, one that empowers students to explore and excel in various spheres of life beyond traditional academics.
