The 2021/2022 academic year rounded off on a promising note as we were poised to instill discipline and engender revival in all and sundry. Our sincere appreciation goes to the Almighty God for the great privilege of His sustaining grace, making it possible for us to see the end of this academic year.

In fact, many commendable developments greeted the eyes of staff, students and parents on resumption this session. We are indebted to the founder of LOGISS and the general superintendent of the Watchman Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement, Pastor A.C.

The academic block has relocated to the new site by the grace of God. This will help to fast track the approval of ‘The Rock University”.

20. Spiritual Development: Raising students to be patterned after the image of the Lord is a task that cannot be accomplished by human strength. It takes God’s mercy for lives to be truly transformed and conformed to the image of God. We are therefore grateful to Him for His transforming grace at work in the lives of the students. All efforts are focused on bringing up our students in the fear of God. We have great expectations and hope that the gospel of Christ will

bring more transformation in the lives of our students as we pray, teach and direct them to the saving power of God. The soul and spirit are strengthened on fellowship days. Born again students

with clear testimonies are given the opportunity to preach during assemblies and function in our weekly spiritual activities and morning assemblies.

We appeal to our parents/guardians to please adhere to these arrangements to enable us serve you better.

Holiday Project/Assignment: Bringing up the students to meet up with our desired goal is a collective responsibility. In the light of the above, we appeal to our parents to help in ensuring that their wards complete the projects and assignment given to them because they form part of their continuous assessment records.
