It was tears galore at Pampers Private School (PPS), Alaka, Surulere campus last Tuesday as the higher grade graduants presented their farewell song at the 30th graduation/speech and prize giving ceremony for the class of 2013.

The tears told how much the pupils would miss the school as they moved on to the next stage of their education.

The graduands cried so much that the Proprietress, Mrs Oludolapo Odunlami had to leave her seat to embrace and wipe their tear-stained faces. She couldn't do it alone as parents and guardians also stepped to the stage to assist her in consoling them.

But the event was not all about tears as pupils thrilled with presentations such as drama, dance, poetry recitation, choreography, choir presentations among others.

The head teacher lower and higher grade of the school, Mrs Yemi Ladeinde while delivering her speech referred to the pupils as toddlers of yesteryears who are now responsible boys and girls filled with dreams and aspirations to impact the world positively.

After giving her charge she said: "Parting with you today is very painful, as you are already part of me and the school. But since you are on the ladder of success, it is inevitable that you must grow. I say congratulations but never to rest on your paddles. It is just the beginning."

During the nursery graduation held days before, the head teacher of the nursery school, Mrs Bunmi Nwadialor who spoke with The Nation about the school's 30th graduation said it has been a rewarding but challenging journey raising the children.

"As you know our business is children. Grooming children is not an easy task except you're not out to do a good job. If you are out to do a good job then you will agree with me that it is challenging. It demands a lot from you as a teacher because you need patience, tolerance, love and wisdom from God".

The graduation of the Pampers Private School, Lekki annex, was no less exciting.

Prizes were awarded to pupils of lower and higher grades as well as the outgoing pupils to encourage their performance in academic endeavours.

The head teacher, PPS, Lekki annex, Mr Tunde Adejumo said the school goes beyond academics to impact their pupils socially and in other aspects of life.

"It has been a great experience, great quality, and you know quality comes with time and the school has matured over time to become one of the best in offering the highest level of education a child deserves, he said.
