The students school relay team went for school relay races from differents who invited the school during their inter – house competition.

E    ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMES :  Every thing that happens in a school and in this instance in our school should be borne from our vision. In the last twelve months,the management introduced some new additional programmes which which we believe we lead us towards achieving the college vision. These programmes includes:

 I   MINDLABORATORY : Mindlab is a new innovation method of teaching using games as an instrument.This method was originated from Isreal.The mindlab method has been operating with resounding success in thousands of educational institutions abroad and has enriched the lives of more than one million students in over 20 countries around the world including the U.S.A, U.K, Korea, Spain, Hungary,Mexico to mention but a few.Mindlab innovative progamme involves students use of a wide variety of games to discovered and develope thinking, social and emotional concepts and then apply to schoolistic achievements and to life itself.This methods of teaching also help students sharpen their thinking and develop skill such as problems solving,stategic thinking,emotional intelligence,interpersonal skills and mathematic skills. Triple Crown College was the foremost school in Nigeria to embrace this new methods of teaching and it fully in operation in the school.Aparts from this numerous benefits,it also give the college students the opportunity to participate in the yealy mindlab olympia competition organise by mindlab group amongst different countries of the world that embrace this method of teaching.

II   INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY :   In the last twelve months,the college management has employed the services of Karox, an international  ICT company to improve the students knowledge in various computer programmes and information technology with a few to develop students professionally, with this level of expoture there their stay in the school,it will not be neccessary for go for six months computer trainnig ussuall undertake after leaving secondary school since recently most of the Universities has now embrace the use of computer during their post UME examination and online registration.

J     APPRECIATIONS :  I want to use this medium unbehave of the management to thank and salute the effors of the school Board of Governors and P.T.A Exco Members for their active performance over the last twelve Months. We appreciate the the effort of P.T.A Exco Members for flooring 4 classrooms and toilets with mordern tiles as well as organising Teachers – Appreciation day for all  teaching and non teachin Staff  unbahave of the parents of the College.The management wishes the Members of Board of Governors,P.T.A Exco and our dear Parents God’s blessings always
