BEST TEACHERS OF THE MONTH OF MARCH, 2024.
PRIMARY EDUCATOR
Our school has always been one to celebrate every shining star that it is blessed with and this is why this month's best teacher for the primary school category is the person of Miss Deborah Olubimo.
She is truly an exceptional teacher. The love that all of her pupils have for her is unparalleled. If you could get a seat and observe her at work, you would see how she attends to each child put in her care with utmost care and gentleness, like a nursing mother would her new born.
Congratulations, Miss Deborah. You definitely deserve this.
SECONDARY EDUCATOR
Next, we have one of the most enigmatic and charismatic women that Good Shepherd Schools, Hopetown, has been blessed with.
Did I hear someone say: "Another woman"?
Or, did you mean to say: "men"?
No. You heard right! Women!
The teacher of the month for the Secondary School, Hopetown Campus, is Mrs. Abioye.
An outstanding being if I do say so myself. She knows how to exude charisma in every step she takes. She's a government teacher and a counselor. She's very understanding and has absolutely zero tolerance for judging a person. She is what we like to call THE VIBEE.
She's simply an engaging, indefatigable, and riveting teacher.
