Page 2 HEAD OF DEPARTMENTS REPORT Advanced Level & Advanced Subsidiary Programme Report Although the Protest in the Country has hindered movement, The Regent College staff have continued to provide students with the needed attention in all classes. The online learning system has not deterred teaching as teachers continue to give their best in providing students with engaging online class lessons. The midterm test has just been concluded and the performance dropped compared to the weekly test performance. The Advanced Subsidiary (AS) students recorded a 41% A-C grade while the Advanced Level (A2) students recorded a 69% A* - C. We have noticed that some students are still groping with mastering the right way to re- spond to questions. Some still need to master the right use of keywords and proper inter- pretation of questions. We are working hard to improve students’ performance in future assessments. The AS/A level HOD will organise a meeting with all teachers to discuss further strategies that can be used to enrich our class lessons to ensure the students achieve the performance expecta- tions of the College. We are hopeful that going forward, all students will show resilience and put in their best as we continue to provide the needed support to enable them to overcome any limitations they may have. We are grateful for the cooperative spirit shown by our esteem parents/guardians and we look forward to seeing you support us in achieving our goals for the students. Thank you Awonusi Babatunde David. HOD Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced Level Programme. Respect Responsibility Resilience

Page 3 HEAD OF DEPARTMENTS REPORT Foundation Programme Report With the midterm test over, scores are being collated for the three assessments - weeks three, four and midterm tests. In the coming days, all the scores would have come in and an overview of the results would be reported. However, the results that have come so far have been very impressive. What it requires is sustainability and improvement. As usual, when we have a clearer view of the results, we would be able to take appropriate decisions. Meanwhile, teachers are now targeting the completion of the scheme of work for the term. Thank you. Michael Monday Business Teacher/Head, University Foundation Programmes.

Page 4 ONTARIO SECONDARY SCHOOL DIPLOMA (OSSD) PROGRAMME Students Begin Final Grade Journey This week, our students have begun their final grade journey. This is because up to 70% percent of their final grade is up for grabs from assignments, tests and/or projects, while the end of term exam/project would only account for 30%. With Deadline Manager now in place and running, both teachers and students are working really hard to ensure that the first assignment deadlines are not only met, but done so gainfully. We are very pleased with the progress we have made thus far, especially with the cooper- ation of our students and the support of our dear parents. We do understand these are challenging times, but this is even the more reason we must work together like never be- fore to support the children to not only meet deadlines but also excel in their completed tasks. Please stay safe. Timothy Hyua, HOD, OSSD Programme, English and Lit. in English Teacher Respect Responsibility Resilience

Page 5 CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES REPORT As we gradually approach the end of first half of term 1, it is important to give you up to date information and celebrate some of our gains in activities department since we com- menced virtual learning on 14th September, 2020. In line with this, our students will have opportunity to review their goal setting documents with their respective mentors during the leadership/mentorship class on Friday 22nd Octo- ber, 2020. This will challenge them to better performance in their academics and help them to consolidate on their successes in the coming weeks. As usual, mentors will interact with their mentees to review their weekly and mid-term scores and offer useful recommen- dations that would help boost their grades. We sincerely encourage our students to take advantage of this unique opportunity. Again, Student Representative Manifesto was held on Friday 16th October, 2020. All the contestants had opportunity to present their agenda and programmes to the entire college community while soliciting their votes in the forthcoming SRC election. Both staff and stu- dents had the opportunity to question and interact with the contestants. The process was quite open, transparent, engaging and democratic. We wish all the constants successful outing in this year’s SRC election! Thank you Mr Ayadi Olusoji Head of Department, Activities Respect Responsibility Resilience
