The third term academic session started on 24th April, 2023, and ended on 28th July, 2023.
Statistics of pupils in the 3rd term were 291, while those of staff were 32.
There was a normal, successful School teaching and learning programme throughout the term, except on Monday’s civil unrest “Sit At Home” order. Extra-curricular activities of pupils during the term include Moral instruction class once a week, Catechism classes twice a week for pupils preparing for the reception of First Holy Communion, Prayer sessions at 12 noon (Angelus) daily, and Divine Mercy prayer at 3 pm on lesson days and Holy Rosary prayer once a week. Apart from pupils’ activities, the school management had their usual Professional Development and Staff Meeting twice in the term.
The Professional Development meeting was centered on the identification of needs or problems of pupils and staff which may affect the educational, moral, and Social development of pupils. The meeting aimed at seeking out various strategies or solutions to ameliorate or solve those problems. The Head teacher of the school also organized a counselling session for staff and parents during the P.T.A meeting for the term. The counselling programme was centered on how Growth, Maturation, and Readiness can affect a child’s educational development.
On 20th and 21st June, 2023, the school embarked on an excursion programme for all the pupils in the school except Pre-Nursery pupils because they were too tender to embark on such an outing. The excursion took place at the Oakland Hotel in Enugu. The pupils were led to enjoy some recreational facilities meant for kids within the hotel environment. It was an outing full of fun for the CIDJAP School Children.
On the 19th of July, 2023, the School organized an intra-school Essay Competition on Igbo and English Language for pupils in Basic 1 – 6. The result of the competition was published and announced during the Graduation Ceremony of the School on 28th July, 2023.
