She said: “This has brought joy to the entire school community. This is, undoubtedly, the evidence of extra work that both the students and teachers have put in place to better our students, academically and otherwise.

“In Brickhall School, we silently observe and identify the potential(s) of all students because we believe every student is blessed with some form of talent. We give them unique attention and coaching to enable them confidently develop themselves along their different area(s) of interest. This is just what we did in this case, and the result was positive and impressive. We hope to achieve more in coming editions of the competition and other ones.”

Speaking at the brief ceremony, Miss Lotachi Odo Amanda, explained that the success was as a result of extra work, dedication, support and encouragement that came from her Mathematics teacher and her fellow students.

She said: “My Mathematics teacher was instrumental to the success. He created a conducieve and friendly environment for me to approach him with difficult mathematics questions which, in most cases, he demystified.

“He created time for us to study and solve mathematics questions together. Infact, he’s always available for me at all times even when it’s inconvenient for him. I am grateful to him and the school management for the opportunity to represent and achieve the feat.”

One of the school teachers who pleaded anonymity, said the school has a culture of first creating a friendly atmosphere for the children to freely approach and interact with the teachers, and freely say their mind.

“In Brickhall School, we play and learn together. And that’s why we are achieving results, as evident in the academic and non-academic engagements of our students,” the teacher said, with a promise to do more to ensure improved performance in the coming editions.
