Health Sensitization Visit by Health4Kids Trust
Our school was honoured to welcome Mrs. Grace Ojobo of Health4Kids Trust, an international NGO, through the support of our PTA Executive led by Mr. Great Idachaba.
During the visit, pupils were educated on healthy living, with focus on:
Drinking enough clean water daily and avoiding excessive sugary drinks
Personal and environmental cleanliness
Proper brushing of teeth (twice daily, correct technique)
The session was highly interactive and enlightening, helping pupils understand how good habits prevent diseases and support better learning.
In addition, Health4Kids Trust supported less-privileged pupils with school bags, exercise books, sandals, and T-shirts, while other pupils received water bottles, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and pencils. The school also received a first aid box, with assurances of continued partnership.
The school and PTA sincerely appreciate Health4Kids Trust for this impactful visit and their commitment to the health and wellbeing of our pupils. 💙👏

The Queen of NAMS Visits NSUK Demonstration Staff School: A Cultural and Enlightening Encounter

The atmosphere at the NSUK Demonstration Staff School (DSS) was filled with excitement and admiration as the Queen of the National Association of Mada Students (NAMS), Nasarawa State University Keffi Chapter, paid a cultural and warmly anticipated visit to the school.

In what can be described as a beautiful blend of tradition and inspiration, the Queen and her entourage graced the school with elegance and purpose. Her visit was not only a celebration of Mada culture, but also an opportunity to educate, inspire, and empower the young minds of NSUK DSS.

During her engagement with the students, the Queen held an interactive session, where she shared valuable insights and raised awareness on key topics important for personal development and cultural identity. Her words were full of wisdom, encouragement, and passion for youth upliftment, leaving a lasting impression on both pupils and staff.

To crown the day’s activities, the Queen generously presented wonderful and thoughtful gifts to the students, putting smiles on their faces and making the day truly memorable. The interaction was warm, engaging, and highly impactful — a day the students will not forget in a hurry.

The management, staff, and students of NSUK DSS wish to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the Queen of NAMS and her entourage for this wonderful and courageous effort. Your kind gesture has not only touched lives but has also sown seeds of pride, hope, and cultural consciousness in the hearts of our students.

We thank you for your time, love, and commitment to community development. NSUK DSS looks forward to more collaborations in the future.

2. Review Notes and Materials Together
Go through your child's class notes, textbooks, and study guides, ensuring they understand key points.

3. Practice Past Questions
Use past examination questions or practice tests to familiarize your child with the exam format and improve their confidence.

4. Summarize Topics with Flashcards
Help your child create flashcards with key terms, formulas, or concepts for quick and easy revision.

5. Use Active Recall
Ask your child questions about what they’ve studied to reinforce their memory and understanding.

6. Provide a Quiet Study Environment
Ensure your child has a distraction-free space for focused learning.

7. Incorporate Educational Tools
Utilize online resources, apps, or videos to make learning engaging and interactive.
