“When love and skill work together expect a masterpiece.” John Ruskin
It’s a new term and a New Year; we bless
God who strengthened us to sail through
the travails of 2015 as we look forward to
greater accomplishments in 2016.
We are aware of the current economic
situation of our dear nation, but when
others are saying there is a casting down,
we will always declare that there is a lifting up. We operate a divine economy
because we serve the one who is the
‘GREAT PROVIDER’.
We will always be grateful to God for all
He has done for us in this Academy; He
has been faithful and will always be. We
also thank our parents for the support and
trust, and also our students who keep
exerting and stretching themselves to
excel despite the rigour.
This term, we will be running with the
theme ‘ENTREPRENEURSHIP’. The focus is,
by the end of the term every student and
staff of this Academy is expected to have
acquired at least one skill. The skills acquired will be presented by each class at
the end of the term.
‘It is better for a child to have a skill than to
need the skill and not have it’. To excel in
the real world, you must be skilled at
something and possess the mind of an
entrepreneur. Life requires more than the
ability to understand a concept, memorise
it and reproduce it in an exam and as a
school, our commitment is to build a total
child.
EXTERNAL EXAMINATIONS
We are currently working seriously on
preparing our Year 9 and 12 students for
their external exams. May our efforts be
crowned with success. They will be taking
WAEC, NECO, JAMB, LAGOS STATE BECE
and CHECKPOINT. Kindly ensure they
engage in independent study at home
and eliminate the use of internet and TV,
except it is needed for their school work.

COMMUNITY SERVICE
As it is our custom, we will be having another Community Service this term. We
encourage our students to give and also

God for what they have and be proud of
their achievements. When it’s time to

NEW YEAR, NEW TERM/WELCOME BACK
Happy New Year everyone! We would like to welcome you back to school for the second term; a term full of adventures,
surprises and of course, examinations.
Students of Juilliard Academy, on behalf of the staff and faculty, I would like to commend you on your reputable behaviour in the last term/year in high hopes that such behaviour will continue this term. The outstanding cooperation between
staff and students in the last term had made it quite a satisfactory one. We should nevertheless, give credit to our
staff and faculty for aiding our Christmas carol service, making it a memorable and festive occasion. With all the events
that took place last term, it is safe to say that this term will be one to look forward to. The Easter break coming up gives
us time to unwind and relax. However, the prestigious and ever-so-eventful annual inter-house sports competition will
enable us to let out our inner athlete, all this is happening in second term. This is going to be boisterous yet amusing.
Brace yourselves for it!
Another thing to look forward to this term is the election of prefects. The time to showcase your leadership qualities is
now! All the Obamas, it is your time to shine. As your president, I can say it was not easy to get here. Hard-work was
inevitable, but it paid off in the long run. I hope my successor will perform as wonderfully as I think I have. It is an honour and a privilege to be in this position and I wish nothing but favour and success to my successor.
Dear parents and students, in a nutshell; this is a new term. With it comes new responsibilities, new opportunities and
new challenges, both in your academic and personal lives. I wish you the best this term and abundant success and victory
in all your endeavours. Have a blessed term!
