Dear Parent,

Rest assured that you have made the right decision of putting your child/children in the right hands where they will thrive, grow, and excel. We therefore, solicit your support and cooperation as we work together to bring out the best in our children.
Our school has a positive reputation for embracing and celebrating every kind of achievement and this is reflected in our theme for the session: ‘RELEASE YOUR POTENTIALS AND REALISE YOUR GREATNESS’ and our virtue in focus: LOVE!
School will be resuming for the first term on the 13th of September 2021, and we are excited and looking forward to seeing you then!

BRAINIACS STEM AND ROBOTICS
 
Brainiacs STEM & Robotics was introduced to Corona Schools’ Trust Council in 2018/2019 academic session. Children in the lower and upper primaries have been participating, enjoying, and gaining from this, since the inception of the concept. We found this beneficial and worthwhile for the children. The cost for this had been borne by the Trust Council.
 
Effective September 2021 however, all primary school pupils will be charged a compulsory fee of #10,000 every term for Brainiacs STEM & Robotics.
 
It is our prayer that God will continue to bless us to give our children essential and valuable world class education as we prepare them for lifelong learning, service, and fulfilment.
