Our electronic library plays an essential role in keeping the digital doors open to help our students think about learning beyond the classroom. It enables our users to gain access to a full range of information beyond the school building.

Our collections are of a high standard covering the school curriculum, the general interest of the students, and stimulating the children’s imaginative development.

The library collection consists of subject test books, journals magazines, newspapers, novels, reference materials such as; children’s encyclopedia, dictionaries, handbook, etc. providing resources to students and teachers giving them the opportunity to read and learn.

We render reference service to our students helping out to find information resources for their assessments and research works.

SPELLING BEE, LITERARY AND DEBATING CLUBS.

These clubs are designed to help students develop the ability to critically analyze issues and to confidently express informed opinions on national and international topics.

At meetings, club members engage in lively discussions, exchanging both pro and contrary ideas and opinion.

The coordinators ensure that each student presents a speech or argue on a topic to an audience, usually, the entire school. The belief is that when students are trained in this way it eliminates stage fright thereby enabling them to speak confidently before an audience in future.

MUSIC CLUBS

The music club is a platform where students get the opportunity to engage in practical music learning. At the club we put to work all the theories learnt in class till the complete music person is formed.

 

We engage the students across the 5 families of musical instruments (Keyboard, strings, percussion, wind and brass). Our students are expected to learn at least one instrument from any one family of choice. We allow an addition of vocal lessons for all music club members since the voice is a universal musical instrument which everyone has.

We adopt best practice music learning techniques such as tonic sol-fa and staff notation to achieve our goal of raising a complete and competent music personnel.

For some of our learners we use the Suzuki teaching method so that we are able to reach every child regardless of their age and capacity.

We also adopt a large sense of differentiation which allows us see every learner individually and grow each learner independent of another.

At every school event we pursue for ground of music expression as we know the vital role expression gives to learning. With this in mind, members of the music club get the chance to be part of various bands in the school.

Here in Africa Community school we grow music skills deliberately and excellently.
