Message by the Vice Principal

Welcome to Big Apple College Website. As the Vice-Principal of the reputable institution I consider it my privilege to pen down my message for our launched website of our school. I feel very fortunate to work with many dedicated, committed, caring and innovative staff members, parents and students.

Many people consider education as a medium of getting good jobs, living a royal life, earning money and much more. But education doesn’t really mean this. Real meaning comes when one’s way of thinking gets changed and one starts thinking for the betterment of the society, country and world at large. On the whole education means holistic development of a child not only restricted to the achievements of academics but also helping the child to come up with those inherited knowledge to build a better tomorrow; with a disciplined way of life.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Soneye Oluwatosin Mary, the Principal who always guides, gives confidence, inspires and supports me in all that I do. I extend my gratitude to all the staff members for their constant amicable support towards the institution. Finally I want to thank all the students of Big Apple College for their contribution and important role they play in the School to take the School to a greater height as per the Motto “Learning by Doing.”

Thank you and God Bless You!
