in that. It depends on the training. I don’t think that any girl from this school will go out to the larger society and be timid, not relating well. We have to strike a balance. Apart from the fact that they are only girls, our staff strength is still a mix of male and female. They still have that touch. Whether it is coed or single sex, I encourage that there should be a standard which is very important and I will encourage the Federal and state governments to put in a lot in education. It is an area a country should invest in. It is not all about reading books; education should be wholesome, both in intellect and building the character of the person.

What legacy do you hope to leave at Louisville?

The legacy I am going to leave here is that every child in this school will have freedom to exercise her strength, freedom to explain why she is able to do, or why she has done what he did. There are two kinds of discipline; some people discipline children by coercing them, forcing them, I don’t believe in that. I discipline a child by teaching that child, letting you know the advantages and disadvantages of whatever action and then it is left for you to now take that decision while I guide. I am here to guide, I expect that any child that passes through me should be courageous enough to defend whatever action he or she takes. I have expelled many students in the past; we have sent about two out this term. There are certain standards we expect from a child and if after several cautions, disciplinary measures and there is no change, then the child will leave so that we can concentrate on the serious ones. So that she won’t pollute or cause others to join her way

How long have you been with the school?

I will say I was one of the pioneer staff that started this school with the late Principal, Reverend Sister Fagbemi on the 30th of September 2006; we are 10 years and some months now. I was here in the first five years but left in 2011 and I am here again on my second missionary journey.

Why do you place emphasis on discipline?

The beauties of a person lie in the character of that person. If you really want to be successful in life, you need discipline. You must be disciplined to be hard working. We try to let our girls know that there is nothing they can achieve
