Marble Hill School Asaba

Dear Parents,

Our Mid-Term Break begins on Monday, 1st June 2026.

During this period, our JSS3 students will be writing their Junior WAEC Examination.

As they leave home each day for their exams, please remember them in your prayers. Say a word of encouragement to them. Pray with them before they leave home each morning.

Your prayers, support, and kind words mean a lot. They can boost a child's confidence and help them give their very best.

We also encourage you to pray for peace in our nation and remember those who are currently going through difficult situations, especially the teachers, students, and families affected by recent security challenges in our country.

As a school, we stand in faith and pray for all our children:

🙏 May God grant them wisdom, understanding and a sound mind as they write their examinations.

🙏 May they remember all they have been taught and express themselves clearly and confidently. May fear, anxiety, and confusion be far from them..

🙏 They will go out safely each day and return home safely. No evil, danger or harm shall come near them throughout this examination period.

🙏 May their efforts be rewarded with good success and excellent results.

Amen.

📌 Please note that, by God's grace, school will resume on Monday, 8th June 2026.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

Warm regards,

From all of us at
Marble Hill School, Asaba .

Keep shining, keep learning,

A few days ago, a teacher said something that stayed in my mind.

She said:
“Sometimes, I can tell when a child is emotionally stressed from home… even before the child says anything.”

At first, I didn’t fully understand what she meant.

But then she explained.

Some children come to school unusually quiet.
Some get angry easily.
Some struggle to concentrate.
Some suddenly lose confidence.
Some are simply emotionally tired.

And many times, it has nothing to do with intelligence.

Sometimes, they are only reacting to the emotional atmosphere around them.

💙 Dear Parents,

This weekend and beyond, please take care of yourselves too.

A lot of parents are carrying so much these days.

Work stress.
Money pressure.
Family responsibilities.
Trying to stay strong for everybody.

And sometimes, in the middle of taking care of everyone else, parents forget about themselves.

Children notice more than we think.

They notice tension.
They notice constant shouting.
They notice sadness.
They notice when home no longer feels peaceful.

Children may not fully understand what adults are going through, but emotionally, they often feel it.

And sometimes, it affects them quietly.

The truth is, a child’s wellbeing is connected to the wellbeing of the parent too.

So please:
Rest when you can.
Talk to someone when you’re overwhelmed.
Laugh with your children sometimes.
Spend time with them beyond correction and school work.

You do not have to be a perfect parent.

Children grow better in homes where there is love, patience, peace, and emotional safety. ❤️

Have a lovely weekend.

📊 Research shows that about 90% of a child’s brain develops before the age of 5.

💙 Dear Parents,

Your child’s first teacher is you.

The way you talk to them…
the way you listen…
the stories you tell…
the little hugs, corrections, encouragement, and everyday moments…

all these things shape who they are becoming.

Children learn a lot before they even fully understand what school is.

They learn love.
They learn confidence.
They learn how to speak.
How to express themselves and how to feel safe.

So beyond school fees and uniforms, please give your children time too.

Talk with them.
Read with them.
Play with them.
Encourage them.
Let them grow in an environment where they feel loved and heard.

Sometimes, the little things parents do early in a child’s life make the biggest difference later on.

Wishing you a lovely week ahead.

A parent once looked at a child’s result sheet and said:

“See your cousin’s result. Why can’t you ever do this well?”

The child didn’t say anything.
Just quietly collected the result and walked away.

But sometimes, moments like that stay with children longer than most adults realize.

Because after hearing comparisons repeatedly, some children stop seeing themselves as “improving.”

They simply start seeing themselves as:
“the less intelligent one.”
“the weak one.”
“the disappointing one.”

And once a child begins to believe that, confidence slowly starts to disappear.

In schools, you notice it in different ways.

Some children become unusually quiet.
Some are afraid to answer questions even when they know the answer.
Some give up too quickly.
Some stop trying altogether because they already expect to be compared again.

The painful part is that many parents do not compare out of hatred.

Most times, they genuinely want the child to do better.

But children often do not process comparison as motivation. They process it as rejection.

Dear Parents,

Every child learns differently.
Some children blossom early.
Some take longer.
Some simply need more patience, encouragement, and confidence to grow.

Correction is important.
But children also need to feel accepted while they are still learning and improving.

Because a child who constantly feels “not good enough” may eventually stop believing they can ever become better.

Dear Parents ,

A Child Can Score Well… And Still Not Come First

A child scored 64% and came 14th in class.

The parent’s first reaction was:
“14th? That’s not good.”

But honestly…
did the child truly perform badly?

Not necessarily.

Because class position only shows how a child performed compared to others in that class. It does not always tell the full story.

Sometimes, a child can score well and still rank lower because:
• the class is academically strong
• many students are performing well
• healthy competition exists in that environment

And in many cases, that kind of environment can actually help a child grow faster.

Sometimes parents focus so much on “position” that they forget to look at progress.

Because education is not only about:
“Who came first?”

It is also about:
✓ understanding
✓ improvement
✓ consistency
✓ confidence in learning

A child can come 1st in a weak class and still struggle in a stronger one.

So maybe the conversation should not only be:
“What position did my child take?”

Maybe we should also ask:
• Is my child improving?
• Does my child truly understand the work?
• Is my child learning in a healthy academic environment?

Because real progress is not always reflected by class position alone.

📊 Studies have shown that every additional year of secondary education for a girl can significantly improve her future opportunities and earning potential.

Dear Parents 💙

When you keep your daughter in school, you are doing more than preparing her for exams.

You are helping her build confidence.
You are opening doors for her future.
You are reminding her that her dreams are valid and possible.

Every girl deserves the chance to learn, grow, and become the very best version of herself.

Let us continue to guide them with love, support them with patience, and encourage them to believe in their potential.

The future becomes brighter when we educate and empower our girls. 🌸

Every parent wants a place where their child can grow with confidence…
where they are not just taught, but guided, encouraged, and understood.

Choosing that kind of environment isn’t always easy, but it’s one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your child.

If you’re still considering the right place for your child, this is a good opportunity to take a step forward.

Our second batch JSS1 entrance exam comes up on:
📅 15th May, 2026
📍 At the school premises
⏰ By 9:00 AM prompt

Your child is welcome to take part in the exam and get a feel of our school.

We look forward to receiving them and wish every child the very best.

Thank you for your trust and support.

Did you know?

Children who read for just 20 minutes a day can learn almost 2 million more words in a year than those who don’t.

Now think about that for a moment…
That’s not just vocabulary.
That’s confidence, expression, and understanding growing quietly every day.

💙 Dear Parent,
Even a few minutes of reading with your child daily can make a big difference.

It helps them:
understand better
express themselves more clearly
and gradually fall in love with learning

Sometimes, it’s not about doing something big…

It’s the small, consistent moments that shape a child’s future.

📚 Tonight, try reading together, even if it’s just for 10–20 minutes.
