College Programmes
Career Talk
This features in the school calendar on a termly basis. It is designed to sensitise students about various fields of knowledge and develop pursuable interests in them towards the realisation of their set goals in life. Diverse areas of human endeavours have been explored under the programme. More areas will be covered as the academic session progresses, in shaa Allah.
Field Trips
Excursions are an extension of classroom teaching and learning activities. The school attaches great importance to regular field trips which are aimed at widening the scope and broadening the learning horizon of the students.
Humanitarian Visits
In order to demonstrate the spirit of care and compassion for the less privileged as taught by our religion, students of Crescent College pay humanitarian visits to orphanages every term. Chief among the regularly visited homes are Bab-es-Salam Home, Ikeja and the Lagos State Motherless Babies’ Home, Lekki. Lots of gift items and relief materials are presented during the visits. The School Management had been commended by the homes for its consistency in this.
Similarly, our students visit the inmates of the Ikoyi Prison. On arrival, they are received by the Public Relation Officer of the Prison who enlightens them on the composition of the Nigerian Prison Service and the different divisions and departments therein. He advises students to be cautious with the way they conduct themselves in the society, stressing that trivial issues can lead one to the prison if care is not taken. They would move round the yard sighting different facilities such as a Study Centre donated by Muharram Sisters, an Islamic charity organisation, the Skill Acquisition Centre wherein trades such as carpentry, shoemaking, tailoring, catering etc. are taught and learnt, the cells, the Mosque, the Clinic and the Admin Block. Students would hand over food stuff, toiletries, provisions, Islamic literature and other gift items to the Management Committee of the Prison Mosque . A lecture for the inmates’ rehabilitation would be delivered by an accompanying teacher. Parents are appreciated for their usual generous donations and regular contributions towards the success of the visit.
