Starfield College, located in Fagba area of Lagos State, has rounded off the 2025 academic year on a high note with a colourful Christmas party that brought together students, parents, staff and invited guests to celebrate the school’s achievements and milestones recorded throughout the year.
The Director of Studies (DOS), Starfield College, Mr. Chris Eigbe, gave reasons for organising the Christmas Carol and party every December for students, parents and staff.
Eigbe, while speaking at the 2025 annual Christmas Carol and party, stated that the event is an avenue to appreciate God for His grace, favour and protection for the year, adding that it is also to thank God for a successful academic year, loyalty and performance of the teachers and parents’ patronage.
He revealed that the school started the party in 2014, adding, “our children love this festival period. We blend it with the Christmas Carol.”
He stated further, “The children love it, they are over excited. The two events comes at the end of every academic session. The school organizes the Xmas party and Carol because it serves as a form of thanksgiving to God, for a successful year. The occasion brings the college management, the children, staff and parents together to celebrate and unwind after going through rigours and successful academic sessions.”
Eigbe noted that students of the college did well in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and are already admitted in various universities.
In her remarks, the College Principal, Mrs. Sara Oyinloye, said the school is celebrating two things, Christmas and the end of a successful academic sessions gap with outstanding students’ performance.
Said she, “Christmas is in the air and students and parents can feel it. We want to thank God for the success recorded in 2025 and thus, we need to celebrate together as one big family.
“We have gathered to thank God for His grace and academic performance of our students. The presence of parents is an indication that we are one family and they are happy with the college because of their children’s performance. We want to assure our parents that we will continue to give our best to the children. They are the reason we are here.”
A parent of the school, Dr. Ziza Senewo, said that her kids always look forward to the annual Christmas party and Carol. “The school is doing well. It is good to bring together parents, the children and staff to celebrate Christmas together. You can see that the children and parents are having great fun,” Dr. Senewo said.
