Preston International School celebrated the 50^th Anniversary of Nigeria’s Independence in grand style. In school, pupils and staff enjoyed a parade embellished with colourful music by the school’s brass and marching band. Out of school, we joined other school’s at the Akure-North Local Government Headquarters at Iju-Itaogbolu where we participated in the March Past competition and the school choir rendered the Hallelujah Chorus under the directorship of the proprietor which was later aired on the television. Preston came first in the secondary category of the March Past competition. Hooray!
