Braveaurora Staff Undergo Training in Team Building and Communication

The staff of Braveaurora last Friday received a training on Team Building and Communication from Skylimit Consult; a group of experts focused on organisation development. The very educative and fun-filled training hosted core staff of Braveaurora and representatives of Skylimit Consult.

The training started with an ice-breaking game stressing the values of teamwork and communication. There were several takeaways from the game as it reminded the players of the quintessence of planning, focus, communication, trust and support. Players also had the opportunity to give and take feedback-- another essential team building block.

Team members were subsequently taken through key concepts and terms including; the meaning and scope of teams, team building, groups, group dynamics, trust ,determination, success and communication. Practical examples on the enumerated terms were given. The training also took a closer look at the various roles of participants in the team and ways to overcome their everyday challenges.

The session ended with yet another group game on trust and nonverbal communication. In this game, blindfolded participants had to trust the direction and guidance of other team members in going through obstacles within a set timeframe. The game was very revealing and helpful to the groups.

Team members were overjoyed by the wonderful work and made assurances to transfer the learnings to their work.

Disbursment of Termly Scholarships to Students

Pursuant to BA´s commitment to incentivize students who have displayed excellent performance in their terminal exams at the School Level, BA instituted the termly scholarship package to be awarded to deserving students at the end of every academic term. Beneficiaries of the scholarship are required to score a Minimum of 80% in all the core subjects (English, Mathematics and Science). Equally significant to the requirements is for the pupil to obtain an aggregate score of 80% at the end of the
academic term. At the core of this initiative is to promote healthy competition and award excellence.

With the closure of the first term of 2017/18 academic year, the much anticipated presentation of scholarship packages to eligible students was held on the 29th of March, at the forecourt of the Guabuliga Schools. In the presence of their caregivers/parents, the qualified students were clothed with so much joy and pride. Qualifying students were presented with school bags, books, pens, pencils and new pair of school uniform. In all, a total of 19 students qualified, with 15 coming from the Primary and 4 qualifying from the JHS. Segregating the total figure into sex, 8 pupils were girls and the remaining 11 being boys.

The Beauty of the presentation would certainly be incomplete without the cheers and wailing from the students in solidarity. The resounding applause from their peers communicated their desire and reassurance of a better competition in the coming terminal exams. Parents could not hide their delight and pride in their wards' achievements. Caregivers/parents and teachers shared with BA their appreciation and assured of improved performance and an increase in qualified students. Braveaurora is proud to be associated with this. BA congratulates all the winners and wish the rest the best in their desire to achieve this feet.
