Date: 3rd – 12th June, 2026
Venue: Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre, Shere Hills, Jos
Classes: SS1 and four SS2 learners
From 3rd to 12th June 2026, learners from Yilret Academy Dong took part in an intensive leadership and outdoor training programme at the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre, Shere Hills, Jos.
The training provided our learners with an opportunity to learn outside the classroom while developing important life and leadership skills. The centre offered a range of facilities and activities, including football, volleyball, parachute activities, and other practical exercises.
Our learners participated in challenging activities such as rock climbing, abseiling, cooking with firewood, obstacle courses, emergency tent-making, canoe building, and water travel at a dam. Each activity required courage, cooperation, careful planning, and a willingness to overcome challenges.
The programme was designed to develop teamwork, trust, division of labour, decision-making, time management, and confidence. It also encouraged learners to face their fears and phobias and discover that many challenges can be overcome with courage, preparation, and support from others.
Discipline was another important part of the training. Through Bible teachings and practical lessons, the learners were encouraged to develop good character, self-control, responsibility, and respect for others.
We sincerely appreciate Educators Chindaba Po’enmwa and Noel Habila, the parents of our participating learners, and the dedicated instructors at the training centre for their support and guidance throughout the programme.
At Yilret Academy Dong, we believe that education goes beyond the classroom. Experiences like this help our learners develop the confidence, character, and skills they need to face the future.
