Talking about unique ICONS....

Bolanle Olubunmi

Mrs Bolanle Olubunmi was the founder of lmperial Gate School. She started her career as a teacher in Corona School, Victoria Island in 1994 and rose to become the Deputy Head in Victoria Island School and Head Teacher of Corona School Apapa. In September 2003, she became the Head Teacher of Corona School, Ikoyi, a position she held until her resignation in July 2007.

Her commitment to high quality and wholesome education for children goes beyond the confines of the classroom and the margins of school walls. What started for her as a simple love and desire to help as many children as possible maximise their potentials and fulfill their destiny culminated in the realisation of this great and wonderful journey called Imperial Gate School.

The idea of establishing Imperial Gate School was nursed for many years and finally birthed in 2007 as an institution that will provide the platform for every child to release all the potentials within, instill self-confidence, self-worth and a positive outlook to life thus producing the 360° excellent child

She was a fantastic  mentor who had extremely high expectations and standard and never gave tasks that she herself was not leading. Bola Olubunmi was the  first of the 2 Headteachers that I was deputy to.

I miss her.
