Wondering what to look out for in April? Sit back and read through

The Greensprings Football Camp 2026 is back in April! 

We are excited to announce the 12th edition of the Greensprings Football Camp from April 26th to May 1st, 2026. This year, we continue our mission to raise Wonderkids through a world-class footballing experience designed for children who are truly serious about the game.

Registration is officially open to children aged 5 to 17. To begin the registration process, visit the Registration .

This year, we are also doing something special: as part of our One Child, One Opportunity community initiative, we are inviting parents to sponsor a child from their neighbourhood, church, estate, or local team to attend the camp.

For many of these children, this will be their first experience of professional coaching, structured mentorship, and the kind of environment that builds confidence and character. Some parents are already coming together in small groups to sponsor one child, so no one has to do it alone.

If you would like to participate or support, please click . Let’s raise the next generation of wonderkids together.

Valentine’s Day 2026 wasn’t about cards or candy for our U15 boys; it was about the love of the game. At the St. Clair College Canada 7-a-side competition, our Greensprings Lekki stars turned the pitch at Newhall School into a stage for resilience and grit.

The tournament tested our character early. After a narrow 1–0 opening loss to British International School, our boys refused to blink, roaring back with a commanding 3–0 victory over Russell School to secure a semi-final spot. We carried that momentum into the knockout stage, dominating the hosts, Newhall School, with another brilliant 3–0 win to set up a high-stakes final rematch.

The championship match was a 1–1 thriller that pushed both teams to the limit, eventually leading to a penalty shootout. While we finished as runners-up, the true victory came when Greensprings was officially named the “Best Performing Team” of the tournament, a testament to the teamwork and sportsmanship that define us.

The ripples at Rowe Park on February 21, 2026, signalled more than just the start of a race; they marked the birth of a new era for Nigerian swimming. In an exciting partnership with the Lagos State Sports Commission, the inaugural Dolphins Swimming League (Long Course) transformed the Yaba arena into a hub of raw talent and high-stakes competition.

While the pool was crowded with hopefuls, two swimmers turned the water into a stage for pure excellence. Timilehin Olaiya delivered a masterclass in versatility, sweeping four gold medals across the Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, and Individual Medley. Sharing the spotlight, Olufoladara Sokefun demonstrated incredible tenacity, securing a podium finish in three different disciplines to earn a gold, silver, and bronze.

This event wasn’t just about the hardware; it was a celebration of the growing depth in our local aquatic scene. As these athletes continue to push their limits, the league stands as a vital platform for nurturing the next generation of champions.

Across Nigeria are children whose talents are bigger than their circumstances. Many of them carry gifts that could shape our culture and inspire the world. What they often lack is not passion but opportunity.

On December 18th, Greensprings School will unveil the 3D model of the Creative Arts Centre at the Lekki Campus. The unveiling will take place at 4 p.m. and will be held alongside the Secondary and IB End of Year Production. It will be an evening of creativity, culture and celebration, and a moment for guests to see a vision that has been years in the making.

The Creative Arts Centre is a legacy project built on the belief that education should nurture both the mind and the imagination. It has been designed as a multidisciplinary home for music, visual arts, dance, drama, film and design. It will empower young people to explore their talents, build confidence and contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s creative economy.

Although the Centre will serve Greensprings students, its impact reaches far beyond the school. It will provide access and mentorship for young creatives in the Ibeju Lekki axis and wider community. Through workshops, exhibitions and artist in residence programs, the Centre will support young people who need a place where their talent can grow.

Alongside this vision is the continuing fundraising effort for the 50m Olympic size swimming pool, another project created to give Nigerian students a world class training environment. Somewhere in Nigeria is a child who could become the next Michael Phelps in Nigeria. A child whose potential will only shine when given the right space to learn and thrive. Both the Creative Arts Centre and the swimming pool stand for the same belief. Nigeria’s children deserve infrastructure that matches their ambition.

During the unveiling, guests will have the opportunity to see the model up close, connect with others who care about youth development and learn about partnership and donor opportunities for the next phase of construction. It is an invitation to be part of a legacy that will shape generations.

On December 18th, Greensprings School welcomes all who believe in the power of creativity, talent and education to join in this moment of inspiration and possibility.

For alumni who would like to attend, kindly RSVP through the alumni link:
