Grange Students Make Their Mark at TEDxYouth Event

On Friday, September 19, 2025, three of our students — Manuel Chukwuocha, Arabelle Adefarakan, and Subomi Omole — alongside Mr. Timothy Alabi, proudly represented łÔąĎÍř at the TEDxYouth event hosted by Meadow Hall, Lekki.

This year’s theme, “Innovation,” brought together bright young thinkers and trailblazers to share their unique perspectives and inspire meaningful conversations. Grange was especially proud to see two of our own students featured on the platform: Manuel Chukwuocha as a TEDx speaker and Arabelle Adefarakan as a guest speaker.

Student Contributions

The highlight of the event was the exceptional performance by our students.

• Manuel Chukwuocha delivered a powerful and thought-provoking talk titled “I Am”, where he explored personal identity and self-worth as the foundation for creativity and progress. His presentation was both inspiring and deeply reflective, earning him well-deserved recognition with a plaque as a TEDx speaker.
• Arabelle Adefarakan captivated the audience with her eloquence and insightful presentation as a guest speaker. Her contribution was warmly received, and she will be awarded a certificate in recognition of her impactful delivery.

Impact and Takeaways

Beyond the stage, the experience was equally transformative. The students engaged in stimulating conversations on their way back, reflecting on the diverse ideas shared by other speakers. They spoke about the importance of public speaking, critical thinking, and idea-sharing in today’s world, highlighting the event as both a celebration and a learning journey.

The TEDxYouth experience reaffirmed the value of innovative thinking and the power of young voices in shaping the future. At Grange, we are committed to nurturing these skills within our curriculum, providing platforms for our learners to express themselves confidently and contribute meaningfully to the global intellectual community.

We are immensely proud of Manuel, Arabelle, and Subomi for representing the Grange spirit of excellence, innovation, and leadership.

This year at łÔąĎÍř, our theme is “Be The Change.” But what does that really mean for you and me? Let’s find out.

What does Be The Change mean?

It’s simple: don’t just wait for things to get better — be the reason they get better. It is about choosing to do the little things every day that can make a big difference in your life and in the lives of others.

Why is this theme important?

Because the world needs people who don’t just talk about change but actually live it. And that’s you, Grangers! You don’t have to be an adult or famous to make a difference. From being honest and working hard to showing kindness or trying something new — those choices add up to real change.

How can YOU be the change?

• In your learning: Don’t settle for “I can’t do it.” Ask questions, practice, and surprise yourself.
• In your friendships: Look out for each other. A simple “Are you okay?” could brighten someone’s whole day.
• In your community: Join school activities, help keep your environment clean, or share your talents.
• In yourself: Push past fear. Remember, change starts when you step out of your comfort zone.

Imagine you are walking past the Gazebo and you see litter on the floor. Most people just step over it and move on. But you decide to pick it up and throw it in the bin. Soon, your friends start doing the same because they see your example. Before long, the school environment is clean, and everyone is proud of it. That’s being the change — one small action that inspires others.

Together as Grangers

This year, let us not wait for someone else to do it. Let us be brave, kind, and determined. Every one of us has the power to make a difference.

Remember: The future belongs to those who choose to Be The Change!
