The school’s Old Students Association (HOSA) has therefore pledged to lead efforts in addressing the needed infrastructure issues.
Mr Daniel Aidoo, the Headmaster of the School, at the 50th Anniversary launch, highlighted a significant accommodation crisis, particularly for girls, with the 1,205 female students placing enormous pressure on the current infrastructure.
He said there was the urgent need for the construction of a new girls’ dormitory and additional classroom furniture, to support the school’s transition to the single-track programme which required accommodating up to 2,100 students.
Mr Aidoo also drew attention to the school’s outdated kitchen facilities, where staff were still using firewood for cooking and asked for an intervention.
Mr Kofi Arhin, the President of HOSA, stated that the old students had outlined the pressing needs and the plans to tackle the infrastructure challenges of the school among others and affirmed the Association’s commitment towards supporting the school.
He detailed several projects that the Association had already undertaken which included the construction of the school’s main gate, provision of water storage thanks, and the establishment of an infirmary with beds and medication.
Mr Arhin identified the construction of a fence wall as a top priority, to combat encroachment on school land and confirmed that a modern kitchen was also high on their list of priorities.
He appealed to his fellow alumni, corporations, and partners to contribute financially towards these projects.
The Jubilee celebrations, which will run from November 24 to 30, 2025, would have series of activities including cleaning exercises, games, and counselling sessions to inspire students.
The focus on infrastructure and the proactive stance of the Old Students Association has become a central theme for the week-long celebration.
