Old students asked to support alma mater

The headmaster of Okuapeman Senior High School in the Eastern Region, Mr Daniel Afari, has called on old students of the school to endeavour to make meaningful contributions to the development of their alma mater.

He said most old students of the school owed their successes in life to the strong foundation and discipline acquired from the school, stressing that, "I will therefore take this opportunity to call on all past students of this great school to always remember us since we need you to continue where our forefathers left us".

Mr Afari made the call when the Class of 1970 presented a projector and its accessories worth GHC 103,000 to the school.

The equipment, which would be installed at the A.A. Dadey Hall, would be used to project hymns during church services and other occasions such as speech and prize giving days, home coming events, entertainments and for other educational purposes.

Appreciation

Mr Afari thanked the Class of 1970 for the gesture and gave the assurance that the items would be put to good use to promote and facilitate teaching and learning in the school.

He also commended the parent -teacher association of the school for supporting the construction of an 18 unit two-storey classroom block worth GHC 1,500,00, for the school.

The prefect of the class of 1970, Mr Yaw Yirenkyi Atuah, thanked the school for inculcating discipline in them to make them responsible citizens.

The National President of the school’s Old Students Association, Mr John Attafuah, said the association had lined up a number of projects to be executed during the 60th anniversary of the school.

The chairman of the board of governors of the school, Osabarima Ansah Sasraku, urged the old students to use their rich background to assist the school in its developmental agenda.
