Headmaster of the school, George Oduro Yeboah, told spynewsagency.com that guardians and parents of the pupils are contacted before permission is granted to students to leave campus and again contacted to ensure their arrival.

In a related development, the 1982 year group of the school?s old students association have presented a set of computers to the school. The items worth an undisclosed amount are aimed at ameliorating teaching and learning of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the school.

Receiving the items, the headmaster mentioned lack of Assembly Hall as a major challenge of the school. He appealed to all past students, philanthropists and the government to aid in completing the ongoing projects of the school.

A Graphic Designer tutor in the school, Mr. Robert Morkeh urged teachers and students had to make sacrifice when doing practical subjects.
