Accra, Aug. 24, GNA – Holy Child Senior High School in Cape Coast, has launched her 80th Anniversary celebration in Accra.
The event, which attracted old students and wellwishers, served as an opportunity for socializing, celebrate the school’s academic and transformative achievements, raise funds for more on-campus projects, among others.
Mrs Mary Brown, National Vice President of the Holy Child Old Students Association, said the commemoration of the anniversary would serve as a reminder to always honour the legacy of its founders whose efforts, within eight decades had empowered many women and girls through education.
“As we embark on this journey, we honour the legacy of our founders, who envisioned a school that would empower young women to make a difference in the world.
Today we celebrate the countless lives that have been touched. Minds that have been expanded and futures shaped by our institutions.,”she said.
Madam Linda Appiah, the Headmistress, praised the school’s alumni for their contribution to the infrastructure and logistical progress of the school.
She urged them to do more in order to make the school more self sufficient.
“Our Science Laboratories need further restocking with tools and equipment. The school’s regimental band cannot boast of any instruments. We have to borrow or rent instruments from sister schools wherever the band has to perform.
In the area of sports, our facilities and equipment are calling for a complete replacement. We cannot also lose track of the fact that the school has been blessed with the state-of-the-art ultra-modern library…Let’s all remember that every contribution, every ounce of support brings us closer to the Holy Child School we all want to see,” she said.
Madam Isabel Boateng, the guest of honour, encouraged all old students to give back to the school which had made them what they were today.
