Admonition:

The Minister urged the students to put in their best in their academic studies and asked that they show respect to school authorities.

Hon Asenso urged the girls to demonstrate good morals at all times and study on their own when they get the chance rather than any other thing.

He noted that the government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was committed to giving them a solid foundation in education hence the huge investments in the same by making SHS free for all.

‘’I came here with some chocolates for all of you because for us in Ghana we share the same to demonstrate kindness, selflessness and love for others on this day and I believe the lessons we have learnt would stick with us forever’’, the MP stated.

Projects:
