The group’s president, Kat. George Wereko-Brobbey (AZ390), stated that  his group members recognised and appreciated the impact the school had made on their lives and that this silver jubilee project was their way of giving back. “Further, even though we have been actively connected through social media platforms, this was an opportunity to actually come together from all over the world, celebrate each other and reminsice over the good old days. It has been great fun”, he said.

The headmaster of the school, Rev. Fr. Stephen Owusu Sekyere, thanked the AZ group for their kind gesture, which he said had helped to make campus more beautiful and attractive, and promised the group that the school will take good care of the facilities for future generations of students.
