Old Students of St Pauls Methodist Junior High School (SPOSA) in Tema, together with current students and staff, over the weekend, cleaned up their school to signify the beginning of activities marking the institution’s 20th anniversary celebrations.

Over 150 students and staff members of the school took part in the clean-up exercise.

There was also an interactive session between the present and past students, during which the old students shared their life experiences and encouraged the new ones to respect and obey their teachers and school regulations and also take their studies seriously.

The students were further told to avoid bad habits such as smoking, stealing and premarital sex:

The President of the 1994 Year Group of Students, Mr Stephen Elorm Bimpeh, said the school had produced a number of men and women of high standing, some of whom were lawyers, bankers, pharmacists, real estate developers, journalists, brand and investment consultants, building contractors, IT consultants, US Navy personnel, educationists, medical doctors and consultants in the hospitality industry.

He gave a talk on the theme, “Giving Back”, and outlined the activities that were to be embarked on. The activities include a career fair and the launch of the Grace Lokko Foundation, a foundation named after Madam Grace Lokko, a former Headmistress of the school. There will also be a distribution of awards and scholarships and competitive games, among others.

The Headmaster of the school, Mr Sylvester Asiedu, expressed gratitude to the 1994 year group of students for their assistance to the school.

He said the doors of the school were always open to them. He appealed for financial assistance from old students l for some of the current students who genuinely faced financial difficulties and as such found it hard to pay their school fees.
