The Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) won the 62nd Independence Day ‘What Do You Know’ Quiz at the Ghana Broadcasting House last Sunday.
Normally not associated with the arts and social sciences, GSTS students once again proved that they have depth, and are well-rounded. GSTS got to the finals by going through a three (3) stage competition and winning them all.
The first stage of the journey started locally with wins over Takoradi-based schools like Archbishop Porters Girls Senior High and Takoradi Senior High.
They proceeded to the Regional Stage to take on schools like St. Augustine’s Senior High School, Bogoso. The semi-final was in the Southern Zone where the boys defeated Academy of Christ the King School from the Central Region.
The finals at the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) Studios brought together the Zonal Champions from around the country, namely: New Edubiase SHS, Notre Dame Seminary, Bishop Herman SHS and Ghana Secondary Technical School, Takoradi. After three (3) rounds, GSTS emerged winners with 25 points, followed by Bishop Herman 20, New Edubiase 16 and Notre Dame Seminary 12.
