Members of the 1999 year group of Accra Academy have renovated the school’s staff common room.
A handing over ceremony was recently organised in the school located at Kaneshie in Accra.
The project cost GHS55,000 and was in fulfilment of a promise by the 1999 year group following an appeal from the management of the school.
The amount covered the cost of providing four air-conditioners, a 55-inch television set and another 43-inch size, a refrigerator, rewiring of the entire room, the entire makeover of furniture, painting as well as tiling the floor and the provision of blind curtains among many other expenses.
The handing over of the project was to climax activities to commemorate 20 years since the 1999 year group graduated from the school.
The president of the 1999 year group, Yao Anani Kuwornu at the event praised the teachers for their selflessness and made special mention of the then headmistress, Beatrice Lokko whom he said was firm and showed passion.
“As a climax to our 20th-anniversary celebration, we are delighted to be able to give back by refurbishing the staff common room,” he noted.
On his part, the current headmaster, Reverend William Foli Garr called on other past students to emulate the example of the 1999 year group.
He further called on the current students to take good care of the school’s logistics urging them to do away with behaviours that tend to destroy school facilities since such destructions only contribute to widening the infrastructure needs of the school.
