The 1983-year group of the Holy Child Senior Secondary School at Cape Coast in the Central Region has donated a new block to its alma mater to help enhance the quality of teaching and learning.
The block located in the heart of the school forms part of the group’s pledge to support infrastructure to enhance the quality of education.
The donation is also part of activities to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1983-year group reunion celebrations since the members completed the school.
President of the year group, Prudence Danso-Dapaah in a statement said the remarkable initiative aligns with the year group’s vision of empowering students and giving back to society and Alma mater.
“We believe that every child deserves access to quality education and a nurturing learning environment. By donating this building, we aim to make a lasting impact on the lives of students and contribute to the overall development of our community,” Ms. Danso-Dapaah said.
The new facility he indicated was a result of collaborative efforts amongst all the members of the year group, the local community, and dedicated partners who share the passion for education.
The group emphasized that it embarked on the project to create this storage space where staff can organize the stock orderly, clean environment, recognizing the critical role good health and welfare in education plays in shaping the lives of young minds.
