CONSTRUCTION OF NEW ASSEMBLY HALL BEGINS

Tuesday, June 7, 2005

Construction has started at the area where the demolished Slaughter house once stood. The Slaughter House has made way for construction of the new Assembly Hall and a classroom block for the science and business students who have been dislocated with the demolition of the Slaughter House.

The historical Slaughter house is no more

The current Assembly Hall, named for Headmaster Osae by Headmaster Sackey, was created for 800 people. The large number of students (approximately 2400) requires that a new facility be built for students, who often have to stand outside the hall and stretch their necks like ostritches in order to hear proceedings within the hall. The situation has made Sundays the most difficult on campus, as the students have to carry benches from the dining hall to the Osae Assembly Hall.

The historical Slaughter House, which has served Prempeh boys as national Examination center for the Cambridge School Certificate, GCE O-Level Exams and now the SSSCE Exams, where many records have been set and broken, and dreams shattered, is no more.

Prempeh.org is proud to have had the foresight to photograph this historical monuments before its demise.

Meanwhile, the boys held a blood donation drive today.

The Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital has said that, it would meet blood demand by the end of the year. In pursuit of this goal, they require people to donate blood to the KATH Blood Bank. They have started going to secondary schools to get blood from people who will willingly donate. Their train today stopped at Prempeh College which happens to be the first college where they are starting this project. The students today showed the true essence of Suban ne Nimdee and donated very well at the Dining hall where the event took place.
