Closing Assembly Report

CLOSING ASSEMBLY

It began with an Opening Prayer by the College Chaplain Rev. Erasmus Laryea as has been the tradition. He then exhorted the students as they go to celebrate the christmas holidays and stressed more particularly on "illicit sex" and the temptation to sin during christmas holidays which is full of vanities. He then asked the students to always remember the meaning of christmas and eschew all forms of evil.

Some announcements were given by the Assistant Headmasters and the Senior Housemaster. The Snr. Housemaster warned students to abide by all the rules and implored the students to continue studying even as they go home since they learnt little this term.

He said stringent punishment will be meted out to students who fail to turn up on the day of reopening and for all roll-calls next term.

The College Anthem was then sung by the whole school and the college flag lowered by the cadet prefects.

Headmaster's Message:

He began by thanking all the students for a successful 2006/7 Academic Year. He then went on to praise the webmaster of the best collegiate website in Ghana, Senior Harold Ofori for his immense contribution towards the development of Prempeh College. He said he was highly impressed by the work that "one man" is doing for the school. "The educational fair was a success as there were no bad incidents. I am really grateful to the organisers for the time and money as well as energy spent in making it a success," he said. This is about the third time the Headmaster had publicly praised the prempeh.org founder at a school closing or reopening assembly.

He went on to express his gratitude to the students for their behaviour on the day of the fun fair which portrayed a typical sense of "suban ne nimdee."

The headmaster nonetheless cautioned the SRC and the prefects body not to plead on behalf of the students as there would never be a mid-term for them next term. He also promised to give out this year's edition of The Stool (i.e. Prempeh Magazine) to all students next term.

Prefects address:

The senior prefect also on his part advised the students to lead decent lifestyles as they go for the christmas holidays. Senior Francis Ainoo also told the winners of the prempeh.org SRC basketball competition and essay contest that they would receive their prizes on the 8th of January during the opening ceremony along with certificates.

Closing Prayer:

The closing prayer was said by the student Chaplain. MHB 870 was then sung and there was a benediction by the Chaplain.
