Headmaster's Message:
The Assistant Headmaster (Academics), Mr. A.A. Kodua

He began by welcoming all to the 2006/7 Academic Year. The term was to be 14
weeks long effective 11th September to 15th December. The term was to be
full of activities. Some students who were just unable to make the passmark
had been granted an "amnesty" and promoted. He cautioned that for this
Academic year, the passmark will be strictly 50 with at worst 3F's and not
49.9. Any student with 4F's will be withdrawn. He called for hard work and
effective planning from the students. He said that truant students for the
past academic year will be handed over to the College Chaplain for
counseling. He also announced that students who wrongly addressed their
report envelopes will be dealt with in due time.
There were going to be two general exams this term in the 4th and 8th weeks.
He admonished students to take class assignments serious. All classes were
compulsory for students.
The end of term exams will take place in the 1st week of December.
He cautioned that though teachers are on strike, all students are to stay in
their classrooms during class hours and revise their notes. He declared an
Operation 100% WASSCE.
