Traditional Satanism is not simply an inversion, but a complete rejection of the images of a
0244908520particular culture, religion, or philosophy. From there a Satanist uses those images against the ethos itself, that was once his own conditioning. Persons who participate in traditional Satanic masses sometimes experience a king of 'sartori', a sudden enlightenment, to an increase in their own consciousness, and feeling stronger and satisfied because they had broken with the constraining opposites. In other words, at its highest level Satanism uncovers what the ethos of a particular community or society has covered up through images, dogma, words and ideas, returning the individual to the primal chaos out of which 'opposites' were created." ~ Magister Hagur, Temple of Atazoth Office

This headmaster did exactly what thousands of govt. officials, the police, and many others do everyday. He is just a scapegoat for the self-righteous who also benefit from the pervasive corruption in our society.

It's rather unfortunate that Sotosi is saying that the headmaster was implementing the decision by the PTA to collect the said amount before releasing admission letters to the students .The headmaster must go and explain where the PTA got the permission to instruct the headmaster to do so .We hope the matter will be dealt swiftly to serve as deterrent to the greedy ones who always use the new admission as the cocoa season .The GES needs out commendation and needs to widen their nets to catch the greedy ones .

Mr Sotosi what you seem not understand is the fact that even if he is implementing PTA approved decision, that decision taken at the PTA meeting still needs approval from the GES. That is the policy and the headmaster should know that. You can't use that PTA approved decision as a pre-requisite of offering admission to students who have been duly placed in your school. These students who have been placed that their parents were not involved in that decision so using that to deny any duly qualified and placed in your school was out of order and the headmaster who some old students and parents say is honest person should have used the right channel to implement that policy. I know the current GES leadership is too political but you can use that to flout policies any how.

Mr Kay & co, first, it is unambiguous, open public knowledge that the computer placements has been bastardized. Therefore, there is nothing like duly qualified and placed. Most of the placements were influenced by nepotism, cronyism and bribery. I know what I am talking about. Second, You shouldn't discount the contribution of PTA. They have made some of these schools what it is today for WAEC, GES and surrogates to corruptly place. I insist that the fees are PTA approved and so you shouldn't make scapegoat out of the headmaster.

Thank you fellow APSU, we the old students are solidly behind him. The secretariat is in touch with PTA working on the background. The man is too good to let go, he will be re-instated to continue his good job.

Dear Papa,

The issue is not about Joseph Connel who was my junior and dorm-mate. It is about the respect for and compliance with the laws of the country. Let us allow the GES to investigate and come out with their findings. I trust that some lawyers amongst us may even defend him pro bono.
What we should not under no circumstances indulge in, is oldboyism and nepotism.
After all, even Wayome and who ever is implicated in siphoning funds out of government coffers by to the detriment of the nation have their supporters.

Give the Mission schools back to the churches. GES your approved fees will not take care of the children. Either the free SHS is implemented or allow the school do what is right to enable the school function.

GES should not pretend or trying to connive with the ministry. This headmaster will never accept an unapproved fee. He is one of the few who is always against PTA billing of parents. In any case the government approval school fees cannot run a a boarding school for one week. St Augustine's school 30,000.00gh avery for only water bill . GES should not pretend to be holy.

I call on members of CHASS to wake up and see these happenings as a threat to all of them. Especially Cape Coast Schools. Last it was Kwabotwe and now Augustines so who next?. Central CHASS beware. What is the process for sanctioning in this matter? Was the school's Board of Directors consulted, were some teachers and students interviewed, was the PTA leadership interviewed? What is the process for disciplining in the code of conduct of the Ghana Education Service. How does GNAT or NAGRAT see this Rambo style of ministers of education on heads of schools. The only thruthg is that Joseph Conel shall be reinstated and let it be widely announced when the time comes. God Bless.

In Achimota school there are two forms of PTAs and parents pay seperate amounts for each category. Extra fees charged for projects in Achimota is far higher than the entire Govt. approved fees. All the Ministers in Accra including Prof Adu-Gyamfi are aware of what goes on there but they are afraid to say it. If they are not they should dare touch Motwon and face the great Akoras. Please at Augustines the extra fees approved by the PTA being charged is even less than the Gh460 quoted by the Minister. He should have waited for an investigation or the report of the Regional Minister before going public. Be fair to all school in and stop the biases and segregation. God bless.

When does GES release grants for schools to operate? GES should play its role and PTA will only discuss academic performance of students and not build, buy buses etc.

Even if there is corruption in the Computer Selection System it is still better than the former system where a group of people constituted themselves into cliques, in the name of old boysm, to ensure that only their relatives and friends got into the so-called good schools. Today, at least some pupils from the unknown backgrounds also manage to get to some of these schools. All those attacking the new system are the privileged who turned these school into ones reserved for the elite. What they now with the conivance of the School heads is to impose hefty charges in the name of PTA without considering the capacity of other parents. These innocent poor parents are virtually forced to cough out these monies without mercy. Surprisingly most of these heads and PTA executives are pretend to be religious. This sheer wickedness and thievery must cease.

Oboama, that is the more reason why the computer placement is wrong. First of all people should have the freedom to choose schools that they know they can afford. What government should concern itself with is to economically empower citizens so that they can choose the correct schools according to what they can afford. Government should also ensure that all schools are in good shape. Forcing people to go to schools they cannot afford and insisting on no fee paying is not the best way to empower citizens. This policy has watered down the quality of our educational system in Ghana.

I suspect you have no idea what you are talking about. Who told you Augusco is for privileged pupils? Massa, where ever you are, you only need to get aggregate 6, that's it and you get admitted. I came from a village in the western region, I was admitted to the school because I had 11 grade ones out of 12 subjects in my time. I didn't know anybody even in the regional capital, Takoradi let alone any connection in cape coast. Get your facts right before you make statements. In any case, I believe people who have contributed so much to the school must be given protocol to educate their kids in the school. Old students contribute money to buy buses, dinning facilities, sports equipment etc for the students, it's never out of place for them to be considered in admission times.

Papa you are contradicting yourself.
If we make sure our children learn hard and pass their exams like you did, our influence as old boys would not matter.
Let us uphold the principle of equal opportunities for all. We contribute to the sustainance of our alma mater out of love. Our contribution should not serve as entry pass for our wards. It is and must remain OMNIA VINCIT LABOR!

Most headmasters in Cape Coast are doing this. Including Edinaman and UCC
Practice. How do you charge new SSS students feeding cost of C4.3 million for the whole academic term when the kids are coming in for only half a term. I also thought the govt's school feeding program is responsible for feeding fees.

No Internet is available at the UCC Medical School but students are compulsorily made to pay C800 (8 mln) per year for Wifi usage.
So what is the govt doing about this too?

Who has the temerity to bring this action against the headmaster of the oldest Catholic High School on the country. They had better retract or else. Please note that the first African Attorney General Kwaw Swanzy is a product of this illustrious school. Better retract before we find you some real work possibly in the Northern regions.
