Apam SHS PTA to assist school with projects

Apam (C/R), July 13, GNA – The Parent-Teacher Association of Apam Senior High School has embarked on some projects to make life comfortable for the students.

The projects, estimated at GH¢150,000, includes bath houses, box rooms and incinerators.

Mr Kojo Pratt, Chairman of the School’s PTA announced this at a meeting of the Association at Apam.

He said the increasing student population had made it necessary for extra bath houses and box rooms to be provided.

The PTA Chairman said incinerators, for the disposal of rubbish, would be provided at vantage points to improve on sanitation within the school and its environs.

He appealed to parents to pay their PTA dues promptly for the projects to be completed on time.

Mr Archibold Kobina Fuah, Headmaster, advised parents to let their children know the financial situation of the home.

He said this would enable their children to develop sympathy for them and refrain from making unreasonable demands, and also, make judicious use of whatever the parents provides them.

The Headmaster commended the government for providing the School with three new six-unit classroom blocks, to solve the accommodation problem facing the school, due to the converting of the SHS course duration to four years.

He said the School authorities had intensified its check on indiscipline, as well as on stealing and drug abuse and cautioned that any student caught indulging in such acts would be dismissed.
