Divine Mission Academy erupted in a burst of color and cultural expression this weekend as it combined its annual Graduation and Promotion Ceremony with a dazzling Culture and Heritage Day celebration.

The school grounds in Ejisu-Donaso were transformed into a living tapestry of Ghanaian traditions, with students showcasing the nation’s diverse heritage.

From the regal Kente cloth of the Ashanti Region to the Northern smocks and the vibrant prints of the Ewe and Ga people, the students’ attire reflected Ghana’s rich cultural landscape.

The air pulsed with the rhythm of traditional drumming, the energy of spirited dances, and the eloquence of multilingual poetry performances.

Dr Godfred Aawaar, Head of the School, highlighted the event’s importance:
"At Divine Mission Academy, we strive to cultivate not only academic excellence but also a deep sense of cultural pride, unity, and respect for our traditions.

Witnessing our students confidently celebrate their heritage while embracing their future aspirations is truly inspiring and embodies the core values of our institution."

The event began with an invocation by Rev Ebow Esseku, who sought divine guidance for the day’s proceedings. He later offered a closing benediction, blessing the graduating class, dedicated staff, and the supportive community.

The ceremony’s peak came with the recognition of the Junior High School Class of 2025, honored for successfully completing the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). Younger pupils were also celebrated as they advanced to their next grade levels, marking significant milestones in their academic journeys.

Throughout the day, captivating cultural displays from various regions of Ghana enthralled the audience. Each performance became a living lesson in unity, cultural understanding, and national identity.

Parents, teachers, and community members applauded the students’ achievements, celebrating not only their academic progress but also their deep-rooted connection to their heritage.

As the day drew to a close, the echoes of drumbeats and cheers lingered in the air, carrying a powerful message: at Divine Mission Academy, education extends beyond the classroom, nurturing self-confidence, strong values, and a profound bond with one’s cultural roots.

The event stood as a testament to the school’s commitment to producing well-rounded individuals ready to excel in a globalised world while staying firmly grounded in their Ghanaian identity.
