Old Students refurbish Dining Hall

Members of the 1991 Year Group of Saint Augustine’s College in Cape Coast, are refurbishing the school’s Dining Hall at a cost of 399,380 Ghana Cedis (105,000 Dollars).

The project is the group’s modest contribution towards their alma mater’s 86th Anniversary celebration.

Speaking at the Anniversary launch in Accra under the theme: ’Leadership and Self-Development in the Twenty-First Century,’

Mr Cornelius Adu-Mpiani, Chairman of the Augustine Past Students Union (APSU) 1991 Project Committee, disclosed that every active member of that year group was contributing one thousand dollars towards the Dining Hall Project and the 86th Anniversary.

Mr Adu-Mpiani was optimistic that the support of old boys and friends, would go a long way to give the Dining Hall a face-lift.

Mr Robert Orraca-Tetteh, APSU ’91 Convener, appealed to all APSUNIANS and friends of APSU, to support the renovation of the Dining Hall.

‘We are offering you the opportunity to sponsor a built-to-last table engraved with your name for the Dining Hall,’ the convener assured.

He pledged members’ preparedness to contribute to the school’s Endowment Fund, known as the ‘St Augustine’s College archbishop WT Porter Endowment Fund,’ in order to make the College secure enough funds to maintain not only the Dining Hall, but all other infrastructures.

Mr Joseph Connel, Headmaster of the College, said the authorities were ever prepared to give the students sound, moral, intellectual training, to enable them take up responsible positions in society in the near future.

Mr Connel commended old students of the College for their continuous support, and promised that the authorities would do all that they could to give the students sound moral education.

Dr Anthony Osei, an old boy of the 1980 Year Group, and Chairman for the occasion, pledged the support of APSUNIANS towards the success of the College’s 86th Speech and Prize-Giving Day slated for Saturday, March 19, 2016.
