We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Madam Olayemi Platt, a senior community stakeholder for donating to the school a mini solar lamp in support of our pupils (SSS3) who are staying in school to prepare for their examinations. Her generosity is very much appreciated. The school administration has always been grateful to Miss Pratt for the steadfast commitment to our Extra Mile school
In preparation for the 2025 WASSCE, which will begin on May 5th for our school, seven of our eight girls joined the 14 boys who have been camping in school for almost 3 months now. This year, students seem to be determined, just as the 9 legends. Thanks to the teachers who have been sacrificing to come and support them.
This was the school's first ever Foundation Day celebration and Thanksgiving service in the school. It was a very memorable day for all involved.
Despite the growing anxiety over the threat of EVD, and it is very real, we can still continue life here, almost as normally as we can and respond to those everyday strains that continue to challenge us.
