A total of 694 students from different levels of the AngloGold Ashanti School in Obuasi have graduated, during which ceremony teachers and deserving students were recognised and given awards.
The graduates comprised 203 KG2 pupils transitioning to primary school, 244 Grade 6 students moving to JHS 1 and 247 graduating JHS students.
The theme for the graduation ceremony last Thursday was: “Pinnacle of Excellence: Shaping the Future for Endless Opportunities.”
The Executive Director of the school, Simon Peter Atta Cato, attributed the school’s successes over the years to a strong relationship and cooperation between the school’s authorities and parents, who are dedicated to maintaining the high standards set by the institution.
He pointed to a well-structured curriculum and maintaining consistency as key driving factors for the school’s achievements in both academic and extracurricular activities, as well as hard work and commitment of the teachers in realizing the vision of the school.
Mr. Cato lauded the efforts of the teachers, noting that their dedication contributed to his recognition as the Most Outstanding Executive Director in the Ashanti Region by the Business Executive Group.
The Municipal Director of Education, George Alfred Koomson, commended the management and teachers of the school for upholding high standards over the years.
Mr. Koomson advised the JHS graduates to use their time wisely while awaiting their BECE results, by researching the courses they wish to pursue at the senior high school level. This, he said, would prepare them adequately for the next phase of their academic journey.
Dr. Kwadwo Anim, the Executive Director of AngloGold Ashanti Health Foundation, who presided over the graduation ceremony, praised the school authorities for their consistency in producing excellent BECE results and industrious graduates over the years.
