3 schools qualify for Cadet TV Personality Awards Grand Finale
Three schools have advanced to the grand finale of the Cadet TV Personality Awards following a keenly contested competition held in Accra last Friday.
The finalists- Blessed Home School and Crèche (Kwabenya), Sayork Heritage School, and Covenant Presbyterian School – emerged from a pool of 40 schools after an intense nomination stage.
The Cadet TV Personality Awards is a unique initiative aimed at empowering young people through media. The programme gives school children the opportunity to act as professional broadcasters, delivering live TV news bulletins on set. Participants are assessed on their confidence, presentation skills, and news reporting abilities.
A key highlight of the event was a special Safety Segment featuring ADO1 Leticia A. Akaadiini of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and Captain Nicholas Appiagyei from the 37 Military Hospital.
Serving as adjudicators and resource persons, they engaged the student anchors on fire safety and health, providing valuable insights and equipping them with practical knowledge to share with viewers.
The Cadet TV Personality Awards seeks to nurture the next generation of media professionals by offering hands-on experience in a real television setting, while also building confidence and communication skills among school children.
The competition now enters its public voting phase, which will culminate in the Grand Finale and Awards Ceremony in September 2025, where the ultimate winners will be crowned
