70th anniversary cloth, logo unveiled by Wesley Grammer Old Students Association
The Wesley Grammar Old Students Association (WESGOSA), last Saturday unveiled its 70th anniversary cloth and logo for its celebration set for 2026.
The unveiling was done by Mr Alexander Konadu and Mr Proper Bani, the National Security Advisor to President John Dramani Mahama.
Saturday’s event was part of activities lined up for the launch of the Wesley Grammar Senior High School (SHS) 70th anniversary celebrations on the theme ‘70 Years of Holistic Methodist Education: The Role of Stakeholders in Embracing the New Technology of the Future.’
Speaking at the launch, the Headmistress of the school, Mrs Barbara Juliet Takyiwaa Thompson, said the school was faced with a number of challenges despite producing prominent individuals in society since its establishment.
Some of the challenges she highlighted were the stalled 12-unit classroom block, lack of an ultra-modern Assembly Hall, administration block, refurbished science laboratories, a school and duty bus, staff bungalows and flats, the asphalting of the inner roads of the school, and the lack of adequate dormitories.
According to her, addressing these challenges would enhance teaching and learning.
Mrs Thompson paid homage to the founding fathers of the school for laying the foundation and also thanked the Gbawe Kwatei Royal Family for the release of land for the establishment of a school.
Speaking on the theme, Mr Bani underscored the need to blend investment in technology with the school’s enduring Methodist values of discipline, service, and integrity.
“We live in an age where technology is reshaping every aspect of our lives-how we learn, work, and engage with the world. Artificial Intelligence, robotics, digital learning platforms, and global connectivity are redefining education and human interaction,” Mr Bani stated.
He, therefore, urged all stakeholders, including teachers, students, alumni, parents, the church, and society, to embrace the new technologies to enhance education delivery at the school.
Mr Bani advised parents and alumni to guide students in responsible use of new technologies and also invest, mentor, and support them to ensure that the school thrive in the new digital era.
For his part, the Executive Director of the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) and an alumni of the school, Professor Peter Quartey, appealed for renewed alumni support to drive the school’s development.
