Ancilla Primary & Junior High School (AP&JHS) emerged Champions in the 2025 Junior Sharks Quiz, a prestigious academic competition for basic schools in Ghana, held at the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) Hall in Adabraka as they represented the Ga East Municipality.
The Junior Sharks Quiz is an annual nationwide academic competition organised by the Academic Talent Development Programme (ATDP). It assesses pupils in four key areas: Literacy, Numeracy, Social Literacy, Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM).

Over 100 schools registered for the competition. Ancilla competed among the top 24 schools selected by the Quiz Board and advanced through the knockout stages to the final round to emerge as Junior Sharks Champions.
The following students represented the school in this year’s contest: Ama Nyantah – Literacy Contestant, Ariel Naatu – Numeracy Contestant, Diamond Kish – STEM Contestant, Emmanuel Asante – STEM/Numeracy Contestant and Worlanyo Awadzi – Social Literacy Contestant.
The Headmistress of Ancilla Primary & Junior High School, Rev. Sister Susanna N. Amuh, expressed her quiet confidence and pride in her team since their goal was the ultimate crown.
She further acknowledged the exceptional abilities of the contestants- some of whom she personally taught in primary and praised their brilliance and consistency.
“This victory serves as a reminder that greatness comes through preparation, discipline, and belief in one’s potential,” she said.
She advised the contestants and entire pupils to stay focused, committed, and never stop striving for excellence.
According to Sister Susanna, “This year’s edition was particularly special as it coincided with the school’s Silver Jubilee celebration- 25 years: A Journey of Knowledge, Love and Service.”
”The entire Ancilla staff were filled with joy, pride, and gratitude,” she noted.
