The Proprietress and CEO of the school, Ms. Magdalene Dzifa Adzanu, urged the pupils to fuse their “creative skills with hard work as they grow up”
“The combination of creativity and innovation is essential and brings about progress…for examples, like a football team, eleven creative players cannot play if there is no hard work put into the team,” she said.
Mr Pius Hadzide, the CEO of the National Youth Authority (NYA) in his address charged educational institutions to train students with the required skills needed on the job market in order that they would not be rendered unemployed after school.

Similarly, Veron Preparatory School, at Mataheko in Accra held its 25th graduation ceremony with a call on parents to maintain and instill social values in their children to promote social harmony.
Furthermore, parents have been urged to devote quality time to their children in view of their busy schedules at workplace and market.
It was held under the theme: “Nurturing Future Leaders with Care and Discipline”.
In a key note address, the Guest Speaker, Madam Emelia Anane-Frimpong, a School Improvement Support Officer (SISO) who made the call, said those binding social values such as offering one’s seat for the elderly, taking off one’s hat to the elderly among others must be restored for the good of society.
She advised parents to constantly instill moral discipline in their children to ensure good upbringing, adding that without discipline one could suffer ill-fated consequences regardless of the person’s social standing.
Madam Anane- Frimpong further urged parents not to neglect the core functions of parenthood but strive to be there for their children at all times.
She advised parents to try hard and meet the educational needs of their children as government alone could not shoulder the responsibility adding that early morning breakfast should also be given to them before leaving for school.
The Headmaster of the school, Mr. Evans Osei Agyemang said nurturing the children who were the future leaders with care and discipline was the core focus of the school.
He said the school would from next term introduce Arabic language at the basic level which would give the children a firm foundation to build their academic aspirations, stressing that Arabic language was gaining global significance for business communication.
In a closing remark, the Assembly Member of Gbortsui Electoral Area, Mr Emmanuel Quaye asked parents never to relent in caring for their children.

The attention of the Ministry of the Interior has been drawn to information that the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, has survived two assassination attempts while discharging his duties to the Republic.
According to the ministry in a statement, the Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor, Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko, mentioned the assassination attempt on Newsfile, a television station in Accra, on December 6, 2025.
He also claimed on the same programme that he had been handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.
“Beyond the security implications of these claims, such dangers to personnel of accountability institutions, if true, can undermine the government’s efforts to combat corruption, which have intensified since it took office,” the ministry stated,
The Ministry has therefore taken up the matter with the seriousness it deserves with some preliminary findings on the alleged assassination attempt.
The ministry revealed that initial contacts with Mr. Kissi Agyebeng have revealed that the assassination attempts on him, as claimed, happened before this year.
“There is no record or report of such threats against his life at any police station or at any of the state security agencies in the country,” the statement further added.
Against this backdrop, the Minister of Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak has further directed that “Since crime does not expire, the Ministry has ordered a full-scale investigation into the claim of assassination attempts.”
The Ministry has also ordered an investigation into the claim by Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko that he was handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.
The Ministry noted that it will update the public on the outcome of these investigations and the actions to be taken.
The Ministry of Interior has reiterated its commitment to protecting all lives and properties to ensure that all Ghanaians can conduct their lawful affairs without any fear for their safety.
