The East Airport International School (EAIS) in Accra has held its 22nd Founders’ Day with series of colourful activities.
The event themed: ‘’Acquiring the habit of discipline for life and academic success’ saw pupils and students of the school in several performances in arts, science and sports.
In an address to mark the day, Wing Commander Hilda Akuoko Adjei of the Ghana Air Force, said that it was important to make discipline a habit in all spheres of life.
She said: “In the realm of academic success, discipline manifests in various ways, including regular attendance to classes, diligent study habits, seeking assistance when needed, and a commitment to lifelong habits.’’
Wing Commander Adjei, however, said that discipline extends beyond the confines of the classroom and school grounds, adding that “it permeates every aspect of our lives, influencing our relationships, careers, and personal growth. Even in moments of worship or online interactions, discipline should play a pivotal role.”
She urged the pupils and students to see discipline as a mindset and make conscious efforts to prioritise their long-term goals over short-term gratifications, adding “It requires embracing discomfort and uncertainty, understanding and growth beyond comfort zones.’’
Wing Commander Adjei charged the pupils and students to see discipline as character and personality trait that must and should be developed and not a burden.
The pupils and students of the school that runs Cambridge International Programmes, as part of the celebration, engaged in science and food exhibition, football match, dancing, taekwondo, among others.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
