McColin’s Preparatory Centre at Hofedo Number Two in Ho has celebrated its fifth anniversary colourfully.
According to the Proprietress, Ms Susan Aniewu, the centre started with only seven pupils in 2005 but now has 256 pupils, comprising 108 boys and 148 girls.
She said the school had done everything possible to fill the gap that exists between the urban and rural settings and brought education closer to the people living at the outskirts of the town.
Ms Aniewu expressed the hope that enrolment would triple by next year, by which time a junior high school would be established at the centre.
She urged parents to provide the essential needs of their children because it was disheartening to see pupils go to school on empty stomachs, without school uniforms, exercise books and other vital requirements.
In an address read on his behalf, the Ho Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Mr Isaac Kodobisah, commended the management of the school for its impressive development.
He noted that pupils of the school had good prospects and urged the management to continue to nurture the pupils to become productive in future.
The Chairman of the school’s parent-teacher association (PTA), Mr Fancis Kponvi, acknowledged the efforts of parents and encouraged them to nurture the children more to make them useful to themselves and the country.
