Rev. Father Sam Nii Moi Addo who was chairman of the occasion advised parents to be responsible for their children, and monitor their activities to encourage them to study at home as well as learn household duties.

Mr. Stephano Torto, Director of the school urged parents to see their children as treasures and support them to have quality education to become productive citizens.
