Introduction

The involvement of old students in supporting and providing contributions voluntarily to their Alma Mata is important for maintaining and expanding an institution’s development. By establishing channels that can facilitate closer ties between the old students, students and the institution can provide crucial benefits in enriching the student’s experience while being at the institution.

• Met with staff and management of the school to address issues relating to teaching and learning.
• Construction of a Home Economic Block now at the level of decking and so far costing about seventy-eight thousand Ghana Cedis (78,000.00).
