The Awudome Senior High School (AWUS­CO) has marked its 60th anniversary at Tsito in the Volta Region last week.

It was celebrated on the theme “60 years of quality education: benefits and relevance in contemporary times.”

The week-long celebration had activities such as a candlelight procession, inter-house competition, tree-planting, fashion night, health screening, football match, ‘borborbor’ night, talk on entrepreneurship and a fund­raising dinner.

The grand durbar witnessed old students of the various year groups as well as continuing students and staff clad in the anniversary attire.

The Old Students Union of AWUSCO, OSUA also inaugurated an eight-bed capacity health centre for the school at the cost of GH¢1.6 million.

The Volta Regional Minister, Dr Archibald Yao Letsa, said the commitment of the old students to their alma mater had made AWUS­CO one of the ‘sterling’ Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the region and the country at large.

He said the effort of the alumni was laud­able, adding that the building of a health centre would benefit both students and indi­genes of surrounding communities.

The National president of OSUA, Dr Leonard Amekudzi old students have brought on board their individual competencies which include skills, resources and time to serve their alma mater.

He mentioned that OSUA had embarked on a membership drive and currently have about 5,000 members across the country to gather resources to support several projects in the school.
