PTA donates bus to Aquinas SHS

THE Parent Teacher Association (PTA) of the St Thomas Aquinas Senior High School has donated a 58-seater bus, valued at GH¢124, 500 to the school.
Presenting the keys of the bus, the PTA Chairman who is also an old student of the school, Mr J. A. Larkai, said the vehicle sought to satisfy a need for a vehicle by the institution for its sporting activities and educational tours among other programmes.
He said the vehicle would go a long way to uplift the spirit of both teachers and students of the school to do more to enhance the image of the school.
Mr Larkai advised the pupils to conduct themselves well and justify the investments their parents were making in them.
The headmaster of the school, Mr Frank K. Bebli said the donation was timely since the school's existing fleet had broken down, adding that the bus would help to ease the transportation problem facing both teachers and students.
The headmaster commended the PTA for providing the needs of the school and pledged that the bus would be used for its intended purpose.
He urged the students to “cherish their gift”. He also advised them to show their appreciation by displaying proper decorum and refrain from engaging in any conduct that might result in the bus being damaged.
He appealed to the PTA and the old students association to help build a new assembly hall for the school as the present one could only accommodate half the population of the school.
Mr Bebli called on the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) to complete the 12-classroom block project whose work stopped for sometime before the beginning of the next academic year to increase student admission.
The School’s Prefect, Master Benjamin Yeboah expressed appreciation at the PTA’s kind gesture. He however appealed to the PTA and the old students association to renovate the school’s place of convenience as the present one was in a deplorable state.
