their content, should prepare students to take their place in society either as
leaders or as followers and should also aim at giving them the basic concepts,
understanding, values, attitudes, abilities and skill that will impel them to
develop themselves.

2012 WASSCE (WAEC) RESULT
We give
God all the praise and glory for the wonderful performance of our SS3 students
who just passed out in July 2012. The
following are highlights of their 2012 WAEC result:
The
school recorded 100% pass in seven (7) subjects – English Language, Technical Drawing,
Literature-in-English, Foods and Nutrition, Commerce, C.R.K. and Visual Art. 98% was recorded in Geography, Physics 93.4%, Economics
91.5% while Agricultural Science recorded 91% .
89.3% was recorded in Government, 80.6% for Biology and 75.5% for
Mathematics. It is encouraging, however,
to note that for a school that preaches and enforces “qualitative education
without corruption”, this result is a reflection of sheer commitment and hard
work on the part of the tutors and students coupled with God’s matchless grace.
