TARSCO Launches 6Oth Anniversary

The Tarkwa Senior Secondary School (TARSCO) Past Students Association (TARPSA) and the Board of Directors have launched the school’s 60th anniversary with a call on students to allow the school to pass through them.

“At our time, we respected teachers and saw them as role models, and that explains where we are now, the Deputy Minister of Education, Mrs. Gifty Twum Ampofo, who made the call, added.

She also admonished teachers to be good role models, adding that “the best way to correct a student is the student imitating the teacher.”

Mrs. Twum Ampofo seized the chance to appeal to students to take very good care of the school’s infrastructural facilities, stating that the government has invested so much in that space and education in general.

Along this line, she called on all old students of TARSCO to support their alma mater. 

“As an old student of TARSCO, I can assure that we will continue to support TARSCO, adding that we are currently helping to build a two-storey dining hall and kitchen facility for the school,” she assured. As part of her contribution, she donated an amount of GHC5,000 to support the school's 60th anniversary.

The Deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Mr. George Mireku Duker, MP Tarkwa Nsuaem, who stood in for the Minister for Roads and Highways, unveiled the new dining hall project.

The launch, which came off at the Marriot Hotel, Accra brought together all year groups of TARPSA in Ghana and abroad.

The theme for the anniversary is “Achieving Academic Excellence through Discipline for National Development.”

The Paramount Chief of Wassa Amenfi Traditional Area, Nana Tetrete Okuamoah Sekyi, was the Chairman for the occasion.

Mrs. Hannah Owusu-Koranteng, who is the Chairperson of the TARSCO Past Students Association, said the event was used to mobilise resources for the main celebration of the 60th anniversary which is to take place in November 2022.

She made a passionate appeal to all past students of TARSCO to participate actively in all the activities of the anniversary.
