Mrs. Theresa Mensah, headteacher of St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School has appealed to the public for immediate intervention to assist in giving the over 100 years facility a facelift to avoid any further rot.
She noted with worry that the facility handed over to the Archdiocese by the Our Lady Queen of Apostles (OLA SISTERS) has since not seen any facelift to preserve it for future us.
She said the building housing the first ever Girls primary school in the Central Region needed a major revamp and it looked as though all efforts to get stakeholders to salavge the sitruation had proven futile.
She said for instance some of the classroom blocks had deteriorated roofing which meant that in the event of rains, leaking surfaced to distract effective teaching and learning in the school.
Mrs. Mensah therefore appealed to wellmeaning indiviuals and the general public to come to their aid.
EVENT
She made this known at a ceremony to hand over renovated block to the school.
The gesture was carried out by Rev Fr Stephen Amoah-Gyasi, the Cape Coast Archdiocesan Development Director whose benevolence birthed a fully renovated two units classroom block which had been abandoned for over six years.
