The event, themed “Promoting Cultural Diversity,” aimed to instill a sense of national pride and cultural awareness among students. Speaking at the event, the Headmistress of the school emphasized the significance of Ghana Month and the need to preserve the country’s cultural heritage.
“We are celebrating because it is important to teach our students their culture and traditions so they can understand where they come from,” she stated.
She further encouraged parents to actively educate their children on cultural values, ensuring they stay connected to their roots.
