” Our plan is to get this project done by December this year because the Koreans have come to see the headmaster so even if I want to delay I can not do that because they work with time and it will be very expensive for me. We want to do something very simple, descent but really nice and I have just decided after talking to my senior to add a couple of rooms as an outer house for the headmaster, and the assurance is that by December this year we will all gather here to hand over the project to the school”.

” The good news is that from 2018 to this year your own boys company has been the biggest real estate developer in the City doing a minimum of hundred and fifty houses a year and therefore you are in safe hands so all I ask is that we all support with prayers and together we will make St. Peters the beacon of excellence in the country”.

The 1979/ 81 year group who also left the walls of St. Peters over 45 years ago also cut sod for the construction of a new ultra modern infirmary which will have an apartment for a resident nurse.

The President of the year 1979 / 81 year group George Ofosuhene who is the CEO of Bond Savings spoke about the importance of the health project.

” This particular project is very dear to our hearts because the safety of these students is a priority, we lost our mate during our days here at Persco because there was no proper health facility when our mate got sick and later died when he was rushed to the government hospital so with this new project sick students can be well attended to, treated well before being transferred if need be and it will also have an apartment for a resident nurse”.

The 2004 year group also took the initiative to renovate all the dormitories, replace all nets and repaint them to change the face of the dormitories.

The Headmaster of the School Kwame Owusu Aduonu who could not hide his joy called on other year groups to come and support in diverse ways.

” I had come from a school where I had 5 bedrooms and an outer house so I couldn’t fit in at this apartment so I was really trying to fit in and those who visited me can attest to it so this new project is something that befits the status of St. Peter’s. It was something personal so any time I had a chat with the president of the old boys association I had drum home the need for that so I was very happy when he told me that one of our own has opted to construct a new apartment for the headmaster and I must say all the bishops, teachers and students are very happy and grateful. We are proud that the old boys are taking up the mantle to change things in the school which trained them and I will use this opportunity to call in other year groups to pick up other task in the school”.
