“Our performance hasn’t been bad by the grace of God, in fact, we have renewable energy competition; BISCO won last year to represent the northern region and we have won again this year, so we would be going to Kumasi to represent the region.
“There are many other achievements of the school, we have one of our science students who performed well and had an admission to the UDS Medical School this year” she proudly stated.

The headmistress seized the opportunity to commend the old students for their continuous investment and support to the school.

God richly bless you for the sick bay, refurbishment of my new office by the 1990 year group and many other donations like a flat screen TV to the science department and cash from Mawums for last year’s science and maths quiz” she mentioned.
Madam Suzana Fati Ibrahima however pointed out that the school still requires some infrastructure and learning materials for effective teaching and learning.
