The three-storey project, with bath houses, toilet, playground, volleyball and basketball facilities, when completed, can house more than 520 students. The acting PTA Chairman, Mr. Charles Dodoo, who cut the sod' for the commencement of the project, urged al stakeholders, including ph\1anthropistsand corporate bodies, to come on board to fulfill the mission of the school in offering quality education for girls.
He said the project was the contribution of the PTA in providing accommodation towards the four-year SHS programme next academic year. The Headmistress of the school Mrs Cecilia Obenewaa Appiah, was grateful to members of the PTA for their foresight in putting up the dormitory block, which, she said she hoped, would go a long way to ease the accommodation problem of the school. She said only 20 out of the total of 1,135 students in the school were day students, which meant that the institution was virtually a boarding one. Mrs Appiah said the school was in dire need of classrooms and dormitories to enable the authorities to admit more students next academic year. She, therefore, appealed to corporate bodies and non-governmental organizations to assist in completing the project as early as possible. The Pastor in charge of the Zimmerman1an Presbyterian Church at Odumase-krobo, Rev. Sam Atteh Odjeluah, lauded the PTA for its commitment to the development of the school.
