As part of celebrations to mark the 67th National Independence Day Anniversary in the Eastern Region of Ghana, and following Ghana Education Service’s call on all schools to organise an activity dubbed, ‘Wear Ghana, Eat Ghana’, Holy Rosary School, Donkorkrom celebrates the day with passion.
On March 1, 2024, the pupils from Creche to Junior High School, as well as the management and staff of School were cladded in colourful African apparel moving gracefully to the school’s ceremonial ground to either participate in one cultural activity or the other or watch others perform.
