The Holy Child Past Students Association (HOPSA) 2002 Year Group, affectionately called the Rubies Group, has formally announced a major initiative to modernise the Holy Child School kitchen.
The project, which aims to improve efficiency and enhance student nutrition, was officially launched at a fundraising dinner held under the theme “Technology for Impact: Feeding Minds, Fueling Change.” The event also marked the unveiling of the kitchen modernisation project.
The President of the Rubies Group, Agatha Faidoo, said the initiative is designed to ensure that the school’s kitchen facilities meet modern standards, supporting healthier meals and a better learning environment for students.
The Rubies Group called on alumni, parents, and well-wishers to contribute generously towards the successful completion of the project. Donations will go directly into upgrading equipment, introducing technology-driven cooking processes, and improving food quality and safety for both kitchen staff and students.
Speaking at the launch, representatives of the Rubies Group emphasised that the project reflects their commitment to giving back to their alma mater and investing in the future of Holy Child students.
The former National Organiser of the NPP and Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, Sammi Awuku, praised the efforts of the HOPSA 2002 Year Group, stating that such initiatives not only set an example for other schools facing similar challenges but also highlight the transformative power of alumni engagement in shaping a brighter future for the next generation.
The modernisation project is expected to have a lasting impact, ensuring that the school’s kitchen becomes a model of efficiency, sustainability, and nutrition.
Established in 1946 by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, Holy Child School has consistently upheld a tradition of academic excellence and social impact in Ghana. Figures such as Anna Bossman, Sabina Dankwah, Prof. Nana Aba Amfo, and Matilda Asante Apeadu stand as examples of how HOPSA graduates continue to contribute both in Ghana and internationally.
