By the special grace of God, Flowers Gay Schools pre-inaugurated its new ultra-modern Science Laboratory which was refurbished by the Schools’ PTA on May 11, 2018.
Privileged final year students used the laboratory for the first time ever and performed experiments – “Titration” under Acid, Bases and Salt.
The well-stocked laboratory has basic apparatus needed in conducting all science related experiments relevant to GES JHS approved syllabi. In attendance were two representatives from MELGREB, of the firm which constructed the laboratory, the P.T.A Chairman, the Principal, the Headmistress, a representation of the Schools’ teachers and the final year students.
At the pre-inauguration, pupils of the Schools were fully represented by smartly dressed JHS 3 pupils (in white laboratory coats). Official from MELGREB Ltd. (the Contractors who undertook the refurbishment of the Laboratory) handed over of the keys to the laboratory to Dr. Kwasi Opoku Boadu (Chairman of the Schools’ P.T.A) who in turn handed it over to Mr. Seth Lartey (a science teacher in the Schools) who received it on behalf of the Schools.
The first laboratory experiment took place after the project was prayed over by the Principal of the Schools, who also advised the pupils to take their studies very seriously considering how close they were to the B.E.C.E examinations. It was a great experience for the students who for the first time had a hands-on feel of the apparatus and chemicals used in performing experiments at their level.
The journey to establishing an ultra-modern laboratory has been a long one.
In line with the Schools’ vision to always uphold all round academic excellence, the P.T.A, enormously contributed financially and otherwise to ensure the achievement the schools’ dream of having an ultra-modern science laboratory to enhance the teaching and learning of Science in the Schools.
Management of the Schools is grateful to the PTA for the huge support and is optimistic that the use of the laboratory will create a renewed desire among the pupils to pursue science with passion and become great scientist in the future.
