The Odadeɛ 2000 Year Group (Y2K) on Saturday, 29th November, unveiled a fully refurbished dining hall for the Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC-Legon) as their legacy project for the institution’s 87th Speech and Prize-Giving Day.

Serving as the powering year group for this year’s celebrations, the Odadeɛ Y2K cohort undertook a comprehensive renovation of the school’s main dining facility.

The project is aimed at enhancing the dining experience and supporting the school’s rapidly expanding student population.

The project was formally handed over to the school amid colourful activities marking the Speech and Prize-Giving Day.

A representative of the Ministry of Education delivered a message on behalf of the Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, and the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, Professor N.S. Kofi Davis.

Praising the school’s legacy, she said, “PRESEC stands out today for academic excellence, discipline, and the development of outstanding leaders for this country.”

She added that the school’s history is “not just about buildings, colours or traditions. It is about a community that has upheld strong ideals and done great for decades.”

Referencing the school’s achievements, she said that “your National Science and Maths Quiz, the senior high school renewable energy challenge in which you are the 2025 champions… all show this heritage.”

She also stressed the importance of discipline, stating, “The theme discipline to shape future leaders reminds us that being a leader without discipline is pointless and having discipline without a goal is pointless.”

The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who is also a member of the 1999 year group, served as the guest speaker.

He told the gathering that he felt “humbled and profoundly honoured” to be chosen for the occasion by the year group that was just a year behind him at school.

Speaking on the theme, “Celebrating Our Heritage, Shaping Future Leaders Through Discipline and Academic Excellence,” he stressed that PRESEC’s heritage was a living legacy rooted in faith, discipline, scholarship and integrity.

“When we celebrate PRESEC’s heritage, we celebrate a heritage of faith grounded in Presbyterian values, a heritage of discipline, a heritage of academic excellence recognised across Ghana and beyond, and a heritage of integrity which holds every Odadeɛ to a higher standard,” he said.

This year’s event was powered by the Ɔdadeɛ 2000 Year Group (Y2K), who were praised for delivering a well-organised celebration and the project for the school.
