The Visual Arts Class of 2006 of Fijai Senior High School has handed over a fully equipped computer laboratory to the school. This was done on Friday, August 21, 2026, as part of their efforts to support the development of their alma mater. The facility aims to improve access to digital learning resources for students, particularly those in the Visual Arts programme. The project was inspired by the group's desire to give back to the institution that shaped them academically and personally.
According to Richard Abbam-Berchie, Vice-President of the FOSA Visual Arts Class of 2006, the group was motivated by the values instilled in them by Fijai SHS, including discipline, self-awareness, responsibility, and preparedness for the future. The computer laboratory is intended to strengthen the teaching and learning of 21st-century skills, particularly digital literacy, among students. This initiative is part of the group's efforts to support the school's development and enhance teaching and learning.
The Visual Arts Class of 2006 has undertaken several initiatives to improve the school's facilities, support students' development, and recognise teachers' contributions. These include the renovation and upgrading of the Visual Arts Department to improve the learning environment for students pursuing the programme. The group has also introduced a career and mentorship programme to guide students on career opportunities and future professional pathways.
The alumni group has also supported menstrual hygiene and health education through Inspire to Rise, a non-governmental organisation. This initiative aimed to promote awareness and provide education on menstrual health. Additionally, the group has organised teachers' appreciation and recognition activities to honour educators for their dedication and service. Student recognition and awards have also been instituted to celebrate achievement and encourage excellence.
The FOSA Visual Arts Class of 2006 has installed a lighting system from the school gate to the main entrance to improve visibility at night and enhance the safety and security of students and teachers. The Member of Parliament for the Sekondi Constituency, Armah Blay Nyameke, commended the group for its contributions to the school's development. He urged other alumni groups to emulate the gesture by investing in their former schools.
The Headmaster of Fijai SHS, Kenneth Agbomadzi, expressed appreciation to the FOSA Visual Arts Class of 2006 for supporting the school. During the handover ceremony, some long-serving teachers were honoured for their dedication and contributions to the education and development of students. They received plaques and cash awards in recognition of their service.
The initiatives undertaken by the Visual Arts Class of 2006 reflect the alumni group's commitment to strengthening the school's learning environment, supporting student welfare and development, and recognising teachers' contributions. The project is expected to have a positive impact on the students, particularly those in the Visual Arts programme, by providing them with improved access to digital learning resources.
