11 November 2026 — Today, The Roman Ridge School gathered in solemn reflection to mark Remembrance Day, paying tribute to the brave men and women including Ghanaian soldiers who have served and sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
The observance began with a whole-school assembly on the Junior School Turf, anchored by MCs Yoofie Ainuson and Imani Akakpo. Ex-Warrant Officer Class 1 (WO1) Bright Segbefia, Public Relations Officer of the Veterans Administration of Ghana (VAG), spoke on VAG’s mission and thanked the school for raising funds over 6000 GHS through its annual Poppy Drive, to support Ghana’s veterans in need.
Later in the morning, the Junior School held a dedicated service led by MCs Aislyn Owusu-Bempah and Sadik Suleman, featuring an address on the importance of peace, dialogue and diplomacy to resolve conflict, by Special Guest of Honour Ex-Sergeant Yankson Amissah.
At the 11th hour, the school observed a two-minute silence to the sounding of ‘The Last Post’ and ‘The Reveille’, followed by wreath-laying tributes, a recitation of ‘In Flanders Fields’, and pupil poetry recitals.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Ms Gloria Awuku-Boateng (Principal Teacher) for expertly coordinating the day’s commemoration alongside Mrs. Joyce Dekagbe (Junior School Maths Coordinator) and Ms. Deborah Boye (Reception Teacher).
Very special thanks goes to Ex-Sergeant Yankson Amissah (99 years old), a cherished friend of TRRS, whose brave military service pre-dates Ghana’s Independence, for delivering another moving address about the cost of war and why we must always choose peaceful resolution.
Lest we forget.
