On 8 September 2026<\/strong>, The Roman Ridge School (TRRS) celebrated International Literacy Day under the global theme, \u201cLiteracy for People, the Planet, and Prosperity.\u201d<\/strong> The programme highlighted how strong literacy and communication skills empower individuals to drive shared progress and protect our global home.<\/p>\n

The morning event was expertly guided by student MCs from Lower 6: Angel Smith and Aislyn Owusu Bempah. Following an opening prayer by Olivia Nsonamoah of Class 2 West and the School Hymn led by Mrs. Abenaa Asare (PSHE Co-ordinator), Ms. Gloria Ofori-Atta (Junior School English Coordinator) delivered a powerful Keynote Address.<\/p>\n

TRRS students took centre stage to showcase their command of language and artistic expression. Lael Fiadzigbey of Class 3 Atifi and Ridhwan Asamoah Boateng of Form 1 Atifi shared the historical background of Literacy Day. Captivating performances followed, including a moving spoken word piece by Zaima Aribah of Form 3 West, a thoughtful reading by Tierra Aneja of Class 4 Atifi, and an expressive poetry recital by Inaayah Ponle-Haizel of Form 2 West. The assembly concluded with a spirited rendition of the TRRS School Anthem, proudly led by Class 1.<\/p>\n

The celebration continued throughout the week with section assemblies, the TRRS Literacy Cup inter-house competitions (Spelling Bees, Riddles, and Word Trivia), and a school-wide Book Drive launched by the Class of 2027<\/strong> for their Graduation Service Project, embodying our theme for 2026\/2027, \u201cBe the Reason Someone Smiles.\u201d<\/strong> This initiative invites the TRRS community to donate books, bringing joy and the gift of reading to others.<\/p>\n

These activities perfectly reinforced our pillars of leadership, responsibility, and excellence. Congratulations to all performers, organisers, and our Student Leaders for an impactful week in celebration of literacy!<\/p>\n
