11 November 2026<\/span><\/b> \u2014 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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The observance began with a whole-school assembly on the Junior School Turf, anchored by MCs Yoofie Ainuson and Imani Akakpo.\u00a0Ex-Warrant Officer Class 1 (WO1) Bright Segbefia, Public Relations Officer of the Veterans Administration\u00a0of Ghana (VAG), spoke on VAG\u2019s mission and thanked the school for raising funds over 6000 GHS through its annual Poppy Drive, to support\u00a0Ghana’s veterans in need.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u00a0conflict,\u00a0by Special\u00a0Guest of Honour\u00a0Ex-Sergeant Yankson Amissah. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the 11th hour, the school observed a two-minute silence to the sounding of <\/span>\u2018The Last Post\u2019<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>\u2018The Reveille\u2019<\/span><\/i>, followed by wreath-laying tributes, a recitation of <\/span>\u2018In Flanders Fields\u2019<\/span><\/i>, and pupil poetry recitals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We extend our sincere gratitude to Ms Gloria Awuku-Boateng (Principal Teacher) for expertly coordinating the day\u2019s commemoration alongside Mrs. Joyce Dekagbe (Junior School Maths Coordinator) and Ms. Deborah Boye (Reception Teacher). <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Very special thanks goes to Ex-Sergeant Yankson Amissah\u00a0(99 years old), a cherished friend of TRRS, whose brave military service pre-dates Ghana’s Independence, for delivering another\u00a0moving address\u00a0about the cost of war and why we must always choose peaceful resolution.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lest we forget<\/span>.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
