Aggrey Memorial SHS headmistress displays seized condoms, pills at PTA

Parents were stunned when Mrs. Dorothy Adentwi-Hayford Aggrey Memorial SHS headmistress displayed seized condoms, pills, and unauthorized items from students during a spirited address at the school’s PTA meeting in Cape Coast.

In a firm stance against growing indiscipline in the school, Mrs. Adentwi-Hayford placed the confiscated items on the high table as a visual illustration of the moral and disciplinary challenges some students posed.

Though she declined to name the culprits, she assured parents that appropriate disciplinary actions—alongside counselling—would be taken.

She clarified that while the majority of students were disciplined, a persistent few continued to exhibit deviant behaviours that undermined the school’s standards.

“These include sneaking out without exeat, bullying, stealing, truancy, and general apathy towards academic work,” she said.

More troubling, according to her, was the conduct of some parents who condoned such behaviours. She condemned instances where parents verbally attacked or placed curses on school authorities for disciplining their wards without verifying the facts.

Determined to restore order, Mrs. Adentwi-Hayford announced stricter disciplinary measures, warning that any form of misconduct would not be tolerated as the school strives to move from a category B to a category A institution.

She urged parents to take an active interest in their children’s welfare beyond just providing for their material needs.

“When your children return home with complaints, please investigate. Contact the school before jumping to conclusions,” she advised.

She also called on parents to respect the school’s security protocols, which are designed to protect the students.

Several parents who contributed during the open forum supported the headmistress’ call for tougher discipline, commending her efforts to maintain high standards.
