The theme for the celebration is \u201cRose\u2019s at 50, the impact of Catholic Education for girls; the way forward\u201d<\/p>\n<p>St. Rose\u2019s is ranked among the Grade A schools in Ghana with an excellent academic record and has produced remarkable West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), \u2018O and A level\u2019 results over the years. Products from the school can be found in different career fields from Actuarial science, law, education, medicine, technology, Religious etc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the 2013 WASSCE, out of a total of 656 candidates presented 536 students had 8 passes, 114 had 7 passes and 4 had 6 passes.

We do not attest to \u2018noise making\u2019 as other Schools do, but we still produce excellent results in our various fields of endeavour.\u201d She remarked. Ms. Brew called on old girls to endeavour to give back to the school and to take a keen interest in mentoring current students.<\/p>\n<p>In her keynote address, Ms. Abena Amoah an Investment Banker shared her experiences on the benefits of Catholic Education and its impact on girls.<\/p>\n<p>Present at the launch were Catholic Bishop Monsignor Benson, Representatives from the Akwatia Traditional Council, Students and teachers, The PTA, The Catholic Education Unit and various year groups of the Rose\u2019s Old Students Association (ROSA).<\/p>\n<p>Several activities have been planned for the Anniversary including a fundraising ball. Funds to be raised from the Golden Jubilee events would go towards the building of a secure fence wall for the school valued at One hundred and forty-one thousand, eight hundred and nine Ghana Cedis and four pesewas ( GH\u00a2141,809.04).<\/p>\n<p><strong>About St Roses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>St. Rose\u2019s Senior High School (Formerly St. Roses Secondary School) was founded in 1965 by the Dominican Sisters from Speyer, Germany.
