Westminster Graduates 2010
Once again Westminster
has graduated seventeen High School students. This
happens to be its second batch of graduates since its inception.
This is indeed a great achievement. As its original slogan "Judge us by Our Success" goes, Westminster presented seventeen students in 2009 to write the Basic Education Examinations in April, and the results was marvelous. Westminster passed with distinction. In April this year, Westminster once again presented seventeen students to represent the school and hope to achieve same or better results.
Mary Kathlene Crawford
Mary Kathlene Crawford came
as a volunteer teacher from the 6th of October 2009 and left for the United
States on the 6th of March 2010. She was hardworking, dedicated and
disciplined.
She was a source of encouragement and inspiration to the entire school body. Her teaching skills during class presentation will be missed dearly.
"Coming to volunteer teach at Westminster Comprehensive School has been the most challenging, yet most rewarding 6 months of my life".

They had a taste of the local dish "fufu" before they left for the airport. After their meal, they dressed in the traditional way and took pictures with the family they had lived with. It was really a great day with sadness.
