                                             GHigh School was simply a blessing.
                                             Having heard so much from past   (MBA, Human Resource

         experiences. I had to adhere strictly to routines, learn to live with ladies with varied backgrounds,
         personalities and values about life, and still blend academic work with hobbies and club activities.

         My greatest moment was when Ellis House won both the inter-houses athletics and house
         cleanliness competitions in the same year. My team members and I did not just win the 4 x 100
         relay race but also set a new record! It was also the year that the School Choir, led by good old   esley Girls’ High School: Live Pure, Speak True, Right Wrong and
         ‘Paa Wie-Jo’, performed admirably at the Speech Day and were rewarded with an excursion to the   WFollow the King!

         I am glad I went to WGHS because the values I acquired coupled with the rich exposure and

         You would be surprised to know that I locked my keys in my trunk the very moment I stepped
         into school for the first time.
         I am most inspired by Phil 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
         Favourite quote: ‘Hakuna Matata’ meaning ‘No worries’.
