LA PRESBYTERIAN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL, Accra

Teachers meeting to discuss Literacy programme with TBB. La Presby SSS, Ghana

La Presbyterian Senior Secondary School staff discussing the needs and challenges of being a teacher in their school. We looked at different book options that HarperCollins were donating to the school. TBB were planning a visit to the school with poet/actor Shango Baku to study their exam drama piece 'The Gods Are Not To Blame'.

During a two week residency at La Presby school, the students were happy to rehearse a scene of the play that they were writing an exam for. It helped them to understand the scene and it was an opportunity for the students to celebrate their cultural dance and costume during the final performance.
