For sometime now, some of us have realized that GSTS old students who went to University of Ghana are not as united as those who went to KNUST. I don't know whether because the number of people attending Legon are far fewer compared to those attending UST.

It is of an indisputable fact that GSTS has churned incredibly brilliant products who are performing marvellously well in all aspects of human endeavour.

Talk of Drs. Richard Asamoah and Abraham Sagoe (1996, SSS GRADUATES), Bernard Appiah, a pharmacist with Ghana Pharmaceutical council and always educating Ghana on TV3 START PROGRAM. Patrick Aryivor, an engineer at JOY FM, can not be left out. The last 2 are also 1996 products of GSTS. The list goes on and on. not to mention GIANT Stephen Bewong, who happened to be our school prefect.

Some of these GIANTS attended University of Ghana whereas other went to KNUST. The borderline is if one GIANT from LEGON starts to give telephone numbers and sends text messages like:

"fellow giant let's unite through www.gsts.net
I think, it will go a long way to help bring us all together.
This is timely especially as the 95th anniversary is around the corner."

Long live GSTS. Long live all giants. Let's unite for a better mother TESCO.

Hi GIANTS! We had excellnt teachers at GSTS but unfortunately no one mentions them. We simply seem to have forgotten them all. I suggest we maintain a teachers or better masters list in this website and allow members to putdown how these masters helped shape their livesor just influenced them. It will serve as a small lasting tribute to these dedicated teachers/masters. To start off I list the following Mr RHS White (Maths}, Mr Noel (Chemistry), Mr Mufti {Pysics), Mr Charles Kumsah (Maths), Mr Amissah aka could you (MATHS), Mr Kpakpo Allotey (Geography), Mr Holdbrook-Smith {Snr Housemaster and Music)... Please feel free to add to the list and then invite/solicit tributes as required thanks a great deal. Suggestions to improve this embryonic idea will be very welcomeand appreciated.

We all know that gsts have the best cadet corp in the world and it is also the biggest symbol of the school.why not add the list of great mother tesco's cadet commanders? Look at the generals that launched the centenary anniversary. What comes into your mind?please them for they hold school. A nation without a millitary force what happens to it? Add the commanders,second in commands,adjutants and the regimental sergeant majors to the list of prefects for they even command respect than most prefects u have added.let our names be heard and seen.

We're Loosing the GSTS feeling, boys!!

Age, some will argue, is just a number but for some of us, it depicts ones level of wisdom and achievements.

GSTS old boys association(s) everywhere i have gone to have shown no sense of committment. Lots of reasons have been given for this situation.

Some say, we do not have any girl school affiliation. look at "the school".. You know what i mean. their success have been built on the support from one another not from the girls. St augustines... etc you name it.

Our inability to share information is taking us back. whiles others are ready to move the same information with their friends, we want to keep it (new Takoradi attitude). remember, no man can hold claim to some information.

I remember my first day in GSTS and what my dad said... People go through here always but few come out as men. if what he said relates to ones behaviour, then some of us do still have that childish attitude in us.....

See one another as friends, the association is there to help. if you do not have funds to contribute, mate this is no sin. pay when you have. but do not forgo meetings. remember what the good books says.. "do not forfiet the assemble of the brethren, but remember to exhort or encourage." Heb 10: 25

I have stayed in three different countries and never seen any one with a committed association. WHY????

It is my hope that the opportunity we had in our days that made us better people, we will help pass this or better forms to the generation behind us. God bless GSTS, God bless you.

Very DISAPPOINTED!

A very Well done to the management of G.S.T.S. I have always boasted with my alma matta due to the lots and lots of improvements in the modern Technological respect.

I am Francis Kwakye Ankomah and a GIANT. I was a science student from 1997 - 1999 and happen to occupy the position of an ASSISTANT HOUSE PREFECT during the 1998/1999 academic year.

Actually, it's so very disappointing to realise after scrolling down through the list of prefects from the past to the present that, my name was lost in the thin air.

I would, therefore, ask the editor through this media, to find out from the achives to make the necessary corrections because I am also important and as such my status needs to be correctly kept on record.

I am very diappointed!

thanks.

Maths studies in GSTS can be improved

I happen to be part of the students who disliked Elective Maths because of numerous reasons. Fortunately before i left i believe miraclously i developed this last minute love for Maths after a little talk with Mr.A.Sarkwah.Maybe he won't remember but he inspired me. I knew it looked too late but i could still make a difference.I am now at Ashesi University and believe me the lecturer here happens to be an old-boy he is prof.S.E.Anku(Kennedy hse).You need at least a B+ to do Comp.Sc. He made me understand that my disdain for Maths lied in the fact that most of our teachers factor to this problem and other ones too.I will only state one problem-The inablity to teach the connection of what we study to the real life of problm solving. Through Ashesi and Prof.Anku i have risen form the 'E' student to an 'A' student.He searches out for the weak students and helps them,unlike many schools where weak students are embarassed and ignored. Please,let us encourage our teachers at GSTS to teach us with a passion of making us 'moon leaders', where moon means one out of all.I adore GSTS and so proud to be a Tescan. Prof and I have taken GSTS one step further. We have launched a club at Ashesi-the "Ashesi Maths Community". The community seeks to treat the defect in Maths study in Ghana as well as build confidence in the so-called 'f' students in Maths.
We are undertaking a project which will bring out some results quite soon on Maths studies in Ghana.
Please tell Mr.Ofori to help us foster this truth ("Maths can be used to solve all real life problems and students should be helped to appreciate that.") -Prof.Anku. (ASHESI, 2005).

Hon. JH Mensah said a similar thing, so let GSTS start this change.We are planning on paying a visit to the school to talk to everyone, that is students and teachers on how Maths has helped solve Economic problems of Asia,America,UK and other countries.A club like that should be setup in the school.

Softwares are used to study Maths here at Ashesi and i am wondering how many people know of it. Some of us will try as much as possible to push GSTS up with all the good things we come across in our own small way.

About the computer training in the school, i also think that it's a brillant idea.Is there a way to link all those who want to help so that we can interact and get this done effectively?
For us (Prof and I) we could aid with the software upgrades and other ideas. I hope Sideny Laud Schandorf has already heard this call to help TESCO and will contribute, he is very resourceful and should be contacted wherever he is."Little drops of water.....". May we all endeavour to do our utmost best to help GSTS. Long Live Ghana!Long Live Mother Tesco!
THANK YOU.
