Addressing the gathering, the Municipal Director of Education, Ms Frances Mabel Williams charged parents to support the school to groom the students into responsible adults.
Parents, she said , were obliged to create a conducive atmosphere for their children to learn after they had closed from school as well as take keen interest in all matters that concerned them.
She condemned the abuse of social media, particularly WhatsApp, and urged both parents and teachers to help pupils use social media positively to improve their academic and social life.
The Chief Executive Officer of Eric Education Consult, Dr Victoria Hazel commended the founder of the school for establishing the school and urged the management to continue to groom the future human resource of the country.
