YEAR GROUPS 25TH. ANNIVERSARY DONATIONS

The School Tradition - "Adisadel Spirit"

The "Adisadel Spirit" basically means "Be prepared to serve your school at all times." This spirit of self-help and determination to serve Adisadel was the propelling force that moved the Topp Yard staff and students (in the 1930s) to resolve to make the current Hill Top of Adisadel the repository of scholarship and fame.

Old Boys who left the school exactly 25 years ago have traditionally sponsored the Speech and Prize Giving Day event held in March as part of their 25th. anniversary since leaving school. Each graduating class forms a year group - the year being when the class completed Form 5 in the old school system or SSS3/SSS4 in the new educational system. Students who attended Adisadel for the first time at the Lower Six (6) level in the old system are placed in the same year group as their Lower 6 classmates. The year group of Old Boys embark on a major or minor project as part of the 25th. anniversary sponsorship. Projects include buying equipment for the school, or putting up a structure or rehabilitating some of the existing structures in the school. As an example, in 2004, the 1979 Year Group donated the current school gate at the Cape Coast - Takoradi by-pass road.
