Social Guidance
At VRA Schools, we recognize that students’ social development is as important as their academic growth. Our Social Guidance Programme is designed to help students develop strong interpersonal skills, positive values, and responsible behaviors, both within the school and in the wider community
SOCIAL GUIDANCE
The social and behavioural welfare of students is the duty of all teaching staff and the
Housemasters/mistresses. Every student belongs to a particular House. There are four Houses that
provide boarding facilities to students at Akosombo campus. The boarding houses have been named
after eminent personalities who have played prominent roles in the building of the Akosombo
Hydro-Electric Dam. The Houses are Ames, Dobson, Kaiser, and Quartey. Housemasters/ mistresses
are
appointed to oversee the campus life of students in the various Houses. They respond to the
Senior
Housemaster/Housemistress.
Boarding House Inspections
The Resident Housemasters/mistresses organise inspection of the dormitories every morning of the
school day (Monday - Friday). On Saturdays, weekend inspections are conducted by the
Housemasters/
mistresses. The Housemasters/mistresses also submit through the Senior Housemaster/mistress
weekly
inspection report to the Headmaster (Secondary Dept.). All Housemasters/mistresses go on an
inspection (together) once every term. This inspection is normally led by the Senior
Housemaster/Housemistress.
The Resident Housemasters/mistresses supervise work in the boarding house and ensure that the
school
schedules (at the boarding house) are obeyed
