In Memory of Nene Nettey

We are deeply saddened to share that our student, Nene Nettey (P4), passed away this week at the Government Hospital in Nsawam. Nene fell ill with a fever while at school. His parents were called immediately and took him to the hospital, where he later passed. The cause of death remains unknown.
To honor Nene’s memory, we have paused our usual activities, including the Halloween celebration. The students understand and have joined together to grieve and support one another. Our team visited the family to offer condolences and respect during this difficult time.
In accordance with local customs, Nene’s classmates and teachers gathered at the school as the family brought the casket, wrapped in beautiful Kente cloth, for a final farewell. The children and teachers sang heartfelt songs of goodbye, expressing their love and sorrow through song and tears. As part of tradition, Nene’s name was called three times during roll call before being formally removed from the class list—a powerful moment of remembrance and release.
Losing a child is an unimaginable loss, and our hearts go out to Nene’s family, classmates, and teachers. His joyful presence and kind spirit will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
We will share more information as we learn it, but for now, we ask that you keep Nene’s family and our school community in your thoughts and prayers.
