The event commenced in the school auditorium, where the day’s proceedings began with an opening prayer, creating a moment of reflection and shared purpose. Attendees stood solemnly for the national anthem, followed by the HOTCATT school anthem, a proud tradition that brought a sense of unity among all present.
The A.g Director Eric Kofi Afornorpe, a figure of respect and inspiration, took the stage to deliver the welcome address. He spoke about the legacy of HOTCATT and its commitment to excellence, encouraging the new students to approach their studies with determination and passion. The speech set the tone for what promised to be an enriching day.
Following the welcome address, the course instructors were introduced one by one. Each shared a brief overview of their respective courses, providing students with insight into the opportunities and challenges ahead. The instructors’ expertise and enthusiasm were evident, further building excitement among the new cohort.
A short session was dedicated to outlining the rules and regulations of the institution, as well as the available resources and support systems. This practical segment ensured that every student left with a clear understanding of what to expect and where to turn for help when needed.
To conclude, a guided campus tour was organized. Students explored the facilities, from state-of-the-art classrooms and workshops to common areas that would become their second home. The tour was an opportunity to not only familiarize themselves with their surroundings but also to forge connections with fellow students and staff.
As the day drew to a close, there was a palpable sense of optimism and eagerness. HOTCATT’s orientation had not only welcomed the new students but had also instilled in them a sense of purpose and belonging, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter in their lives.
