The 0AA 1980 year group had a re-union in Sep 2015 to celebrate their 40th anniversary of entering Achimota School. During the two weeks celebrations, the Group donated a number of Chains Saws to be used by the schools’ arborists to maintain the hundreds of trees (some of which are circa 50-70 years old) in the Arboretum and within the school enclave.  

During the Thanksgiving Service with Staff and Students, the Group also made a cash donation on the day for the purchase of a Keyboard for use in the Aggrey Chapel.  

The OAA 1980 year group donated a generator to the OAA secretariat to help offset the power outages and hence enabling them to confidently host third party events, thereby maximising their revenue streams for the benefit of the school.

One of the former staff bungalows adjacent to McCarthy House was converted into a school clinic mainly for the use of the student body, as the main hospital was now a district hospital and its remit was serving the needs of the wider community in Achimota and its surrounding areas.

 The OAA 1980 year group donated some medical equipment, computer and printer worth $7,000 for the use of the Clinic.

The OAA 1980 year group hosted a family fiesta fun day to act as a fund raising event for the new school clinic at Ghana International school. Part of the activities on the day included a sponsored walk (with the obvious health benefits) and a live music performance by Kwabena Kwabena.

 The event was well attended by the General Public and had corporate sponsors from Airtel and Nestle who made donations to be used as raffle prizes on the day.

During a meeting at the Headmistress Office, it was realised that her table was in need of urgent refurbishment.

The OAA 1980 year group decided against refurbishing the old desk, but rather to procure a new Table and Chair for the use by the Headmistress. 

Achimota School has seventeen Boarding houses split between nine Girls and eight Boys accommodation.

The OAA 1980 year set up a Best House Annual Award, one for the Eastern and the other for the Western compounds and donated a Cup plus a notional cash component to be awarded at the annual speech and prize giving event. The criteria for the award encompassed academic and sports grades, positive impact of house /members on school and physical upkeep of house and gardens
