Joe Mettle is set to headline PRESEC's Ɔdadeɛ Bonfire Night as the school celebrates its ninth National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) title, bringing together music, excitement and school pride in Ghana.

Presbyterian Boys' Senior High School (PRESEC-Legon) is preparing for a memorable celebration following its impressive performance in the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz. The victory marks the school's ninth championship in the prestigious competition, further strengthening its position as one of Ghana's most successful schools in the history of the NSMQ.

The achievement has generated excitement among students, teachers, old students and supporters, who have every reason to celebrate another remarkable moment in the school's history.

Why PRESEC is celebrating

PRESEC's celebration follows its victory in the 2026 NSMQ grand finale, where the school demonstrated outstanding knowledge, confidence and teamwork to secure the championship.

The National Science and Maths Quiz is one of Ghana's most recognised academic competitions. It brings together some of the country's best senior high schools to compete in challenging questions covering science, mathematics and general knowledge.

Winning the competition for the ninth time is a significant achievement for PRESEC. It reflects years of academic preparation, dedication from teachers and the determination of students who worked hard to bring another trophy to the school.

For the PRESEC community, the victory is more than just an academic award. It represents the school's commitment to excellence and its ability to maintain a strong reputation in Ghana's educational sector.

The ninth title has therefore provided an important reason for students and alumni to come together and celebrate.

Music stars billed to perform

One of the major attractions of the Ɔdadeɛ Bonfire Night is the impressive list of musicians expected to entertain guests.

Popular gospel musician Joe Mettle is billed to headline the event. He is widely recognised for his energetic performances and inspirational gospel songs, which have earned him a strong following among music lovers in Ghana and beyond.

Other artistes expected to perform include Team Eternity Ghana and Daughters of Glorious Jesus.

Their participation is expected to add excitement to the programme, giving guests an opportunity to enjoy live music while celebrating PRESEC's academic success.

The combination of these gospel musicians is also expected to create an atmosphere of thanksgiving, praise and entertainment.

The event, tagged the ADO9 Edition, was scheduled for Friday, October 30, 2026, at the PRESEC School Park in Legon.

How school pride and entertainment mix

The Ɔdadeɛ Bonfire Night is not simply a musical concert. It is an important gathering that celebrates the identity, history and achievements of the PRESEC community.

The event creates an opportunity for current students and old students to reconnect, share experiences and strengthen their relationship with the school.

Traditional activities such as the torchlight procession and bonfire lighting are also important parts of the celebration. These activities represent unity, togetherness and loyalty among members of the PRESEC family.

By including popular musicians in the programme, the organisers are giving the celebration an entertaining atmosphere while keeping the school's achievement at the centre of attention.

The performances also provide an opportunity for students and alumni to express their excitement through music and thanksgiving.

A celebration beyond the classroom

PRESEC's ninth NSMQ victory demonstrates how academic success can bring an entire school community together.

The celebration also highlights the important role of school traditions in building a sense of belonging among students and former students.

For many alumni, the bonfire night is an opportunity to remember their school days, reconnect with old friends and show support for the next generation of PRESEC students.

The involvement of Joe Mettle, Team Eternity Ghana and Daughters of Glorious Jesus makes the occasion even more special by combining entertainment with the celebration of academic excellence.

Ultimately, the ADO9 Ɔdadeɛ Bonfire Night represents more than a victory celebration. It is a moment for PRESEC to appreciate the hard work behind its ninth NSMQ title, honour its academic tradition and bring its community together.

With music, thanksgiving, torchlight activities and the traditional bonfire, PRESEC's celebration highlights how education, culture and entertainment can combine to create an unforgettable occasion.
