SCHOOL FACILITIES
i. Academic Facilities
(a) Classrooms: The school has twenty-seven classrooms built with blocks and cemented floors. Each room has electricity for night prepping.
(b) The school is endowed with science laboratories for Physics, Chemistry and Biology where practical lessons are taught.
There is also a Science Resource Centre with laboratories for Physics Chemistry and Biology which serves the school and it satellite school in the neighbourhood. It also serves as a resource centre for all Basic Schools in the Municipality.
The school also has a forty-seater computer laboratory for ICT studies. The old students are currently building an ICT laboratory with full internet connectivity for the school.
(c) Library: The school has a library which is well-stocked with books and journals. However, the size of the library is too small to accommodate a student population of one thousand two hundred (1,200).
ii. Non–academic
(a) Recreational grounds: Winneba Senior High School is lucky to have a football and athletics field which serves the school and the Basic schools as well as the community. In fact the school field has a perfect oval for athletics which even attracts the HPERS department of the University of Education to use it for some of their programmes.
The school also has a basketball field which is not well developed even though the students are very interested in the game. We hope assistance will come from some organizations to develop it.
(b) P. T. A. Clinic: The school has a PTA clinic manned by two experienced qualified nurses and a locum nurse. The clinic has male and female wards furnished with 12 beds each. It also has an out outpatient department.
c. Counselling Programmes
Special counselling programmes dubbed “Home – -Room” are organized every Thursday from 7.55 am. At such programmes, student’s psychological and emotional needs that interfere with academic work are addressed.
