The event saw both pupils and students in several performances in arts, science and sports.

In an address to mark the day, Wing Commander Hilda Akuo­ko Adjei of the Ghana Air Force, said that it was important to make discipline a habit in all spheres of life as it is the bedrock of success.

“It is often said that being successful is not about just talent and intelligence, but about con­sistent effort and focused dedication and discipline is the tool that enables us to remain consis­tent in our efforts and stay dedicated so that we can harness our potential and turn it into tangible achievements,” she said.

She said: “In the realm of academic success, discipline man­ifests in various ways, including regular attendance to classes, diligent study habits, seeking assistance when needed, and a commitment to lifelong habits.”

According to her, discipline ex­tends beyond the confines of the classroom and school grounds; it permeates every aspect of our lives, influencing our rela­tionships, careers, and personal growth. Even in moments of worship or inline interactions, discipline should play a pivotal role.

Wing Commander Adjei ad­monished the pupils and students to see discipline as a mindset and make conscious efforts to prior­itise their long-term goals over short-term gratifications, adding “It requires embracing discom­fort and uncertainty, understand­ing that growth beyond comfort zones.”

She charged the pupils and students to see discipline as a character and personality trait that must and should be devel­oped and not see it as a burden.
