I had a great experience at Pope John Senior High School – MC Kabutey reveals
Ghanaian MC Alfred Kabutey Ocansey, popularly known as ‘MC Kabutey’, has shared fond memories of his time at Pope John Senior High School, describing his boarding school experience as one filled with unforgettable moments, friendships and lessons.
Ghanaian musician MC Kabutey, born Alfred Kabutey Ocansey, fondly reminisces about his time at Pope John Senior High School, describing it as a period of cherished memories, friendships and valuable lessons. In an interview on The Career Trail Season 4 on Joy Learning TV and Joy News, he shared how the sport of hockey played a significant role in his school life.
The sport was quite popular at Pope John during his time, as evidenced by its mention in the school prospectus. His mother, a former university hockey player, inspired his interest in the sport. Kabutey recalled the excitement of purchasing his own hockey stick from the market, a Slazenger fiberglass-coated one. He soon found his way into the school's hockey team, thanks to his mother's gift and the seniors' insistence on using his stick.
Despite his new role on the team, Kabutey also recounted a unique incident that marked his arrival at Pope John. In 1997, when he started his freshman year, the school's first-year students were initially accommodated in a room above the administration block. Due to a mix-up, about 12 to 16 first-year students, including Kabutey, shared a room with two senior students.
This arrangement earned them the nickname "Administration Top Boys". They were known for always having food available, making them a reliable source of sustenance for the seniors whenever they needed it.
