The donation was in response to a request by the science department of the school to help it improve the teaching and learning of science.
Making the presentation, the General Manager of the company, Mr Bernard A. Havor, said it was part of the company’s corporate social responsibility to support institutions in its catchment areas.
He noted that the donation also formed part of the 10th anniversary celebrations of the company which is slated for the latter part of this year.
According to him, the television was also to enable the science club of the school to view science-based audio-visual tapes to enable the students to better appreciate and understand most of the things they were taught in class.
He appealed to the authorities of the school to maintain the television to ensure that it benefited future generations.
The headmistress of the school, Mrs Agnes Leticia Hawkson, who received the items, expressed gratitude to the company and said it was a very important teaching and learning aid for science and added that it would improve the performance of the students.
She was hopeful that the gesture would further strengthen the bond between the company and the school and that the company would regularly aid the school.
