We believe it’s important for children to have a holistic education and that education is best when it combines the pursuit of academic excellence with the development of character. That’s why we’re proud of our co-curricular activities, and why our pupils are excelling inside–and outside–the classroom.
By participating in a wide range of co-curricular activities, our pupils have the opportunity to pursue their passions, and develop skills such as leadership and teamwork.
For many in our communities, the opportunity to participate in tournaments, festivals and competitions opens up a whole new world of travel and experience that they may not otherwise be exposed to.
Pupils enjoy a range of games from football to netball. It teaches them about the importance of teamwork. Our pupils compete in a wide range of tournaments, giving them the chance to travel, meet and play against children from elsewhere in their country.
Many pupils take part in chess which challenges them to think strategically. Succeeding at chess takes a lot of practice and many children are very dedicated to their chosen sport. They have been so successful that they have represented their schools, and even Uganda, at international tournaments across Africa.
Our pupils enjoy debate club, in their own school and competing against other schools. They take it in turns to present arguments and respond to the other side. It teaches them public speaking and it also develops critical thinking.
Song and dance is an important part of community life. Pupils take part in performances; festivals and events across Uganda, giving them an opportunity to showcase their skills. They often compete in music competitions and do really well at local, district and national levels.
