“O

ur vision for Mt. St. Mary’s Namagunga is to nurture young ladies who are academically excellent and morally upright, so that they can influence society for the good of our nation. To achieve this, we are following our motto “Per Scientiam Ad Virtutem” meaning “Through Knowledge to Virtue…” We are creating a culture in our school where they will love to study hard, be God fearing, and will have a heart for the community. With these principles well ingrained in them, the sky is the limit for our students.”

“Mt.

St. Mary’s Namagunga recently celebrated 75 years of academic excellence, and we have embarked on a strategic plan to overhaul the amenities of the institution.

“The Teaching Girl Child

The plan is very ambitious and will enhance the school significantly and requires all our stakeholders; be they parents, old girls, the church, staff, or students to hold hands and work together to succeed! At Namagunga, we use a holistic approach towards teaching the girl child; focussing not just on academics but also on enhancing infrastructure.

Susan Kanyemibwa

The way students enter the school isn’t the way they leave. They leave with more confidence, more competitiveness, more ethics, and more values!”

"Our

strength in Mt. St. Mary's Namagunga is the high level of discipline from both the staff and the students...

In Namagunga; hardwork, discipline, and prayer are very important. It's critical to realize that without God you can do nothing. I'd like to thank God for the gift of Namagunga and the strength that he has given us to keep the school at the highest level all of these years. I would also like to greatly appreciate the teachers and students for their commitment and hard work..."

“A

lumni are the school… Namagunga has been in existence for 76 years and during all that time thousands of ladies have passed through the school and without them we wouldn’t have what we have today...

“In

Existence For 76 Years

Alumni are the pride and the identity of Namagunga… They are the ladies who make the name of the school. The name that originates from all the girls who did great things and bit by bit came up with what Mount Saint Mary’s Namagunga has become. I’m most proud of Namagunga, because we are the BEST! I say this strongly because when I look around, the products that come from Namagunga are excellent and this excellence is derived from our urge to be good at what we do.”

students determine the best career direction for them by assessing their real interests, talents and ability. A class day is organized for each year group where motivation speakers who are former students of the school and parents are invited to speak. In Uganda, there is a ‘career At Mt.

This is done what they did not study. formally and informally. The talks given especially Everybody is involved from to Form 5 and 6 expose the wardens, support staff, teachers, the chaplain, to the them to various fields of work.

By not just given for the sake the end of the four years of passing it with flying a great number leave the colours but we look at the school when they are fairly various opportunities that independent young ladies are availed if a student takes who are focused and selfthat particular combination. driven. ducation is a lifelong process of teaching and learning, in order to acquire knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to understand and appreciate each other for the purpose of living together in harmony.

As a department we help

At O-level every student offers Literature in English;

this encourages the student to develop and maintain the habit of reading for pleasure thus promoting fluency in reading. Acquisition of reading skills is important because it helps one keep abreast with current affairs and information that is needed in all fields of life. Over the years the students are not as interested in the traditional professional courses (medicine, law, engineering and teaching) as before but more interested in business courses. Career guidance is important because it assists students in becoming responsible adults who can develop realistic and fulfilling life plans based on clear understanding of themselves their needs, interests, and skills.

Speech M y

s you can see, eehhm! The word ‘Awesome’ is crossed out. It’s no mistake! Infact, my life is a mistake! (Probably). I thought I’d be the only kid in my family (BUT !!!)….along came a brother, an annoying little pest to steal my spotlight and that wasn’t all he brought i.e enforcements.

“I’m going to be a pro, a champ, the fighter, 96

Huh! It was sas and also a “mistake” now…. These little radishes turned out to be the most magical phenomenon in my life …hehe. My besties, +1’s, my little hommies, good times! They were always there for me. Anywho ….I’d spend the whole day talking about my life, days and turkeys but, this story is about my “awesome” speech.

A w e s o m e

Technically, I’ve always been aweful at speeches, letter writing and all the other poetry involving doodad. I’d shy away infront of audiences, heh! In plays, it was worse! My voice would drown away and my limbs stiffen up! If you think that’s bad, you should have seen my classroom articles… nasty! This time, no jokes! I’ll put my brain to the task, rake it up and down and wear those brain gear. I’ve never been the best though my parents want me to be a leader….(sigh). I’m going to be a pro, a champ, the fighter, no goofing or slacking off this time. Think it’s a joke? You’re listening? Watch me! I’m going to rise and be the best.

Sure it sounds ridiculous that I want to be a senior rap artist. Everyone’s got dreams you know! Anyway that’s not the case. Does it sound dumb that everytime, I give an inspirational speech or the good advice once in a few months? Maybe! Now get this, I’m on my way to write….

The fall of night Killed the bright light, A dark shadow of great silence Thrown upon the dusk All alone couldn’t hear the cricket’s feet But the inner voice speaks, Lost thoughts run through my head No echo could sound, Myself wasn’t found. The bat fluttered across the skies, A dark body just alive. The night dead at that time.

100 DAYS

154

magine 100 days, 100 days of pain & suffering, Of heartbreak & heartache, Little girls & boys crying. Why? Because maybe they are hungry, Or maybe their parents have been killed. 100 days of trauma & insecurity, Children witnessing their parents’ murders, Mothers, of their husbands’ and children, Running, running & running, On the run from their own people, The people they said ‘hey’ to all the time. They seek solace in God’s house, Grieving & mourning the death of their loved ones, Memories, so many memories, good and bad. But then the pastors came in, Growing tired of helping & feeding them. These days are the days, That made Rwanda strong today. Caused by divisions, These days left people dead, weary & full of hatred. But you see, the hate actually did fade, And now the people of Rwanda are one, Time did stitch the wounds & mend broken hearts. So wherever you are, this teaches us to…… Just give it time.

Question of My Heart I just can’t tell, I don’t see Is it you or don’t I believe, Your name is scratched on my heart, But it fades away when I think too much.

Every scratch and bruise down with my moods, Should I attach your petal on a flower to my bouqet, Or break it off my tree branch. The heartache is burning too deep. The question in my head is whether we can be, Whether we can start a world and stop a legacy,

168

Print a mark and wipe away a tear. Maybe you’re the only answer to my scars, The one to break through my cage. But it just may be the opposite, Who knows if you won’t break me apart? You could be the one to drag my tears, And showcase my past imperfections, To those who care about me most And tear the bond drawn between us. It’s just once ; Give what I need and I’ll put a full stop on it.

Maybe you’re the only answer to my scars, p R I S C I L L A s . 2
