  3. 1.0INTRODUCTION I welcome you all to this year’s PTA Annual General Meeting. Thank you for coming. This is the second AGM I am attending as Headteacher of this school. I wish to express my gratitude to you all for the support you have given me in the two years I have been here. We share the credit for what has been achieved.

  4. This AGM is a special one, in that we are electing a new PTA Executive committee. The outgoing executive committee has been very supportive to our administration and that explains why we have been able to achieve so much in a short time. In a special way I thank the Chairman, Dr. Timothy Mutesasira for his guidance and support. Your executive Committee takes credit for the tremendous improvement in the teachers’ welfare, rapid infrastructural development and general improvement of the teaching and learning environment.

  5. Specific projects undertaken by the PTA Executive include: Completion and commissioning of the A-Level Girls Dormitory. Start of the classroom Block. Extension of the water supply and rehabilitation of houses in the Teachers’ village. Increment of the Teachers’ allowance. Increment of the Performance Awards. Improvement of the girls’ dormitories. Acquisition of school Bus Completion of the Chapel. Improved management of the school farm. Stocking of the library. Improved management of uniforms.

  6. 2.0 STUDENT AFFAIRSEnrolment

  7. We have tried to mitigate the effects of increased enrolment by recruiting more teachers, sensitizing ourselves about strategies of handling larger numbers and expansion of accommodation facilities. The medium term plans are to have more classrooms, expansion of the dining hall, expansion of the sports facilities and the sick bay.

  8. Meals- The school continues to provide a balanced diet with a variety of foodstuffs like Matooke, Cassava, sweet potatoes, posho, beans, beef, fruits and eggs on Sunday. • Uniform- The school has provided all the uniforms that are due to the students. There are however some few students who have trimmed the size of trousers, sweaters, shirts and skirts. Once they are found, the trimmed uniform is confiscated and they are asked to go home and pick money for a new uniform.  • Accommodation – The improvement of the accommodation facilities is an on-going exercise.

  9. Girls’ End- Additional walkways, drainage channels, and washing bays have been put in place. Bathrooms have been repaired. The HSC Girls dormitory was completed and commissioned on 4th August 2014 by the Speaker of the Parliament of Uganda , the Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga. It was named “Prof Victoria NakibonekaMwaka”. • Boys’ End- A septic tank for the water borne toilets is to be constructed next term. A bathroom block for senior one and two is to be constructed starting this term.
