The traditional super performers in the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) Global Junior School Mukono have again done it, this time shining even brighter than in the previous years. Out of the total enrolment of 263 candidates, 232 passed in first grade, with 17 passing with aggregate 4 as compared to the previous year’s 15 candidates.
At the school it was all ululations, jubilation, dancing, singing and blowing vuvuzelas among teachers, learners and non-teaching staff without discrimination. The headteacher, Anthony Kato Ssentongo was lifted sky high by his teachers as a gesture of committed leadership enabling them to register such success.
Ssentongo who kept hugging his best performers who had turned up at the school, attributed the wonderful performance to the will of God who guided the teachers to teach their learners without any reservations.
“We give thanks to God who has made passing PLE with flying colours a tradition at Global Junior School,” he said.
He noted that the parents have been very co-operative despite the biting economic situation, and added that they have put a crucial brick in the pillar of setting a permanent state of victory for their learners even beyond their tuition period at Global Junior School.
The headteacher pointed out that since this year the school is marking twenty years of existence, the excellent performance is the adequate accountability the administration can show, adding that last year’s performance is the record in the school’s history.
Noah Mirimu, a son of Mukono Municipal council’s school inspector Nalugwa Birigenda is one of the 17 candidates who scored aggregate 4. Mirimu said he is eagerly waiting for the day he will travel to join King’s College Buddo to begin on his long career of a statistician.
And the mother who was all smiles for his son’s star performance, said she has no disappointments or regrets for having taken his son to Global Junior School because she said, she has got the worth of her tuition money.
“All my children have passed through Global Junior and with excellent performance. I am glad and give thanks to God that also Mirimu has made it. Bravo Global Junior School,” she said.
Also with aggregate 4, Natalie Akome who wishes to train and become an engineer after her secondary education, said she is eagerly looking at the day she will travel to Martyrs College Namugongo to begin her post-primary education.
Ashley Elungat thanked her teachers for having driven away from her the spirit of fear, doubt and panic, which enabled her to enter the examination room with a predetermined spirit of success even before starting to writer her examinations.
