The school headteacher, Brian Sserugo, noted that in addition to Seeta Junior School Mukono’s outstanding academic performance—having ranked first nationally in the previous year’s Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE)—the institution is also making significant strides in nurturing and developing learners’ talents.
The chief guest, Stephen Ndegeya, an official from the Ministry of Lands and Urban Development, emphasized the transformative power of sports. He highlighted how Nelson Mandela used sports as a unifying tool during and after the struggle against apartheid, and later championed the hosting of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
“Through sports, South Africa gained global recognition and acceptance,” he said.
Ndegeya also underscored the valuable life lessons learners gain from sports, including teamwork, discipline, collaboration, and the ability to balance academics with co-curricular activities. He further noted that sports teach resilience, including how to accept both victory and defeat, while boosting learners’ self-esteem.
“These games you have participated in have helped build your confidence and self-worth,” he added.
