“We made sure that every requirement needed for good performance was provided,” Ssentongo said, adding that the school also introduced a new approach to learning that integrates extracurricular skills training (Technical and Vocational Education and Training – TVET).
Beyond academics, students at St. John’s SS Namuyenje are equipped with practical skills such as sewing, computer literacy, motor mechanics, bakery and other hands-on activities. According to the headmaster, this initiative ensures that learners leave school not only with academic certificates but also with valuable life skills.
Mathematics emerged as the best-performed subject at the school. Mathematics teacher Nankinga Benita credited the success to consistent assessment and thorough preparation.
“My strategy was simple but effective,” she explained. “We organized three tests per week and followed them with general revision after completing the syllabus on time.”
The students, visibly proud of their achievements, praised their teachers, parents and the school administration for their dedication and encouragement.
Among the top performers was Katongole Pascal, who scored 7As and 2Bs, while Kemigisha Bamuleke Shamia attained 5As and 5Bs. Namulisa Railey also stood out with 6Bs, alongside several other high achievers.
The learners expressed gratitude for the school’s supportive environment, noting that they were rarely sent home over unpaid school fees. Instead, the administration allowed them to continue studying even when their balances were not cleared at the beginning of term.
As celebrations continue, St. John’s SS Namuyenje stands as a testament to the impact of dedicated leadership, innovative teaching methods and a supportive learning environment in shaping academic excellence.
