The Director of Studies, Charles Kato Nsubuga, expressed appreciation to all stakeholders, particularly parents, for entrusting the school with their children. Kato emphasized that nurturing students’ talents does not interfere with academic performance.
“Developing talents does not encroach on the students’ ability to excel academically,” he said, adding that the school has produced several musicians who are making a mark in the entertainment industry, including Rema Namakula, Hellena Nanjego, May Ruth and Martin Nkoyoyo a.k.a Yoyo, among others.
Delivering his homily, the school chaplain, Fr. John Kato, thanked the candidates for maintaining the school’s strong academic reputation. Fr. Kato urged continuing and new students to embrace the institution’s modern teaching approaches and uphold discipline.
“St. Balikuddembe achieves these good grades for several reasons, including discipline,” Fr. Kato said. “If you are a new student and struggle with indiscipline, change before it is too late.”
The thanksgiving Mass concluded with renewed commitment from both staff and students to maintain academic excellence and strong moral values in the years ahead.
