We now have seven classrooms which are not enough for the
big numbers in some classes. Some classes need steaming but due to the number
of classrooms available pupils stay together in congested rooms.
Last year we had one latrine with only five stances for
pupils and teachers but HYT and the Rotary club have constructed for us
another block with five stances. We appreciate their contribution towards
making a real place.
we were allocated a water tank by Kamuli Local Government in
the year 2006. We have been using that tank and we are still using it still the
HYT and Rottary club have constructed for us two more water tanks. We dont
think we have the words suitable enough for thank you for this.
The HYT still renovated the school kitchen and made it
energy saving. They also bought us two big saucepans for preparing the meals.
They inproved the floor for P4. That class near the
headteachers office. it had become a stock for jiggers in this school. We thank
them. The entire community is grateful.
More still HYT Members gave the school sports uniform and a
guitar. I term this school big now because of HYT.
The most valuable project of teachers quarters had made
everybody in Makoka and the entire district happy. Six teachers can now reside
at the school. We thank you the HYT group. We request you to extend our
gratitude to the donors in the UK for these developments.
With all these developments, we expect the following.
Increase in enrolment
Improvement in academic performance
Improvement in attendance of teaching and pupils
Save fuel for cooking
lastly I'm deeply indebted to the HYT group for the
unwavering support to this school and the entire community. We now look like
that place in Haileybury itself. I thank everybody for coming.
For god and my country.
Kateega Robinah Zikusooka, Headteacher.
