This term was too short, you can also agree after seeing the children already back.  
Officially all the Schools in Uganda opened yesterday 16th/September and on arrival, children being checked of the School requirements. On the second day, Primary resumed it’s  normal lessons and with High School, students are facing beginning of term three tests as it has been in the past, to wake them from holiday sleep.
What we can say , is that our children have reported in a big number just on the first day, very surprising! We are also grateful to God for our guardians who have struggled to get them all the requirements. Above all, all the children came back healthy and with all the vigor to start from where they ended.
This term more effort is going to be put in by all our staff in order to realize our dreams/ target because we have two candidate classes that include Senior Four and Primary Seven.
Pray with us that as God has been always on our side, we shall still triumph over.

Both Kimbilio Primary and High School Staff reported a week in advance to start planning, scheming and putting ideas together for smooth running of the term. This third term is beginning on Monday 16th/September/2019 and will run for some two months.
Besides teachers getting ready for this term, our builders are also working hard to get the new High School Administration Offices ready and also putting on roof tiles.
This office is going to ease teachers’ movements and help to improve on supervision of children because it has been put next to classrooms.

Today marks the end of term two after twelve weeks of serious study. Children are very happy to go home for some three weeks of holiday.
The whole of this week, it has been so busy and hectic by the teachers trying to work hard , and meet the deadline.
 


All the children were issued with report cards apart from Senior four students who are still waiting for their results because they did external Mocks exams. There has been a very serious academic improvement in almost all the classes,for instance in primary two, two pupils emerged number one in position, some thing which shows some stiff competition among the students. The ones who were once weak academically, have now taken over the best positions. The teachers read this term’s best performers from position one to three per class and this motivated them.
Both Schools a day before their holiday, staff meetings were held to see how the term ends and also some communication by different staff to the children on how to keep and protect themselves while way from school. Among the advise received included; maintaining discipline wherever they are, not to forget about their books( studies), not to loose hope because of their results/ performance but rather putting more effort towards their goal.
This is one of the shortest holiday that is going to take us only three weeks and be back by 16th/September to push for third term.

One of the heavy projects is this of putting the tiles because it is so expensive.

This last bit of roof covers three classes and the wash rooms, which were remaining on the side of the primary section. We are excited to have this project finished.
The roof has taken over 9700 tiles and three days to fix. Our structure is now protected from the rain and makes the beauty of the school come out nicely.
