The management of Kitala Secondary School organized a solemn mass to bless both senior four and senior six candidates as they prepare for their crucial examinations, the Uganda Certificate of Education (U.C.E) and the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (U.A.C.E), respectively.
The service was a spiritual sanctuary, filled with fervent prayers, uplifting hymns, and inspiring messages for both the candidates and graduates who excelled in DIT training.
The mass was led by Rev. Fr. Solomon Kavuba whose words were a source of comfort and encouragement, reminding the students of the importance of hard work, dedication, and unwavering faith.
He prayed to the Lord to grant them calm hearts, clear minds and confidence that comes from trusting in God as the Holy Spirit reminds them of all they have learned, and their hard work bears good fruit as the lord protects them from fear and discouragement, giving them honest, focused and peaceful in every paper they write.
“We wish you good luck. We wish you good health, and may God watch over you as you begin your examinations until the day you finish,” Fr. Kavuba concluded.
Ronald Kalema, the Katabi town council chairperson, who was the guest of honour, encouraged the students, both candidates and graduates, to reflect on what has been taught as they focus on success.
He also emphasized the significance of the support system surrounding them, including their families, teachers, and the broader community.
The school head teacher, Joseph Luswata said that as the school they had done their work and on top of that they dedicated them to the Lord leaving the ball in the students’ hands.
“We handed them over to God with their parents, so that whatever they are going to do here. Must have a godly hand when they are writing their exams. They should not be tempted to teach an exam. They should work according to the requirements of the neighbour rules and regulations, and above all, by God’s will, because God gave them knowledge and skills. God gave them knowledge. They should sit their exams by themselves, trusting in God, and they will write the right exams,” he said.
Andrew Ddamba, the representative of the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT), explained that the assessment exercise was completed successfully at the school, and students who engaged in the training were able to complete and submit their work on time and finally passed well.
He, however, pointed out the need for more learners to engage in such training and therefore appealed to the parents to get their children interested in Industrial skilling, saying, “It’s the only way to solve the unemployment challenges.”
As the students embarked on this pivotal stage of their academic journeys, Rev. Fr. Kavuba’s blessings and all the speakers’ words served as a powerful catalyst, fueling their determination and instilling in them the confidence to excel.
