Visiting the schools in July

P1030778Hilary and I have just returned from Uganda, where we visited Isaac Newton High School and Mustard Seed School.

It was good to have time to have a good look around each school and to see that they are both progressing well.

We saw lessons in progress, spoke with scholarship and other students and with members of the teaching staff. In the picture, right, Peter Kisirinya, the Isaac Newton School Director, is leading a Physics practical class, where students are being shown how to construct electric circuits and measure resistance along them.

We also met the school nurses and were told about the work of the new health clinics in each school.

P1030999The picture left show the hustings in progress at Mustard Seed School for Head Girl and Head Boy and senior prefects. As the people selected have to represent students views to senior staff, they are selected in open democratic elections by the student body.
