Developments:
In 2006, the school acquired land 100 meters from its former premises which were being rented and has been able to build its own premises with classes, Administration block, computer room, kitchen and latrines. The school complex is yet to be completed
The Plan
Strategy;
To attract material and financial resources from development partners to set up a modern campus with finished classrooms, laboratories, Dormitories, Dinning hall, Library and recreational grounds for games both in door and out door.
To gradually increase the intake of orphans and marginalized children by subsidizing their school fees.
Capacity Development plan;
As the school grows, changes are expected in organisation structure and ownership.
The school is a member of several organisations such as;
* Uganda National Examination Board – where teachers mark exams at O’ Level and A’ Level
* Ministry of Education and Sports - Selection exercise
* Uganda Private Schools Association – Seminars on capacity building.
* Services of an external auditor to ensure external assistance is well managed to sustain the capacity acquired.
* Through the wild life club, students and teachers learn about environmental conservation.
Financial plan;
The school needs external assistance of over Ushs 450 million (US $ 255,000 ) to finance the finishing of our modern classrooms, Dormitories, Library, dinning hall and Laboratories.
Priority projects;
The following projects merit separate treatment;
• subsidizing of orphans and managerial children’s tuition fees
• Purchase of more computer sets to improve the administration and conduct more classes in computer literacy to students and people of the community
• Purchase of a school truck for transporting school items, students and staff.
• Purchase of land adjacent to the school campus
• Teacher houses
• Acquire land for Agriculture for the students
• Vocational education
Resource requirements;
Internal:
The school fees paid cannot adequately cater for recurrent expenditures.
External:
It’s hoped that 20% of the planned development will be financed from share holder capital, 20% from soft loans and commercial loans and 60% from donations and grants.
