On February 5, 2024, John Paul Secondary School opened its doors to our students who were eagerly waiting to get back to their studies and to see their friends again after their 2-month end-of-year break. They were warmly greeted by Fr John Chrysostom, Director, Moses Bwayo, Headteacher, and all the teachers. When our students return to school after a long break, it’s much like moving back into a college dorm. They must bring all their clothing and personal items in one trunk plus they bring their own mattresses, linens, and mosquito netting. They are accompanied by their parents or guardians who bring them to school by bus or car and…

Our students just completed Term 1 on April 29, 2023.  They continue to excel in their academics and we look forward to another successful year for all of them. Last year, all 108 S4 JPSS students passed their UCE exams. These impressive results made John Paul Secondary School the #1 ranked school, of 28 secondary schools, in the Pallisa District. In addition, 24 of our S6 students sat for their UACE exams. The results of this exam determine a student’s ability to move on to University. Twenty-three of our students scored well enough to qualify and four of these S6 students are now eligible to receive government scholarships to University.…

The exams that these students take last for several days. Students take 10 subject exams and can earn scores of 1-10. A “1” means the student scored…

There was a flurry of excitement on the campus of John Paul Secondary School on Monday, February 6, 2023, as we opened our doors to begin the new school year.  We were thrilled to welcome 100+ bright-eyed, anxious S-1 students to JPSS as they leave primary school and begin their secondary school experience.  When added to the S-2, S-3, S-4, and S-6 students we already have a thriving campus of 607 students. And, we await the return of our S-5 students who cannot return until March 6, 2023. The students and teachers are on a “high” after learning of how well our S-4 candidates scored on the UCE exams!
