Students have been encouraged to commit themselves to God if they are to excel in their education careers.
Presiding over the homily during the dedication mass for Senior Four candidates of St. Paul’s Vocational Secondary School Buyanja, held on Wednesday at St. Peter’s Catholic Church Buyanja, Rev. Fr. Alexander Muhumuza of Christ the King Kabale urged teachers to counsel and guide learners, noting that they are participating in the teaching ministry just as Jesus did.
Fr. Muhumuza asked the candidates to prioritize God and pray for divine guidance as they prepare for their final examinations. He emphasized that learners should have faith in Christ and surrender their lives to Him, saying that with God, everything is possible.
He further advised the candidates to avoid bad peer groups and to maintain discipline during the forthcoming long vacation. He also encouraged them to further their studies and complete the entire education cycle.
Fr. Muhumuza prayed for the candidates to have good health and confidence as they face their examinations so they may achieve excellent results.
In his remarks, the school headteacher, Mr. Patrick Tuhaise Omujuni, encouraged the students to believe in themselves, reminding them that the examinations are their personal accountability to both parents and teachers.
He appealed to parents to provide scholastic materials and other requirements to their children to avoid interruptions during the exam period, noting that teachers have fulfilled their responsibilities.
Mr. Patrick advised the candidates to stay focused, remain determined, and handle the examinations without panic in order to perform well. He also cautioned them against engaging in any form of examination malpractice, which could lead to the cancellation of their results.
A total of 154 Senior Four students have registered for this year’s UNEB examinations at St. Paul’s Vocational Secondary School Buyanja, comprising 67 males and 87 females.
