He reassured candidates to use the remaining time appropriately to succeed in their final exams where he advised them to remain disciplined, calm, and focused, emphasizing them to desist from anything that may disrupt or hinder their performance.
Bishop Ahimbisibwe appreciated Mr. Joseph Muganga the school head teacher who is soon retiring for the good work he has done together with his staff and school stakeholders for revamping the school which has come back on track.
Lilian Ahimbisibwe, wife of Bishop Nathan Ahimbisibwe, expressed concern about the declining number of men in society and called for greater attention to the boy child, emphasizing the importance of gender balance in the future explaining that the current national census shows that females are more than males.

Twine Joseph Muganga, the head teacher, thanked Bishop Nathan for his positive keen interest in the school and for recommending developmental oriented Board of governors’ members who have helped them in making the school strong again.
