Arlington Junior School has for long had challenges of access to clean and safe water for students, staff and general use. Management had several engagements with engineers from Eastern Umbrella and they have agreed to provide us with water at both projects. We are happy that our friend Ben Schoebrun, who also serves as board member of REACH for Uganda has helped to fund all the installation of gravity clean water by Eastern Umbrella. We are excited by the impact this project will have on AJS and the Arlington Secondary and Vocational School.
We were also introduced to Uganda Water Project team and the clean water project was launch by Benjamin at AJS and hopes to work and complete it so that there is clean and safe water for everyone especially to students on our programs. This water is rain harvested and treated with the containers that have filters as per the photos shown below. The students at AJS as well as staff are already drinking the safe water.
Teacher Trip led by Tr. Inga the Principal of Arlington Traditional School (ATS). During March, Arlington Junior School was humbled to receive the Assistant principal of ATS, Mrs. Inga Schoebrun and Teacher Jenifer Leach who
came over and immersed teachers into serious professional learning that will help steer our school forward.
The knowledge will go along to create a unique educational environment where students enjoy modern and
personalized approach to education as teachers incorporate a variety of pedagogical perspectives to
teaching and learning that enable pupils become partners in their education experience.
Its a pleasure to report that in the 2023 Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) all of our students at Arlington Junior School ( AJS) and Matuwa Junior School (MJS) have passed! We celebrate with our staff and students on this achievement.
Arlington Junior School did exceptionally well; 97% of AJS students scored in Division One, placing it in the top 1000 schools in the country. Henry Nakwekwe got a perfect score of 4 aggregates, and was the first student in the school’s history to get a perfect score. Best girl Naburonya Zaidat Rajab, Namanda Daniel and Shikanga Job Wakwaale got 5 aggregates. All our students did very well in the PLE and we are very proud of them. AJS was the best performing school in the Bududa District and these were the best PLE scores in AJS history.
At Matuwa Junior School, this was only the second year that students sat for the PLE. We are very proud that every student passed, and all of these students will go on to secondary school.
This great performance at both of our schools is a testament to our hardworking teachers, staff, students, their supportive families, and our wonderful sponsors and supporters! A special thanks go to our partner schools in the US – the teachers, students and parents of Arlington Traditional School, Tuckahoe Elementary School, Nottingham Elementary School, Discovery and Silverbr
Alington Junior School students in primary seven sat their Primary Leaving Examination in November,2023 and they had the honor to host the Bishop of Mbale, the Rt. Rev. John Nandaah who led them in prayer. They were encouraged and advised on how to approach the exams and asked not to be anxious in his remarks.
Afterwards, AAH hosted a farewell party for them, where they played games such as cornhole, jump rope and dancing. Cornhole teams represented both the US and Uganda with Team US taking the win. Best wishes to them.
