As we prepare to celebrate this years womens day next Sunday 8th March 2020, the Greenhill Schools
had their annual womens day celebrations today.

As has always been the Greenhill Schools Culture, the ladies of the Greenhill Schools are always given
an opportunity to stage an assembly to honor the International Womens Day. 

This years assembly themed, I am Generation Equality; Respecting Womens Rights", was indeed a
special one with the Right Honorable Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Rebecca Kadaga present as the Guest
of Honor.
The event also had the Minister of Health, Hon. Jane Aceng, the Chairman of the Greenhill Academy
Limited Board, Eng. Proscovia Njuki, the Rector, Mrs. Joy Veronica Maraka and the entire school
community of parents, staff and pupils in attendance.

During this impressive assembly, the ladies of Greenhill Academy Primary-Kibuli, Greenhill Academy
Secondary-Kibuli and Greenhill Primary School Buwaate showcased their creativity, speech, music,
dance and drama skills; not forgetting their remarkable style with a touch of African fabric.

The Greenhill Schools once again proved to be the best in the Swimming sport after they scooped 3 top
awards during this year's edition of the Uganda Swimming Federation (USF)-DStv Excellence Awards
held on Friday 16th February at GEMS Cambridge International School.

During this prestigious night in the Swimming fraternity, Greenhill Academy Primary Kibuli was awarded
Best Primary School; Greenhill Academy Secondary Kibuli awarded the Best Secondary School and the
Greenhill brand awarded the most supportive sponsor of the swimming sport.

Receiving the awards on behalf of the school were the Head of School Greenhill Academy Primary Kibuli,
Mr. Moses Kirinya and the Deputy Head of the 'A' Level Section Mr. Lukeera Stanley who thanked the
USF for the tremendous contribution it is making in the Sports industry.

Congratulations to all the winners of the night. Congratulations to our swimming team that has raised
the Greenhill banner high.

In order to set the yardstick for assemblies and academic work, the teachers of the
Greenhill Schools always take charge of the first assemblies of the term. On the 6 th
February 2020, the Greenhill Primary School Buwaate teachers opened this year’s
exciting series of teachers’ assemblies with a marvellous assembly themed ‘Christ in
Me’. This was then followed by another jam-packed assembly themed ‘A Decade of
Passion and Excellence’ by the Greenhill Academy Primary Kibuli teachers staged on the
7 th February 2020. This series of teachers’ assemblies was concluded on the 10 th of
February 2020 by the Greenhill Academy Secondary teachers who left their students
amazed with a breath taking assembly themed ‘Celebrity Unity in Diversity in Greenhill’.

The assemblies comprised many items that were all breathtakingly interesting. These
included powerful praise and worship sessions, prayers, mimes, skits, traditional and
creative dances.

The praise and worship sessions of each of the assemblies were full of energy and
spiritually moving.

When it came to the different dances presented, one cannot find the words befitting to
describe the creativity displayed by the teachers. These were indeed exquisite and left
the audience of excited students impressed by the skills and talent their teachers have.

There is no doubt that all the items presented were diverse and fully depicted the
themes of each of the assemblies.

The skit presented by the Secondary teachers demonstrated the need for us all to
embrace our differences and function as a unit; that of the Greenhill Buwaate teachers
depicted how students that do not have Christ in them behave poorly and how they can
be helped to reform while, that of the Greenhill Primary Kibuli teachers showed that; in
order for students to excel in all they do, they need to be passionate.

Academic items were also incorporated in each of the assemblies for example; the
secondary physics teachers brought the Newton’s Law of Motion to life with a creative
practical item.

The remarks by the different offices of the school at the tail end of each of the
assemblies were informative and gave the students the positive energy to begin the new
term.

Welcome back to school; cheers to yet another beautiful term and opportunity to be
excellent in all aspects.

Friday 08^th November 2019 brought to a close a buzzy week that had students running helter-skelter polishing their presentations for the first-ever clubs’ bonanza for the secondary section. It was no easy fete.

This glamourous event kicked off at 03:00pm at the school’s assembly quadrangle. The theme for the day was “Talent Expressed!” Indeed, by close of that day, the theme had been exhausted by the stunning exhibitions from the various clubs.

Mrs. Ritah Kavuma, the Deputy Headteacher in charge of the Lower Primary Section, Greenhill Academy Primary Kibuli, graced the bonanza as the Chief Guest. From the preparations to the presentations on stage, the day promised a cutthroat competition.

The battle stage was shared among the following clubs:

• Music Dance And Drama Club
• Art And Design Club
• Poetry Club
• Debate And Public Speaking Club
• Journalism Club

The table of adjudicators ensured a fair fight and the vocal emcees of the day; Ms. Hamisa Faruki and Mr. Nyang Andrew led onto the stage event after event. From the beaming faces of the audience, it was clear the entire school was in for an exciting afternoon.

Notable among the exhilarating presentations were the dazzling well-choreographed dances from the MDD club. It was a sight to marvel at. The art and design club brought the Louis Vuitton runway to stage with the amazing fashion show. The creativity in the designs was ingenious.

Poetry recitations and news items were among the mix of activities that afternoon. The news anchors got the audience ‘glued’ to the imaginary television set. The costuming and the perfect articulation of words with a touch of foreign accent did the trick.

With the above buzz of activities going on, then came the debate and public speaking club. It was the intriguing arguments raised during the various debate formats and the swiftness in thoughts from the various speakers that left the audience awed.

The climax of the day was during the public speaking contest where students were required to imitate an international public orator. This was when it all came down to the late Nelson Mandela. Donned in an African print shirt with ‘grey’ hair, a one Okiria Aldo Jude gave the audience a reincarnation of the African icon.  From that point on, it was clear that the debate and public speaking club was going for the gold. It was a sight to envy.

When all was said and done, the adjudicators had the gruelling task of ranking all these amazing pieces. The chief adjudicator of the day came on at the tail end of the event to announce the positions and at that moment, one could hear their heartbeat!

The final positions were as below:

1. Debate And Public Speaking Club
2. Music Dance And Drama Club
3. Art And Design Club
4. Journalism Club
5. Poetry Club

The victor club was awarded a trophy and prize money amidst cheers and celebrations. The first and second runners-up got trophies each. It was the perfect day to waive off the learners for their end of year examinations.
