School Programs

Academic Programme

In an institution like this one, delivering quality Education does not occur by chance, it involves consistent, persistent planning and implementation of the academic programmes. Jinja College has a strong, committed, devoted and God fearing staff that has religiously planned, implemented and evaluated the academic programme. They leave no stone unturned in the bid to ensure academic success in the school. No wonder we are among the best institutions in the District and in the Country

Co- curricular activities

One of our core values is wholesomeness. We there make a deliberate effort to nurture our students’ talents in co-curricular activities as well. This year, just like in the past the students participated in various co-curricular activities at different level. Such activities include; games, sports, music, dance, drama, athletics and debates, and Essay writing. In Chess, one of the famous games here in school, the team came out as winners at the National level in 2019. One of our students Batambuze Amisi S.4E was 3^rd best in the Africans schools tournament. Participants were drown from Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. In the National Insurance Essay writing and drawing competition, our students took the first position, 1^st runners up and 2^nd runners up. The school Handball team also took the Jinja District trophy.

Welfare

The school looks after its staff and students very well.

• Meat/fish/chicken is served fortnightly and on every public holiday

• The staff members receive their food basket in time.
• The allowances for staff are paid promptly thus, PTA allowances, child assistance allowances, house rent, transport extra teaching allowances and night lessons allowance.

Discipline

The students’ discipline has continued to improve save for a few misguided students who earned themselves an indefinite suspension. We still have a handful of students who can never settle down during prep time. But the team in-charge of prep is on the ground and handles the issues very professionally.

• Teachers’ workshop and ASSHU meetings

Our teachers are facilitated to attend various workshops in different subjects in the course of the year. This is intended for capacity building and professional development.

• The Head teacher and the deputy Head teachers attended the Regional and National ASSHU workshops in Bugiri and Arua respectively. These workshops are good in that governance and management skills are given. We appreciate the BOG and PTA for sponsoring these trainings.
