Secondary years are such a special and important time in our lives, so we hope to create some very special memories during the time your child spends with us.
At Mount Olives College kakiri, every child matters. Practitioners tune into your child and support their learning through well planned, stimulating and exciting activities in a safe and secure learning environment. We aim to create a real love of learning which will last with your child forever.
We believe the success to your child’s education is very much a partnership between home, school and the community. When your child starts secondary, it is not where your job ends and ours begins, it is where our job begins and yours continues. Children come to secondary with such a wealth of experience and knowledge archived from primary level. It is our aim to build on this together, with parents to ensure that every child, no matter what ability or background really does get the best education. Parental input and involvement is so important in secondary life, please always find ways you can support your child at home and in secondary.
I am proud to be the Principal/ Head Teacher of Mount of Olives College Kakiri. We have a very dedicated and committed team who strive for the best outcomes for every child. The children are delightful and make this school a happy place to study in. We are among the best Secondary schools in Uganda.

We are fully registered by the Ministry of Education and Sports and our staff are highly trained and experienced. We have a fully qualified Deputy Head Teacher, Director of Studies and fully qualified teachers who lead the outstanding levels of teaching and learning.

WHY YOUR CHILD SHOULD ENROLL WITH OUR SCHOOL
Every Child Matters
We run programmes to support the learning ability of every child because we believe evry child has a potential to learn and achieve.
Life Education
Once a week, each class is given a lesson in ‘Life Education’ which involves imparting skills in personal, social, health and leadership education. This empowers students to succeed and cope with life’s challenges in the 21st century.
Developing a reading culture
The students are given the opportunity to develop their reading skills through literature classes, leisure reading of novels, magazines and newspapers, and through research using textbooks and e-learning materials.
School Family Initiative (SFI)
Every student is allocated a ‘Teacher Parent’ who works as a personal tutor and mentor to the student, providing guidance and motivation. The tutors are also responsible for sharpening students’ skills of health management in addition to providing information on HIV/AIDS prevention.
Career Education
Students must be given a reason for studying and this is done through career guidance. All the teachers engage in educational and career guidance at class, house and tutor levels. Career guidance is also taught as a component of Life Education.
