Bagimu pupils wow parents with specials skills as year closes

Last Sunday was a day never to forget for visitors and parents who thronged Bagimu Pre and Primary School in Wakiso for the end of year concert.

Pupils took to the stage with richly informative, educative and entertaining items such as creative dances, singing, poems, drama, news reading and parliamentary session.

For the parents and other guests smiling from ear to ear and ululating with joy was a constant feature from morning to evening.

The day coincided with the World Aids Day and the teachers had made efforts to prepare a drama skit advising pupils and parents about the dangers of HIV/Aids.

The Guest of Honour, Wakiso Woman MP Ethel Naluyima, hailed the school for imparting pupils with special skills in music, drama, poetry and debating.

“Our pupils need to gain more than class work from schools. In as much as we need to learn as prescribed by the government syllabuses, these pupils need to take an extra mile by practicing and developing their talents,” Naluyima noted.

The school’s Director, Juliet Kabengwa, called for recognition of humanity subjects.

“The arts provide a platform for our students to express themselves, to develop their creativity, and to build their confidence. They also provide a unique opportunity for our pupils to come together, to collaborate, and to support one another,” she said.

“Tonight’s concert is a celebration of our school’s commitment to providing an all-round education that nurtures the whole child. It is a testament to the power of the arts to bring us together, to inspire us, and to uplift us,” Kabengwa added.

After speeches, sumptuous lunch was served and everyone ate as much as they could.

The day climaxed with the graduation of more than 30 pupils from Top Class to Primary One.

Below are some of the moments we captured during the day.
