Here are some highlights:

Our S.1 and S.2 chemistry students embarked on an educational trip to the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC).

This particular trip allowed our girls to see practically how water treatment and sewage management systems work and this exposure is invaluable not only for understanding the class work but it lays foundation especially for girls that aspire to be environmental scientist, engineers, or public health officers. Thanks to the chemistry department

I have liked the debating
Thank you
If there’s one thing that makes STEGS unique, it is it’s diverse character. I chose to join after a brief phone conversation with the Honourable Director, Sylivia Namanidde Ssinabulya, and found out that students – unlike in most other schools in our country these days – come from all corners of the country and beyond.
AND, yes, I am very happy to stay because by teaching students from as far as Karamoja and Gulu or West Nile to the nort;Teso, Bukedi and Busoga to the East: Bunyoro’s Hoima and Toro to the West, the Greater Ankole, Kigezi and Kisoro to the South as well as the entire Greater Buganda in Central region – not forgetting our international reception, I am convinced I am offering my service to global citizens.
My understanding of the achievements we are so proud of, especially in recent times, is but only a manifestation of that which was bound to happen. STEGS’ vision says so much and, the Directorate deserves a pat on the back!
Thank you Mr. Satu
We pray for further extension as the school lifts up girl child,….
