Rubaga's alumni form association after 50 years

The alumni of Our Lady Queen of Africa Girls Secondary School, Rubaga, have been asked to have solid confidence, determination and trust in God, in order to prevail over their challenges and be successful in life. The alumni have further been asked to have a sense of unity, and also, to support their school.

Speaking to the alumni during their first ever re-union function at the school on Sunday May 8, the head teacher of the school, Rev. Sr. Claire of Assisi Nakubulwa said: "As former students of the school, you are expected to live out virtues such as love, solidarity and confidence, which you learned from here.  When the power of love for the school is strong, there is no fear that changing times and circumstances will affect you and your association."

Prof. Grace Bantebya Kyomuhendo was elected as the pioneer President of the Association.  Mrs. Ellen Najjuma Kulwazi was elected as the Vice-President. Others elected were Patience Birungi (Secretary), Gloria Nalule (Vice-Secretary) and Jane Tumuhairwe (Secretary).
