KPS holds dedication prayers for P.7 candidates

"You ought to develop a habit of putting God first in whatever you do and the same should be with these upcoming PLE exams. Search for divine intervention and you will be rewarded handsomely," said Fr Joseph Ruzindana, head of youth, Kampala Arch diocese.

"Ask and you will get. It is only God who gives wisdom, when King Solomon asked for wisdom, he was duly given. Ask for wisdom and God will gladly give it you."

Fr Ruzindana was speaking during the dedication prayers for P.7 Candidates at Kampala Parents School. The dedication prayers attracted parents, teachers, well-wishers and the pupils themselves.

In his sermon, Ruzindana said devine power is the biggest gift anyone can have and thus called on both parents and pupils to embrace God in all their endeavors. He also called on the candidates to be mentally, physically and emotionally strong as they prepare for their Primary Leaving Examinations.

The principal of the school, Daphne Kato said they are have prepared the pupils in all ways possible and are ready for the challenge. "We have done everything we can and we now live the rest to God," Kato said.

"I have been cooperative, hardworking and attentive in class and am confident I will do well in PLE. I also had a sister who got aggregate five and she was taught by the same teachers who have been teaching me, am therefore very confident that I will do well," Asgerali says.
