Humanities Department end of year article
As the academic year ends, the Humanities Department at KISU celebrates a year of meaningful learning across History, Geography, ICT and Digital Societies, Business Studies, and Global Perspectives. In History, students explored major world events, key turning points, and developed strong source analysis skills. Geography lessons focused on environmental systems, urban growth, and population trends, all tied to real-world issues through research and inquiry. ICT and Digital Societies encouraged students to think critically about digital ethics, citizenship, and the influence of technology in today’s world.
Meanwhile, Business Studies learners explored entrepreneurship, marketing, and financial literacy, even developing and pitching business models. Through Global Perspectives, students investigated pressing global issues—from sustainability to cultural identity—strengthening their research, collaboration, and critical thinking.
We are deeply grateful to our committed teaching team: Mr. Buga, Mr. Ismail, Mr. Xavier, Ms. Margaret, Mr. Nathan, Mr. Sam, and Mr. Sekatawa. Your hard work and dedication have shaped a successful and impactful year. Attached are samples of student work that highlight the creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking nurtured across all subjects.

Play to learn Maths
June marks the end of many things in the academic year – the end of the school year, the end of examinations, and the completion of many Maths books. Yet, it also marks the beginning of new opportunities: talk of a revised syllabus for the upcoming academic year, and renewed promises to tackle and simplify Maths problems with greater confidence.
We wrapped up the term by reviewing end-of-year exam questions, exploring potential research topics for Internal Assessments, and bringing out some long-forgotten Maths games to help us wind down—while still giving our brains the much-needed practice before the new year.
With games such as Jenga, Guess Who, Four in a Row, Monopoly, City of Zombies, Rummikub, and Rubik’s Cube, to mention just a few, we kept actively engaged in learning while having fun.
Here are a few reasons why we incorporate play in Maths lessons:
• Role play, such as setting up a shop, helps children understand real-world applications of Maths, like counting money and making change.
• Playing with patterns, shapes, and numbers builds a solid foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts.
• Maths games promote strategic thinking and problem-solving as students plan their moves and overcome challenges.
• Fun learning boosts motivation and engagement, often leading to deeper understanding and better outcomes.
So, if you're wondering how to keep your Maths skills sharp this summer holiday, pick up a Maths game and enjoy learning without even realising it!

June was a dynamic month for FoodTech as we proudly hosted the end of year’s FoodTech Exhibition. The event brought together innovations,creativity, and charity minds.
Our students unveiled several cooking techniques aimed at improving hands-on learning efficiency in cookery,and an understanding of theory in practice. The response from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with valuable feedback and exciting partnership with parents to continue building skills for our learners.
Beyond the booth, we engaged in smart packaging, reinforcing our commitment to driving responsible innovation, and building and showing love to our community members in need.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who visited us and helped make this event a success. Together we raised 3.1m and we handed it over to Mr. Olinga.
