Discovering our identity in French
DP students have been discussing the topic of 'identities' with Miss Doriane in French. Allegra Ogbemudia wrote a thought provoking poem about belonging to two different nationalities, which is something that many in the international community can relate to!

It’s that time of year again!
Our students are once again preparing to pour out their imagination through poetry.
This year, our themes are strategically designed to help students explore the deep connection between poetry and rhythm - how words can move, flow, and carry emotion through sound and structure.
Each Key Stage will take on a theme that invites creativity:
Key Stage 3: Roots & Rhythm
Key Stage 4: Voices of Change
IB Diploma Programme: Borders & Belonging
With the guidance and encouragement of their teachers, we look forward to seeing our students deliver powerful, thought-provoking performances that celebrate the rhythm of words and the beat of poetry

North American University Career Fair at KISU
On Thursday 2nd October 2025, we hosted the North American University Career Fair in the Main Auditorium. The event brought together enthusiastic representatives from top universities across the United States and Canada, offering students a unique opportunity to explore international study and career pathways.
The fair welcomed students from Year 10 to DP2, who engaged in lively discussions about university programmes, scholarship opportunities, entry requirements, and future career prospects.
Among the institutions represented were:
University of Guelph, Huron University, Queen’s University, Carleton University, York University, Calvin University, Iowa State University, Arizona State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), and EDPrograms.
Students took full advantage of the opportunity to ask insightful questions, gain clarity about study abroad options, and learn how to align their academic interests with future university pathways. The fair was a resounding success, reflecting KISU’s ongoing commitment to preparing students for global opportunities and informed career choices.
On Wednesday, 1st October, the DP2 students presented their Theory of Knowledge (TOK) Exhibition, a key component of the IB Diploma Program. This annual event offered an rousing display of intellectual curiosity and creativity as students explored how knowledge is generated and understood in the real world.
Each student selected three objects that represented their unique perspectives on knowledge questions, using them to illustrate how TOK concepts connect to everyday life. Through these exhibits, students demonstrated their ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and reflect deeply on how knowledge shapes our understanding of the world. A variety of topics formed the basis of these presentations, most prominent being: - What role do experts play in influencing our consumption or acquisition of knowledge?; Who owns knowledge?; What counts as good evidence for a claim?; Can new knowledge change established values and beliefs?; In what ways do our values affect our acquisition of knowledge?
The exhibition not only served as an assessment component of the TOK course but also as a celebration of the students’ academic growth and engagement with complex ideas. Parents, teachers, and peers were impressed by the depth of thought and individuality reflected in each presentation.
The TOK Exhibition remains one of the highlights of the DP journey-an opportunity for students to transform abstract theory into meaningful, personal insights about knowledge itself.

DP1 Students Take CAS Learning Beyond the Classroom
As part of the IB Diploma Programme, DP1 students are required to complete a CAS project, which stands for Creativity, Activity, and Service. The upcoming Outdoor Education trip to Jinja presents an excellent opportunity for our students to fulfil this requirement while making a meaningful contribution to the wider community.
This year, students will be staying at 30 Wilson, from where they will set out to engage with local communities through a series of hands-on activities designed to promote sustainability, creativity, and compassion.
Greening Communities, One Tree at a Time.
The trip will begin with an environmental sustainability project at Wakitaka and Mafubira Health Centre II, where students will plant a variety of saplings — including fruit and shade trees. This activity not only contributes to the environment but also supports the health centres’ efforts to create greener, more welcoming spaces.
Inspiring Change at Highland Primary School
The main highlight of the trip will be a visit to Highland Primary School, Kibibi, where students will engage in activities that foster collaboration, service, and creativity. They will:
1. Paint and brighten up a classroom block
2. Lead an interactive presentation on menstrual hygiene for female learners
3. Design and create learning aids, such as visual posters for subjects including Mathematics and English
These initiatives are designed to develop empathy, leadership, and teamwork — key attributes of the IB learner profile.
From Fundraising to Fieldwork
This meaningful project is the result of months of tireless planning and creative fundraising. From long weekends spent baking and selling treats, to car washes, movie nights, and Halloween poster sales, our students have shown remarkable dedication and initiative in raising funds to bring their ideas to life.
A Message of Gratitude
To the KISU community, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your support and participation in these efforts. Your encouragement and contributions have made this project possible.
As we set off for Jinja, we do so with excitement, gratitude, and a shared purpose — to make a lasting impact in the community while growing as compassionate global citizens.
Thank you for helping us turn our CAS goals into meaningful action.
Mr. Jube Kakuba
