SCHOOL CORE VALUES

Truthfulness

Truthfulness is about being honest, transparent, and accurate in all your actions, words, and interactions. It involves telling the truth, even when it's difficult, and avoiding deception or exaggeration. This core value builds trust and ensures strong, genuine relationships, both personally and professionally.

Decency

Decency refers to behaving with respect, fairness, and integrity toward others. It's about maintaining a sense of propriety, kindness, and empathy in your actions and decisions. Decent behaviour means treating people with dignity, regardless of their background or situation, and being considerate of others' feelings and well-being.

Hard Work

Hard work emphasizes the importance of dedication, effort, and perseverance. It's the willingness to give your best and put in the time and energy required to achieve goals, improve skills, and contribute to a greater cause. Hard work isn't just about physical effort it's also about mental focus, problem-solving, and consistently striving for excellence.

Being Socially Responsible

Social responsibility is the idea that individuals, organizations, and businesses have an obligation to act in ways that benefit society as a whole. This involves taking care of the environment, promoting fairness, supporting social causes, and engaging in ethical practices that contribute positively to the community. Socially responsible behaviour reflects awareness of how your actions impact the greater world and the willingness to make choices that contribute to social well-being.

Entebbe Secondary School is one of the leading institutions of learning in Uganda. The core mission of the school is to provide quality education, holistic development, and mentorship, as outlined in its vision: "A center of academic and moral excellence." The contributions of various school departments and units, such as the Headmaster's Office, Academic Registrar, Directorate of Human Resources, Finance Department, the Dean of Students' Office, IT Department, and all subject departments, have played a pivotal role in the school's progress. Their participation and commitment have enhanced the school's policy of a collaborative, bottom-up approach to development.

Special thanks go to the Ministry of Education and Sports for its continuous support to the school. We also extend our appreciation to the staff of the Planning and Development Unit and to all stakeholders who contributed significantly in the data collection, spearheading, and coordinating the process that led to the compilation and production of this School.

I urge all stakeholders of Entebbe Secondary School to make efficient and effective use of the information in this Fact Book to make informed decisions that will contribute to the continued growth and development of the school.
