OUR SCHOOL
The school Head Master’s office is next to the laboratory which students
use to conduct different experiments in biology, chemistry and physics. At 2
pm, students go to the assembly hall for daily announcements on routines and
activities. The dining hall is between the school lab and the dormitory;
students eat their meals in the dinning hall. There are many fruit vendors near
the dining hall selling apples, pineapples, oranges, and bananas. After their
meal at 5 pm, students go to their dormitories to shower and clean up. There
are several bathrooms and laundry rooms where the students take baths and wash
their clothes. After their evening meals, students normally go to the
classrooms for personal study.

name is Mrs. Grace Livoga. I am fifteen years old. I am black in colour and
tall, thin in size. My first day at secondary
school was exciting. I was very excited. When I arrived at school saw some of
my friends who come to me and helped me with my luggage to the Head Mistress
office for checkup. I waved by to my parents and they gave me a hug.
When I went to the office they checked my luggage and they showed me the
way to the dormitory. I went to the dormitory hurriedly and keep my luggage.
Then I took bath and I went to class. When I reached to the class I
made my friends and they gave me a lot of loving company. After a half an hour
the bell rang and everybody followed the bell. All the teachers come in front
of us and started introducing themselves and lastly the Head Mistress
introduced herself. Her name is Sis. Magreth.
