A Message from the Deputy Headmistress Academics.
ASSERTIVENESS
Assertiveness is the ability to express or assert ones rights, to standup for one self , being straight forward and honest to express and articulate ones true feelings, beliefs, likes, dislikes, rights and values openly. However as one does so, they need to bear in mind other peoples beliefs, likes, dislikes and rights. So as individuals assert themselves they should do so in mutually respectful way.
Children need to learn how to be assertive in all situations but the way they are assertive with their peer may differ from assertiveness with parents, school teachers and community members
Children should be taught to master this skill in the era of HIV/AIDS to protect themselves from dangerous situations such as drug and substances as well as negative peer pleasure.
Assertiveness can cover a wide variety of situations for example a boy or a girl refusing to be lured into an unhealthy behaviors practices by peers.
Learning to say No to other situations e.g. playing instead of reading, refusing to be part of game when one doesn’t feel like or be part of a gang that runs out of school without permission or beats up a fellow learner.
Therefore, always guide learners in all ways so as to learn to open up, perform well and help each other.
Never give up. “Banno “

The amazing story behind the gomesi: Born and evolved at Gayaza High School
The story of the gomesi dates back to 1905 at the birth of Gayaza school. The headmistress of Gayaza Junior School, Miss Alfreda Allen asked Mr. A.G.Gomesi to design a uniform for her girls.
The Gomesi was fashioned and developed between 1905 and 1915 by an indian of Goan descent called GOMESI after whom the Gomesi takes its name.
The first school uniform of Gayaza girls was “suuka” made up of back cloth. It was tied under the armpits leaving the shoulders bare. Miss Allen asked A.G Gomesi to make a “suuka” of cotton as it would be more durable. The “suuka” unraveled during manual work, so A.G Gomesi added a Yoke, this was the part fitting around the shoulders and from which the rest of the dress hanged. That was the prototype Gomesi . A.G Gomesi added a sash around the waist. It was longer, wider and stiffer.
He went on in 1914, which is considered as the birth- year of modern gomesi, to incorporate aspects of Victorian/Edwardian dresses. These include puffed sleeves with a square neckline and the Sari from gomesi homeland Goa. At Gayaza high school the development of the Busuuti or gomesi now regarded by the many as the natural dress was accomplished. “Bussuti” comes from suit.
Gomesi as also called “Bodingi” that name also harks back to gayaza as the first girls boarding school.
Today the gomesi is the Kiganda traditional dress for women and it’s also worn by other ethnicities in Uganda. It’s the most commonly use costume for women in Buganda and Busonga.
The gomesi can be worn for any occasions and in rural areas it’s the form of the daily dress
Residents of cities and urban areas tend to wear it on special occasions such as funerals and weddings.
The gomesi is worn at wedding ceremonies during the introduction also known as the “Kwagula”. During the”Kwagula” all female members of the groom ‘s family are required to appear dressed in gomesi. Gayaza School owns the “Bussuti” or gomesi. It was born and made the great garment of the Ugandan women at Gayaza.

Message from DIRECTOR OF STUDIES
Dear leaders it gives me fervent pleasure to share with you once again. I honor and glorify the Almighty God who has seen us through the academic year 2017. We cherish you our dear parents and other stake holders for entrusting us with the responsibility of developing the academic life of your daughters. As the academic year ends, most of our learners are to be promoted to the next levels. It therefore calls for collective effort to finding solutions to challenges children have been encountering as this will enable them maintain and improve further. Our learners have the potential to perform only that there are some setbacks that hinder their academic progress. Such weaknesses include poor listening skills, failure to interpret and comprehend questions, inability to recall and time wasting among others. This, hence, calls for collaborative effort between parents and teachers to iron out such issues. We have vested with the duty of nurturing children towards the right path for a better future. We are breaking up for holidays and sending children back home. We call for your support as regards guarding against challenged in and around our homes as these may impact negatively on children’s academic performance.
As a parent, try as much as possible to protect your children against all sorts of evil.
Be on the lookout for individuals or organizations that support to be entertaining or giving a hand yet they are disseminating deviant and subversive practices. The world today is not easy to describe but people are using all chances to divert the young towards undesirable behavior.
The holiday period should serve as precious time to be with your children personally and physically. As you share your children they will tell you their beliefs, feelings and interests. This calls for your guidance to enable them attain faithful desires and goals.
Children have special ability and talents. Remember life is the most difficult examination. Many people fail because they try to copy others forgetting that everyone has different question paper.
Check on security of your children in and around your home. Children are precious gifts from God hence they deserve protection against anything. That harms their physical and mental development.
Love your children are supposed to be shown great love when they do something right-but this love should be greater when they make mistakes because this is when they become truly human.
- Assign your children with a number of tasks that compel them to think. This will develop their intellectual skills and hence attain academic excellence.
- Assist our children develop life-long targets. Your children should have a vision for their future survival. A child with a vision will always have a specific target and this will give him or her courage to explore various aspects of life in order to achieve the best.
- Health is the key to academic excellence. Make sure to feed your children on the right foods that develop their brains. Guard your children against health hazards that are likely to cause infirmity and slow down their academic progress.
- Teach children to respect themselves and others. Remember we need each other. The person you take for granted today may turn to be the one you need tomorrow.
- If you are able, take your children to tours. These give them opportunity to expound and widen their scope of knowledge as they relate what they see to the classroom situation.
- A peaceful atmosphere at home will always create love and harmony among family members. The reward and complements you give your children will motivate and develop their mental abilities and in return all of you will reap with broad smiles.
- As we thank the Lord God who has imbued us with wisdom and strength to serve the world, let us join hands to shape the future generation.
NEVER GIVE UP
