ACADEMICS The Uganda Allied Health Examinations Board (UAHEB) exams for year one semester one, Year One semester two, Year two semesters two and Year three semester one 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 started on Monday 5th June 2023 and ended on Tuesday 20th June 2022. I thank the Director, Staff, Guild Council and students towards achieving school objectives. DISCIPLINE We have maintained discipline as cardinal requirement at the school and we encourage Parents to counsel your sons and daughters to always be disciplined. Try to understand your children. ATTENDANCE Attendance to lectures, practical’s and clinical placements is critical in training. Students without satisfactory attendance are not registered for UAHEB Examinations. Ensure your Sons/daughter doesn’t miss attending especially as the semester starts. Parents are advised to encourage their children report early for classes to avoid disorganizing school academic programs. BURSARY A bursary offer is to provide opportunity to a student to achieve his/her dream in life. It must be sustained by normal academic progress and exemplary discipline. This is a reminder that getting a retake or involvement into an act of indiscipline automatically disqualifies a student from a bursary schemes. RETAKES: Students on probational progress due to retakes are expected to attend all lectures, do course works and assessments in the course units to retake. The school management will not allow retakers who do not attend lectures to sit examinations. Secondly, a student with a retake will pick a form, fill it and return it to the Registrar in the first week of the semester when the retake is to be sat and failure to fill this form will mean no retake. HOSPITAL PLACEMENT All our students went for clinical placement for attachments in Hospitals lasting for 4 weeks in Masaka Regional referral Hospital, Mubende referral Hospital, Gombe Hospital, Mpigi Health Centre IV, Mityana hospital, Kasangati Health Centre IV, Wakiso Health Centre IV and Namayumba Health centre IV. Gratitude goes to Heads and staff of these Centre’s for their support and guidance they provided to our students during this exercise. GRADUATION We intend to organize a graduation ceremony as soon as results are released by UAHEB. Students will pick a graduation form from school and will be required to clear from all departments before Graduation to ensure that they are not owed by any school material including requirements and Tuition. The graduation date will be communicated. NEXT SEMESTER ACADEMIC YEAR 2022-2023 BEGINS ON 17TH JULY 2023. Thank you for your continued support. Yours in service, Mayanja M Magala (Principal)
