Gulu SS

Welcome to Gulu Senior School or Gulu SS as it is called. The school is one of the oldest in Gulu and it is also one of the biggest public schools. It is amazing to see the diffrent kinds of schools around the world.

Even though it is diffrent you know that people are learning. So abve you can see a part of the school that is pretty. Not bad, but because of the number of students has increased so fast they have not had the funds or the ability to build all of the classrooms like this. The one where I have been doing my teaching is this one.....

BUT, I love it! I know that I am papered with technology in the states but this is making me work hard and really enjoy it alot!

Here is the library... right now they cannot use it so there is no place for the students to research or look up information at the school. It is hard to see that they have a resource but are unable to use it.

In my first week at Gulu SS I was able to see the elections of the Prefects for the school. Those are like the student government officers of Gulu SS. The elections were interesting to watch. The students would go to the classes and campain for their postions. It was just like the US in many ways. Some students tried to be goofy and funny and others more serious.

I overheard some girls saying to one candidate "no candies, no vote" it made me laugh. Kids are the same the whole world over.

The students then were put infront of the teachers and the student body and had to speak about what they planned to do for Gulu SS.

It was fun to see but when you have almost 2,000 students it takes a long time!
