TODAY'S THEME: DRESS LIKE YOUR ELDER
12 JUNE 2026

What a wonderful and exciting day it was! Our students stepped into the shoes of the elders they admire at home and in the community. From their outfits to their confidence, they truly embraced the theme.

Some looked so mature and distinguished that you could easily mistake them for community leaders, teachers, pastors, or respected grandparents! Their creativity, attention to detail, and appreciation for the older generation were clearly on display.

This activity reminded us of the important role elders play in shaping our values, character, and future. Well done to all our students for making the day both meaningful and memorable!

EMPOWERING TOMORROW'S LEADERS: BOYS & GIRLS TALK

04 June 2026

This afternoon, learners participated in a successful and impactful Boys & Girls Talk session aimed at empowering young people with knowledge, confidence, and guidance to help them navigate the challenges of today's world. The event created a platform for meaningful discussions, learning, and personal growth, encouraging learners to make informed decisions and become responsible members of society.

The session brought together various stakeholders who shared valuable insights and experiences, inspiring learners to pursue positive lifestyles and make choices that will contribute to their future success. The interactive nature of the discussions allowed students to engage openly, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of issues affecting young people.

This important initiative was organized by the Guidance & Counselling Team, whose commitment to the welfare and development of learners continues to make a positive impact within the school community.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all stakeholders, facilitators, teachers, and learners who participated and contributed to the success of the event. Together, we continue to invest in the future by nurturing informed, responsible, and empowered young leaders.

Empowered youth today, stronger communities tomorrow.

REMINDER:

TOMORROW IS DAY 4. KINDLY BE PREPARED AND OBSERVE PUNCTUALITY.

WHEN VISION MEETS EXCELLENCE

Leadership is not a position, it is influence in action.

Mrs Chipendo, Director of Chobe Regional Operations, and Mr Nfila, Head of Chobe Junior Secondary School, stand as pillars of excellence, driving a shared vision for quality education across the region.

Their leadership, foresight, and relentless pursuit of results continue to inspire confidence, strengthen institutions, and shape the future of our learners. Together, they represent the calibre of leadership that transforms challenges into opportunities and vision into achievement.

Chobe Region moves forward because leaders of this stature refuse to settle for anything less than excellence.
