Wildlife & Environment

Formally known as Nature club, Wildlife club was launched on 08th March 2017 in the school field known as Ann Cutler field  and the internal function was attended by a great number of Gayaza girls. The launch was  a success and it went on  with a variety of food sales, music as well as wildlife based games and quizzes. This was all  handled by the previous club committee. As the new  Wildlife Club committee (2017-2018), we came up with the following:

Vision

Every beginning of the term, the club committee has a meeting to discuss the plan of the term. We decide on an activity that the club can do to help the community, a wildlife based activity, fun activity, a sale, awareness activity as well as tithe offered to the school chapel.

Activities.
This term, the second term of 2017, we had the Patron of all wildlife clubs of Uganda come speak to us on the 15th of July which was also the school club handover commonly known as bonanza. We also had a representative from Uganda Wildlife Authority to speak to us at the  assembly and launch the giraffe on Friday, 14th of July, 2017. The launching of the giraffe gave us a chance to plan for wildlife trips and plans for the near future as we spoke to a representative from the  Uganda Wildlife Authority as a committee. In relation to awareness also, we pinned up animal facts in the school  library. Sometimes, we pin up newspaper articles about wildlife that  we find in the newspapers to also raise awareness . For a treasury building activity, we had a pizza sale which went on successfully on 21st June, 2017  and we made very high profits. For a fun and awareness activity, we shall be visiting the zoo this weekend on 28th July, 2017. We also had a community helping activity on the 12th of July, we moved around and picked the litter and burnt it in the Gayaza community up to the trading center as our club day activity.
