Update From Headmaster

Third term has started well.  It is shaping up to be a busy term with the Grade Seven and Grade Nine ECZ Exams, interviewing new applicants for 2014, and preparing for an end-of-term Christmas programme.  We are thankful for progress being made on the student assembly hall, with a new, higher roof, and larger storage rooms.  We look forward to being able to be using it in the coming weeks.

Birthday Party will have the theme of Middle Ages.  Another of the upcoming highlights will be celebrating Independence Day, October 24th.  There will be lots of swimming races, ‘king-of-the-plank’ competition, and then a bamboo bonfire in the evening.

 

Annual PTA and General Meeting

Just a brief note of reminder that as a part of the end of term program this term, there will be a PTA and Annual General meeting. The General meeting is for all parents and provides and opportunity for them to hear updates on the school as well as ask any questions they may have.

 

CMML Visit

Below is a link to some details and pictures of CMML’s visit to Sakeji and the area. Tom Wilson, an alumni, was able to visit and see the school for the first time since the late 40’s.

Site Updates – Time for change

Yes, if you have visited the site in the last while you will know that it has not been updated in quite some time and is looking a little dated. Over the next couple of weeks we hope to get some new life and information on the site. We apologize that it has taken this long….. and look forward to the updates.

End Of Year Disc Problems

Our apologies, but it seems that the 2010 end of year discs that where made had a problem with them. The disc contain the image of the files ready to be burned to disc rather than the files on the disc itself. Those files can be used to burn a disc, or if you would rather bring your disc back at the beginning of term one, we will have a new one for you. Who knows there may even be a little bonus feature added in. Again we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

The Sakeji Canyon

The main road from Mwinilunga to Sakeji crosses four main rivers, with the
Sakeji river as the last one before the plain and then the Sakeji School
turn-off. Erosion of the road at the Sakeji river near its source due to
heavy rains has almost cut us off from the rest of Zambia. This picture was
taken of the road yesterday, with the wash-away now the main feature! Should
we call it the Sakeji Grand Canyon?

It is certainly not so “grand” to anyone wanting to travel this direction.
It is doubtful if small vehicles will be able to get through on this route.
Even the alternative road through Ikonga is impassable. Try flying!

Devotions in the Boys’ Dorm

One of the real privileges of Sakeji School is the morning and evening
reading of the Scriptures. We feel it is such a privilege and a real
responsibility to have a room full of boys listening to God’s Word. It is
even more of a privilege for boys to have the opportunity to be taught daily
the sacred text in the dorm and classroom. In the dorm after the reading,
all the boys must answer a question correctly. We do want the Word to enter
deeply into their heart, and to lead them to the Saviour.
