This Saturday 21^st February, early in the morning, the Rector of Don Bosco CALM launched the preparatory tests for all primary students at our home. These tests have been selected according to their curriculum in order to help them revise their courses. The policies used to examine our candidates are the same as that of the Uganda National Examination Board. (UNEB).This new strategy of testing our children has been unanimously approved and implemented by all members of Don Bosco CALM. The Don Bosco CALM members put their heads together, formulated relevant questions, and mark the tests in order to equip efficaciously our children with consistent knowledge. This will enhance the academic performance of our children and prepare them to face fearlessly their respective tests or exams which are coming very soon. Thus, from today, every Saturday morning and afternoon will be an occasion for each boy of Don Bosco CALM to celebrate knowledge through diverse preparatory tests.

The day began with early preparations from the boys who woke up early morning at 5:00AM to clean and make sure that the day is celebrated in the most colorful manner. This was followed by welcoming of visitors from far as well as the neighboring Christians who came to celebrate with us the Feast of our Teacher, Founder, Father and Friend of the Youth.
