First of all, please allow me to extend my heartiest congratulations to all the divers who have been selected to represent WAJA at the upcoming 2023 Junior National Swimming Games.
Swimming is considered one of the most popular recreational activities for children between the ages of 7 and 17. Swimming is a good way to reduce stress and can burn 650 calories in just a hour. Swimming is considered one of the fourth highest desired exercise methods.
Our victory at the Junior National Swimming Games will not be computed by the number of gold, silver or bronze medals or the records that we break. I believe that our victory will be defined by us as one team coming forward, rallying together, fighting our level best, to have the best turnout possible at the arenas, in the stadiums and all the venues. Regardless of the outcome, the victory will be defined when we see ourselves as one team.
Keep going WAJA.
"We are overwhelmed by the outcome of the tournament," NALUYANGE CATHERINE said. "These students put in the time and effort to become champions. I could not be prouder of them. I am especially happy for NANTUME ANNA. For the last four years, she put in countless hours of research and training to make them champions."
To provide context, WAJA finished last year ranked in the top 10 in the nation. Eastern Uganda has five of the top 10-ranked competitors in the country in their respective speech events. Despite those stats, WAJA came out victoriously.
This is just the beginning as the team keeps moving ahead, especially under the leadership of speech and debate coach NANTUME ANNA and the impact of new assistant coach NABIBUGA ALLEN.
With another year drawing to a close, it is time to celebrate and reflect on what our Netball Family has achieved in early 2023.
As a school we are delighted and proud that our young sportswomen are taking part in many local and regional tournaments across the nation. Our school Netball team is also adding value to this journey of national participation in sport by attending these prestigious tournaments regionally. It should stand as an inspiration to all national sports groups and sports people to emulate their example.
We trust and hope that you will enjoy a wonderful time in the upcoming tournaments and enjoy the world-renowned hospitality, and that you will have sufficient time to enjoy the many splendid attractions when you bring us the trophy.
