Student Probation.

Academic probation is a programme geared towards getting our weak students to work at an acceptable pace, through a close supervision of their studies, monitoring of their study habits and teaching them study skills. A student is placed on academic probation when he or she scores below our least acceptable grade of 65% in any of our continuous assessment tests or exams. Academic probation is also recommended for students that have been absent from regular class instructions for any reason.

The student on academic probation does not take part in the following extra-curricular activities: clubs, choir, altar servers, athletic teams, weekend videos, and visiting with a friend’s family on visiting days. The student on academic probation will spend those extra-curricular activities period in study hall under close supervision that ensures progress in those subjects and areas where the student has difficulties or performs poorly. The head of the counselling department and class teachers closely supervise students on academic probation and every two weeks these officers give the Principal a brief report on the academic progress of the students.

 Subject teachers may also be asked to write a report on a student on academic probation. A student on academic probation will remain in this status until the next academic assessment after the grades for that assessment are published. The student will go out of academic probation when there is an adequate improvement in grades, serious improvement in studies is displayed, and an increase in earnest academic purpose is noted. Mt. St. Henry’s High School Mukono does not want students to be on academic probation, and therefore calls on other students to assist those on academic probation to come off probation as soon as possible. Academic improvement is our goal for all students, and we hope that this negative motivation will help those on probation.

Irrespective of race, creed, and gender, education makes it possible for people to stand out as equal with all the other persons from different walks of life.

Youth drug usage in Uganda is a developing problem that needs immediate response. Drug abuse and addiction have serious repercussions for both individuals and society at large. Schools have a crucial role in tackling this issue and can considerably help in the fight against drug usage as narcotics continue to permeate communities.

Ugandan schools must implement a holistic strategy that emphasizes prevention, education, and support if they are to successfully tackle drug misuse. Here are some tactics that schools might employ to combat drug misuse among young people in Uganda.

Education and Awareness Programs: Comprehensive drug education programs that accurately convey the risks of drug abuse should be given top priority in schools. Age-appropriate material that emphasizes both the immediate and long-term effects of drug use should be included in these programs. To include students and encourage conversations on the subject, you can arrange for guest speakers, workshops, and interactive sessions.

Early Intervention and Screening: To identify students who may use drugs, schools can implement early intervention programs. The detection of warning indicators, such as adjustments in behavior, academic performance, or social interactions, might be aided by routine screens and assessments. Students who exhibit indicators of drug abuse or vulnerability should get counseling and support from teachers and trained counselors.
