What's Happening at Giulio Pastore

Under the guidance of His Grace, Archbishop Raphael P'Mony Wokorach, whose vision is that all Catholic schools evangelise through education, Giulio Pastore Pre-Primary and Primary School continues to place Christ at the centre of all learning and formation — inspired by our core values of Love, Faith and Passion.

This term, our school put these values into action by reaching out to a 70-year-old woman in Gangdyang Cell, Pandwong Division, who has long suffered after being bewitched, leaving her leg paralysed and her life dependent solely on God's providence. With no children, husband, or stable shelter apart from an old tarpaulin house offered by a Good Samaritan, she lives in deep vulnerability.

On 20th November 2025, our pupils and staff visited her — cleaning her compound, washing her clothes, and donating food and clothing. This was an act of Christian love, lived faith and passionate service that revealed Christ's presence in this work of mercy.

This scripture reminded our learners that they encounter Christ Himself in the suffering and the neglected. It also reflects the call of Galatians 5:13 — "Serve one another humbly in love" — and 1 John 3:18 — "Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."

Through this experience, the pupils grew in compassion, gratitude, responsibility, community spirit and deeper Catholic identity — living our mission of evangelising through education with love in their hearts, faith in their actions and passion in their service.

On 11th July 2025, Giulio Pastore Pre-Primary and Primary School officially launched its first-ever Monthly Charity Outreach Programme, under the inspiring theme:

Led by their teachers and school staff, the pupils visited vulnerable members of the Kitgum Municipality community. With joyful hearts and open hands, they donated food, clothes, soap and other essential items to the elderly, sick children and struggling families.

Beyond material gifts, the pupils also offered prayers, smiles and encouraging words — proving that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference.

As part of the programme, each class will take turns leading the monthly outreach — giving every child the opportunity to participate and grow in compassion throughout the year.

This beautiful initiative marks a new chapter in the school's mission to nurture not only bright minds but also caring hearts. Giulio Pastore School is planting seeds of empathy, kindness and faith — one visit at a time.

Giulio Pastore Pre-Primary and Primary School is proud to announce that our debate team has emerged CHAMPIONS of the 2025 Kitgum Municipality Northern Uganda Debate Council Competition — a historic milestone that reflects months of dedication, hard work and intellectual courage from our young debaters.

The competition brought together schools from across Kitgum Municipality, each fielding their best debaters to contest on challenging motions. Our team prepared rigorously under the guidance of their teachers, learning to think critically, argue persuasively and listen respectfully — skills that will serve them far beyond the debate stage.

This victory is not just about a trophy. It is proof that when children are given the right environment, the right encouragement and the right values, they can achieve extraordinary things. Debate teaches our pupils to research, to reason, to respect opposing views — and ultimately, to become confident voices in their community.

The school administration looks forward to building on this success and continuing to invest in debate, MDD, sports and all co-curricular activities that develop the whole child — mind, body and spirit.

Playing outdoor sports with your child is one of the most rewarding things you can do as a parent or guardian during the school holiday. It enhances their physical health, boosts creativity and builds social skills — all while creating memories that last a lifetime.

Here are some fun, affordable outdoor games suitable for children of all ages in our community:

At Giulio Pastore, we believe that physical activity is not separate from education — it is a vital part of it. The discipline, teamwork and resilience children learn through sport carry directly into their academic and spiritual lives.

We encourage all parents and guardians to use this holiday to be active alongside your children. You don't need expensive equipment — an open space, a ball and a willing heart are all you need.
