Together We Can Create a Wonderful Environment for Teso College: A Call to Action by Mr. Julius Opasso

Good students practice and nurture good morals at school. This can be demonstrated in the various activities a student pursues, as well as his or her behaviour at school. Obeying school rules means a lot at school and for the future of a student. A good member of a community is a person who was a good student at school.
Students should avoid riotous behaviour because it leads to damage of school property, harms life and wastes time. Usually the property that is damaged during a strike is paid for by the parents. In the end, your family will also suffer the consequences of your actions.
Students who respect their teachers and leaders find it easy to obey society leaders after school. Teachers who are respected by their students take care of them and teach them well. Referring to teachers disrespectfully by humorous names is disruptive to the smooth running of class and should be avoided.
Above all, students should strive for excellence in academic performance. Of course, excellence in academic performance comes as a result of students loving their studies, concentrating on books, respecting teachers’ guidance and having a desire to make their families and communities proud of them. Students should be able to sacrifice some leisure and forego unproductive pastimes in favour of their studies when necessary.
The teachers’ code of conduct emphasizes discipline among the staff. As a teacher, you must set a good example, and avoid things like coming late for your lessons and dressing irresponsibly. A teacher should lead a moral life and practice what he or she teaches, because morals are best demonstrated through actions. A teacher’s behaviour either destroys or develops moral values among his or her students.
The family is a very important agent in the development of moral values and discipline in a growing child. Parents should therefore endeavour to provide basic needs and parental guidance to their children. Excessive indulgence of a child spoils the child and makes him or her irresponsible to the family and community. It is common knowledge that, “What a child speaks or does is what is spoken or practiced at their home.”
I send my regards to the administration and staff of Teso College Aloet for their wonderful work in the school and community.
