Message From the Head Prefect: Patrick Owona Komakech, 6 Arts 2013
Focus and self-confidence are vital in becoming a Head Prefect in Teso College; I went through thick and thin in order to become an HP.
In Teso College Aloet we dare to be wise and set new standards. We know that yesterday wasn’t like today; today will never be like yesterday or tomorrow. To my dear students in this Great School, wake up and accept the challenges of a new day and achieve a better tomorrow. Remember, there is no stupid student on planet Earth. The one believed to be stupid is only lazy. I am happy we’ve no lazy gentlemen in TCA. I say all this for “Aijaanakin ka Arimarit.”
