    Nice performance, especially my former school, Bwera ss. However am worried of the decline in busongora traditional schools like kilembe ss, rwenzori high, kasese ss and kasese high, bukonzo schools are dominating and (especially Bwera ss followed by karambi ss) becoming regional giants. Good signs from that sch near the aerodrome, it may soon join Bwera schools.
