Bro Wanambwa became teacher by divine calling

“My mother was a primary school teacher, and as a young boy in Primary Five, I used to help her with marking exercise books. She would provide me with a marking guide, and I would do the marking for her sometimes,” recalls Rev Bro Martin Wanambwa, underscoring that his journey to becoming a teacher was no accident.

Bro Wanambwa, 53, is the new head teacher of St Henry’s College, Kitovu in Masaka, succeeding Bro Augustine Mugabo, who retired early in January after 11 years of service.

Having served as Bro Mugabo’s deputy in administration for four years, Bro Wanambwa is determined to lead St Henry’s College, commonly known as SHACK, to even “greater horizons” in line with the school’s motto.

Visitors to St Henry’s College today often find the experience pleasantly surprising. While the old buildings and trees, some nearly a century old, remain strong, many new developments have taken place.
