Speaking after Saturday’s victory, Mr Bright Beyongyera, a trainer and a teacher at Parental Care revealed how they took a team of 22 pupils to compete with over 10 schools in poetry, debate, and public speaking.

He added; “It’s a moment of pomp and glamour for us as Parental Care. Year in and Year out our performance has been on top notch. I want to assure our dear parents that their children are in safe hands and they should bring more students because we do what we know best to make our learners capable leaders of tomorrow and unique citizens,”
