•To emphasise morality in all aspects of the young peoples lives.
•To come up with a community of young people responsive of their needs and demands.
•To encourage young people to act as change makers in their communities and beyond through charity work.
•To host and attend activities in the school and surrounding community so the knowledge gained can be shared.

The Hilton High Health Club has begun a new term. Last term was very successful and included activities such as: A Clean Up Day, where the club cleaned the area in Bukasa that is used for the weekly market day, and a debate which was hosted in April. The two questions posed were:

• Should education on condoms be removed from the ABC method?
• Does sex education cause more problems than it solves?

The debate was followed with a short presentation by the Kyetume Youth Group.

So far plans for this term include: leading the chapel at school with a skit and song presentation about personal hygiene and an outing to the Kyetume Health Centre.
