On Saturday last week, we joined Rays of Hope Hospice Jinja and the wider Jinja City community for the Nile Cancer Run 2026, a shared commitment to cancer awareness, prevention, early detection, and treatment. Under the theme “Cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment,” we came together to champion a cause that calls for awareness, compassion, and collective responsibility. Together, we made a difference. #ChooseHorizon | #TheNileCancerRun26

Our boarding boys recently enjoyed a weekend cycling adventure through the surrounding community, taking time to explore their environment, build friendships, and enjoy the quality time of being outdoors together. These unique experiences are a reminder that boarding life at our school is about more than living together; it’s about growing together, exploring together, and making memories along the way. #ChooseHorizon – at Jinja, Uganda

What a way to dive into their new theme, “My Home and Family!" 😎 Our Early Years learners marked Elderly Day as the entry point to the theme, starting with the subtopic “Family Members.” Dressed as elderly people, they welcomed grandparents and other family members to school to share stories, play games and spend time together. It was a memorable way to bring their learning about family to life. #ChooseHorizon | #CambridgeEarlyYears
