“Mustard Seed School Busota lays emphasis not just on students’ academic progress but also on co-curricular needs as well. Sports and games are considered an avenue for students physical growth, confidence and provides very good publicity for the school when teams do well in local competitions.
Boys recovering after regional semi-final
Coca-cola cup won in 2016
Last year the boys’ football team took the Kamuli District coca-cola post primary trophy. They were one of the two teams chosen to represented Kamuli District in the regional football finals, where they reached the quarter finals. This year the boys football team defended their trophy in the annual coca cola post primary football competitions in kamuli district. They reached the semi finals. Unfortunately, there was unprecedented violence between children of two schools competing in the other semi-final so the final was called off. However, we have been chosen with another school to represent Kamuli District in the coming regional tournament on 13th April 2017 at Bukoyo High School in Iganga district.
The girls football team also participated in the district competitions, where they reached the quarter finals. The school is now regarded as being among the top schools in the district, due to growing excellence in both academic and
games and sports activities.
