Alumni

The old students of the school started an association called Kisoro Vision Old students Association (KIVOSA) in 2006.  It was spear headed by Mutsinzi Kali and Iragaba Emmanuel of the pioneer A’level class.

When this association was formed it continued to operate in Kampala only and mainly among the old students who were in Makerere University. However in 2008, the association broadened its membership and area of operation to include all the old students who were still in institutions and those that had completed whether they had got jobs or not.

For a long time, the association operated without linking with the current students at the premises of Kisoro Vision. They eventually organized one in 2013. The heartfelt appreciation specifically go to Mr Iragaba Emmanuel and Hakiza Ronald who tirelessly worked towards the holding such a meeting of this association that was officially launched by the DEO Kisoro Mr. Munyarubanza Francis.

Therefore, the first ever general meeting was held in Kisoro at Kisoro vision S.S. on 20 July 2013 and they elected the following office bearers.

This Old students’ association has already picked one student who is so needy and interested in studies and is not academically frustrating. The association will pay for him fees effective second term, May 2014 right from senior one to senior six. They promise to be doing that each year as long as the most needy student is identified.

The Association has formed a SACCO and buying of shares to those who qualify is still open. Therefore they also give loans to members at an affordable interest rate.

Support to the school is give. The association planted 20 trees in the school compound and in the new foot ball pitch which is under construction. They also bought two balls to support school football team in March 2014 when the school was going to represent Kisoro District in the regional secondary schools’ football competitions.

Association members mobilize past papers, marking guides and some books which they send to the school for use by the current students. Besides this, they also visit the school for guidance and counseling of the current students and also assisting them in various fields of academia.
