Onayena Junior Secondary School goes global
At a ceremony held on Friday, 25th June 2010, Onayena Junior Secondary School, situated about 30km west of Ondangwa in Oshikoto Region, was renamed after a retired School Inpector Mr. Joseph Simaneka Asino, at an occasion that was attended by hundreds of parents, invited guests, learners and former learners alike. At the same occasion, the School Principal Mr. Reinhold Angula officially announced that Mr. Joshua Amukugo and Mr. Ben Kathindi have been mutually conferred the honorary positions of becoming the School Patrons, with the Computer Laboratory at the same school to be named after Mr. Joshua Amukugo as well.
In his keynote address, Mr Penda Ndakolo, Governor of Oshikoto Region, made it categorically clear that Mr Joseph Asino is one of the few individuals who have distinguished himself by rendering noble deeds to the education fraternity, both as a teacher, a Headmaster and later on as an Inspector of Education. He expressed a need for collective and active involvement in school matters by both the teachers, learners, parents and the school management if new thinking is to be injected into the blood-line of the school. He thus urged them all to constantly keep in touch with the latest developments on all education aspects and involve themselves in research projects at the school and other schools in the region in general so as to find solutions to a number of challenges facing our nation. Only such an approach can secure our schools a 100% pass rate, he advised.
In his acceptance speech, Mr Joshua Amukugo emphasised the importance of IT in the life of every one of us, young and old, teachers and learners, and how disastrously one can lag behind if not exposed to the IT type of technology. He therefore donated to the school, a School Web site, an overhead Projector, and a board. He further urged the School Management to ensure that a Computer Centre is constructed at the School where learners could be prepared for entrance into the Information Technology business through acquisition of basics on IT principles, processes and operations. Mr Amukugo further donated N$10 000.00 in cash, that would serve as a cornerstone to the anticipated Centre. Mr. Kathindi in his turn, through BK Architects, donated N$5 000.00 in cash, and further offered to carry out the site surveying, planning, design and drafting of a Master Plan for the School.
As a token of appreciation and desire for the school to get off the ground, parents, teachers, former learners at the school, invited guests and friends of the school donated various types of school items and materials badly needed at the school. Amongst them was Mr. Abisai Nendongo, in his capacity as a school alumnus who, through Inter Africa Security, donated N$10 000.00 in cash, a cow worth N$6 000.00, school materials worth N$7 000.00 and another N$10 000.00 he vowed to donate on the day the anticipated Computer Centre shall be inaugurated.
It is therefore important to note that as from now on, the above school is connected to the rest of the world and has become part and parcel of the global village.
