On the left is Mr. Henry Sentoogo the Patron of Cherubim Choir in the next photo
For a visitor to the school on a Sunday morning, there is one club that will never go unnoticed: the Cherubim Choir. Thanks to Mr. Henry Sentoogo the Patron.
They are a group of young Samarians who range from Form one to Form six who have taken it upon themselves to lead the others in hymns of praise. One may wonder whether these are students or some hired Choir. Analyzing it right from the conductor to the splendid harmony produced by the mixing of different voices, no one can believe they are called Cherubim’s!
Singing hymns like Handel’s Hallelujah chorus and different pieces of other composers like Morzart, Bach, and Uganda’s own Fr. Dr. A. Okello (composer of the Acholi Mass). They are comparable to only Choirs like Christ the King Church Choir.
Through the years, the choir has been invited to various places and has been invited to various places and has always put up stunning performances. In 1998, the choir made a name when it presented Christmas Carols at State House Nakasero. In 1999 it presented the Easter Carols at Rubaga. The same year, the choir was invited to sing during mass at Rubaga on the Kampala Arch Diocese Youth Day Celebrations. The main celebrant, Emmanuel Cardinal Wamala was highly impressed at the talent displayed by the Cherubim’s. He encouraged them to keep up the standard.

He put up this Artwork when he was still a student of Fine Art at Makerere University. It is a symbol of spiritual nourishment of SMACK. For this among other things, the Brother needs a big thank you.

The

St. Mary’s College Kisubi became a Sports power. It was most
unfortunate that victory brought tears to the school community 42 years
ago, when on November 14, 1964, as students were
returning from the Buganda Senior Cup victory match, they were mistaken
for Political Agitators, hence came face to face with untimely death in
a tragic accident, which claimed 12 of them, 12 miles on Entebbe
Highway, where Kisubi High School is located.
