Cyber Security Awareness at St Jude’s  October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and you bet St Jude’s actively took part in this international initiative promoting online safety!     With the tagline #TrustNoOneProtectEverything, our staff across the three campuses participated in a series of activities hosted by our Corporate Applications team. Staff competed for cool prizes in online quizzes and other activities promoting cyber safety and security. Winners were recognised during our monthly Employee Huddle.  It was a powerful reminder for our staff and students alike to stay vigilant and protect organisational and personal data from cyberattacks.  A special highlight was a lovely surprise from one of our alumni, Zuberi, a software engineer and cyber security expert, who returned to lead an insightful training for our Head Office staff.

Another historic day at St Jude's! Last Saturday, 235 students from St Jude’s graduated from Ordinary Level (O Level) secondary education.     In Tanzania, secondary school is divided into two levels: the first four years of Ordinary Level (O Level), from Form 1 to Form 4, and the final two years of Advanced Level (A Level), Form 5 and 6. A graduation ceremony marks the end of each level.     The colorful event brought together graduates from both St Jude’s Girls' Secondary School and St Jude’s Secondary School for the first joint celebration.     Our graduates will spend the next few weeks preparing for their final national examinations. We wish them all the best!

Our prospective tertiary scholars Alumni SchoolofStJude recently received powerful training to prepare them for their next adventure in higher education.
