Curriculum Overview
The New Lower Secondary Curriculum (NLSC) in Uganda represents a transformative shift from knowledge-based to competence-based learning. At Holy Cross Lake View SSS, we have fully embraced this innovative approach, which emphasizes practical skills, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.
Through the New Lower Secondary Competence Based Curriculum, our learners have been able to come up with very good projects under the Faculty of Science. Our students excelled in the recent National Agriculture Study Show at Jinja Show Grounds where they exhibited X-Caliber, Smart Dustbin, Smart Calculator, Solar Concentrator, Vacuum Cleaner, Organic Plant Soup and Modern Mushroom Growing.
