11. STUDENTS RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIESTanzania Students Christian Fellowship and Tanzania Youth Christians Students religious organizations were active throughout the year in various religious activities which included: Leading evening prayers among students themselves at the school chapel Organizing and leading Wednesday fellowships. Leading Thursday evening devotion at the Hospital Chapel. Singing (choir) at Ndolage congregation every Sunday and outside Ndolage on invitation. Participated actively in Easter Conference competition and won the first prize.

12: STUDENTS SELF-RELIANCE ACTIVITIES.Students continued participating in self reliance activities such as keeping school environment and their dormitories clean whereby every student has got his/her small portion to work on and maintain cleanliness weekly .They also worked in their small plots of banana plantations by weeding, planting beans and maize.

13: STUDENTS RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIESStudents participated in sports especially football, volleyball and table tennis. Occasionally they had friendly matches with other teams within the region. Sometimes they also had dances among themselves during the evening time. But they also entertained themselves with radio programmes, television in their recreation room. School choir, HIV/ AIDS youth club, drama were among students entertainment as well as educative activities.

14: ACHIEVEMENTS1. We completed the training program as scheduled in the curriculum and the graduation ceremony was on 30th August 2014.2. Through the limited school budget we have managed to continue supporting staff to further their education. One Nurse Tutor graduated successfully with an award of Bsc. degree in Nursing Education from Bugando University and another one is in his second year perusing a Diploma at SLADS-Bagamoyo (School of Library Archives and Documentation Studies).3. We managed to get permission by TNMC to start a one year diploma program for in-service certificate nurses and we started in September with seven students.4. We carried out renovation of some buildings and added more mattresses (25 mattresses)5. We were able to repair and improve dining hall tables and added more benches for students to sit.6. Through the new Central Admission System we managed to admit a total of 55 new first year students.7. We have planted about 200 trees.8. We prepared a self evaluation report and submitted to NACTE, a process for renewal of accreditation.9. Our school farming project and animal husbandry has assisted the school a little bit financially.

15: CHALLENGES.1. We are faced with financial constraints in such a way that we cannot fulfill our wishes. Most self sponsored students are not in position to pay school fees in time.2. We are lacking a computer laboratory and an adequate IT room to accommodate a good number of students at a time.3. We have not managed to get internet connectivity.4. The school car is getting old and old and it is becoming expensive to maintain.5. We dont have an electricity back-up which leads to a lot of inconveniences when there is electricity cut off.

16: FUTURE PLANS.1. To purchase a stand- by generator to back-up electricity supply in case of a cut off.2. Finish up the multipurpose hall.( flooring and furniture)3. Install an internet connection.4. Improve school small projects to assist with school income5. Try hard to find funds to meet school plans of improving teaching/learning environment

17: VISITORSThe school has appreciated the visitation of delegates from Partners, Churches, from Tanzania and Abroad, Government and ELCT/NWD Officials, and other friends of Ndolage who continue to show their interest with the school. Again you are warmly welcome for more visits.

Respectfully submitted to you by,
