Throughout the day, attendees enjoyed an array of cultural performances, skill demonstrations, and, of course, a delicious assortment of fish dishes prepared from the school’s own ponds.

Professional chefs crafted these meals, underscoring the nutritional and economic benefits of sustainable fish farming.

St. Kizito High School has developed a thriving aquaculture program, with its own fish ponds where students engage in every aspect of sustainable fish farming, from breeding to harvesting.

This hands-on experience teaches students not only about food production but also about self-sustainability and environmental stewardship. “Our aquaculture program is one of many initiatives at St. Kizito that gives students real-world skills,” explained Headmaster Ezekiel Kazibwe.

“Our students also showcased projects in sustainable energy, like waste-to-briquettes and solar drying, as well as advanced farming methods, including solar irrigation, mushroom farming, smart poultry systems, and vertical gardening.”

The Fish Festival attracted a wide variety of participants, all eager to see the students’ innovations and support the school’s commitment to a sustainable future.

The event highlighted the school’s progressive approach to education, preparing students for a world where green skills are increasingly vital.

For everyone involved, this year’s Fish Festival was more than just a feast it was an inspiring celebration of community, learning, and environmental responsibility.
