PHYSICS
Any interaction with anything that occupies space and has weight with energy is PHYSICS. Physics applications in our day to day living are endless. From the least actions like writing using a ball point pen to the complexities of space science.
There is beauty within
T he beauty is ever before us. By us, I mean students of the mighty ST JOHN’S WAKISO SECONDARY SCHOOL. Some call us St Johnians. It is all okay because in our name we find our pride. St John’s is gifted with nature including beautiful vegetation, good looking students plus skilled teachers not forgetting those who make our lives possible-the kitchen staff. These factors all contribute to the unique beauty of our school. Our beloved Proprietor did us no harm in putting in place this institution of knowledge some years back and it makes us glad.

The wonders in Computer studies
Computer studies basically involves use of monitors, keyboards, mice and `CPUs`. A computer is a programmable electronic device that can process, store and retrieve data. In today`s era, it is as good as a global norm to know a thing, two or even more about a computer. Someone who knows nothing about the computer today is basically in the Stone Age period. Computer studies is different from ICT (Information and Communication Technology) as done by the new curriculum in Uganda even though both involve the study of a computer as a device in daily life.

CHEMISTRY
There is a common saying that only death will separate friends; but for sure, not even death can separate us from chemistry. Chemistry is everything and indeed everything is chemistry. We are told that everything that occupies space and has weight is matter; little did we know that matter is composed of chemistry.
BIOLOGY
Did you know that the Great European Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte died of cancer that developed from his chronic ulcers? Many of these great leaders indeed died prematurely simply because the study of biology had not been greatly improved to understand how such diseases would have been avoided.
THE "MOTHER" OF SCIENCES, AND THE ART OF ARTS
Obviously everything has an origin, and so does Science and Arts. Have you ever taken a critical moment to deeply think about that content, skill-packed and knowledge-loaded, to train man as a mutual friend of his surrounding?
