Vision Policy
The vision for the two schools is to provide the best quality education for the children of South Sudan, providing them with a platform to become good citizens and future leaders in a variety of fields.
The School Administration will consist of the Board of Governors. The Board shall be the highest body that will direct and approve all activities of the School. Daily activities including the running of the School will be left to the Head Teacher, who shall be assisted by the Curriculum and Administration Officers.
The Head Teacher must hold a Master’s degree preferably in Education from a recognized university. All teachers Must hold Bachelor degrees in Primary Education from recognized Schools of education.
The School is highly selective, with only the top performing students from other schools offered admission. Once offered admission, students must submit a letter of introduction from either the chief of their area, the pastor or father in charge of their parish/mission and a letter from their primary school headmaster. This is to ensure only disciplined students are admitted to maintaining the standards of the school. Parents of prospective pupils are very welcome to meet with the Head Teacher and visit the school.
The Bor School Pabial offers a broad, balanced and creative curriculum, which reflects and values the world around us. We meet the Republic of South Sudan programmes of study by planning and developing our own Bor School Pabial curriculum. This ensures that our learning and teaching is engaging and relevant to the needs and interests of our pupils across all subjects. The introduction of Dinka language is unique to The Bor School Pabial.
Parents shall also meet the cost of exercise books, pens and other necessary materials for the pupils. However, in light of the current economic situation in South Sudan, parents may face difficulties in meeting these required costs. As such, the School shall invite donors and well-wishers to help the pupils’ parents to meet these costs (where necessary).
Full written reports will be sent out to parents/guardians towards the end of the academic year. For each subject, there are detailed comments about progress, achievement and effort and also areas for future development. Homework is an integral part of our school programme and, as such, needs to be supported by parents/guardians.
Each pupil will have 2 pairs of school uniform and 2 pairs of sports uniform. Ideally, parents shall meet the cost of school and sports uniforms. However, in situations whereby parents are unable to meet the cost of uniforms due to economic hardships, the support of donors and well-wishers will be welcomed.
The Bor School provides a segregated accommodation that’s to say there is a separate accommodation for female and male pupils. Also, accommodations for staff are available in the School.
Although the School will employ qualified medical personnel for emergencies, parents, and guardians of the pupils will be contacted to collect their children for better medical attention when need be.
Although The Bor School Pabial is a non-profit school it will charge fees to meet the cost of its pupils’ feeding, its teachers’ salaries and improvement of the School facilities.
We shall follow the South Sudan term system, whereby there are three (3) academic terms that each last for three (3) months with the first term beginning in the month of January.
The Bor School Pabial values and gives special attention to sports. It is for this reason that the school has embedded Physical Education in its curriculum.
The Bor School knowing the importance of Hygiene and environment as elements in human life it will employ a hygienist and environmentalist to monitor the general health.
One of the objectives of the School is to expose children to different environments. Exposure is one of the vital tools in learning. Therefore such visits will be compulsory, and the parents and guardians will meet the cost of the trip.
Our School ‘Code of Conduct’ forms the basis of a number of class discussions and assemblies. It emphasizes children’s responsibilities towards each other and rewards good work and behavior in a number of ways including merit points, class rewards.
The school greatly values the support of parents in maintaining our happy and supportive school environment.
The Bor School Pabial recognizes the freedom of worship and belief, therefore Muslims are allowed to attend Friday masses and Christians are open for Saturday and Sunday masses. For those who wish to pray daily are welcomed but they can do that within the School premises.
South Sudan is widely viewed as a country with substantial investment risk due to the civil war. However, it is important not to live in fear and must maintain a forward-looking approach towards the future. Looking to the future means investing in today’s youth, as they are the future of South Sudan.
Physical safety of our members both students and staff is paramount. In addition safety facilities such as a fence, a wall and security guards will be available 24 hours on the main entrance of the School. Hotline telephone communication will be opened with the Bor County Police.
The School is well-situated from a security perspective, as it shares a wall with the World Food Programme in Bor and is a short walking distance from Bor Airport and the UNMISS Bor Compound.
