OCTOBER,8, 2011: ZAMBIA PRISONS SERVICE (ZPS) Deputy Commissioner and Parole Board founding chairman Frederick CHILUKUTU has urged school pupils to utilize school time to defeat the challenges of adolescence and youth in order to become responsible citizens.
Mr Chilukutu was yesterday guest of honour at St Paul’s Mulungushi High School awards and prize presentation ceremony, about 27 kilometres, north east of Kabwe about 6 kilometres downstream to UNIP’s Mulungushi Rock of Authority.
St Paul’s (www.stpaulsmulungushi.org) founded in 1960 celebrated its 50 years Golden Jubilee in October 2010 with these awards coming nearly one year since the Jubilee.
He said, “Adolescence is the time when most of us lose it and never to recover. It is also the time when we as pupils can groom ourselves into responsible citizens.”
St Paul’s alumna Chilukutu, (1987-91), presented prizes and awards with individual support of Ex Santos Association members represented by Chairman Colins Nzovu as well as institutional support of Zambia Centre for Accountancy Studies (ZCAS) and University of Lusaka (UNILUS) among others.
Zambia Institute of Marketing (ZIM) immediate past Second Vice President (2006-2010) and ZCAS Business Development Manager, another alumna, Mwabashike Nkulukusa last Saturday travelled to St Paul’s to deliver ZCAS support to headmaster Brother Kasongo Mwape.
St Paul’s alumni, include Emmanuel Chenda, Ben Kapita, Bwalya Ngandu, Gen Peter Zuze, Gen Sibamba, Elias Chipimo, (late) Paul Tembo, Abyudi Shonga, Mubanga Kondolo, Jason Kazilimani, Collins Nkatiko, Kalumiana Kalumiana, Henry Ngilazi, Paddy and Mainza Mukando, Felix Nkulukusa, Vernon Nakacinda, and Maloba Musenge among others.
Mr Chilukutu presented about 60 awards worth about K5million which included Student of the Year 2011 (K150,000), Overall Best Girl and Overall Best Boy (K150,000) each. The prize giving programme also included appointment of new prefects.
He told the audience of pupils and Ministry of Education officials and award recipients, “You are lucky to be at this school where that entire adolescent crisis can be neutralised by the very dedicated brothers, teachers, parents as well as the conducive learning environment of St Paul’s.”
