Aga Khan Primary School

Message from Barbara Mayanja

Hi, I am Barbara Mayanja, and I joined Aga Khan Primary from Aga Khan Nursery in 1966. I remember my older sisters taking about Mr. Dixsit. But I found Mr. Jinnah, Mr. Hinchcliff, Mrs. Mascarenas, Mrs. Devji , Mr. Ramji , and Ms Lutwama (one of the few African teachers) at the school. I have a photo taken in 1969 and my classmates where Bilkish Sundrani (father worked in Nakivubo Stadium), Shahnaz Huddah (Stayed near the school?), Shahnaz Alibali (Alibahi’s Garage), Nashrine Jaffer (Jeffries Ice Cream and Park Hotel), Shyrose (?), Umeshafiq Bandali Jaffer, Nimet (Jaffer?), Marion Kabali-Kaggwa, and Mr. Jinnah and Mr. Ramji’s daughters. Then among the boys was Fred Walter, a boy whose family had a large furniture shop on Kampala Road and he stayed in a house opposite Jamat Khana, ( grey Peugeot pickup used to drop and pick him and other family members from school),a boy called Najib, and another boy whose family name was Bawa Singh. Then another boy was born in Bugerere and he was fluent in Luganda. Also I remember a Zulfikar, and Mark Hartman (had a sister called Sarah and a brother called Lee),who came while in P6. Anybody still there, I would love to hear from you.
