Term I of 2026 has seen various categories of sports represented at the district level. Girls' football was not left behind. OCJC, the home of beyond academic excellence , was eager to leave a mark and, yes, a mark it did leave, albeit a faint one. The 2026 girls' football team had twenty-three players who were trained by Mr. Olara Joe and captained by Aber Gabriella Mercy Bangi (S3, Red). The team trained for about five weeks before declaring themselves ready for the tournam

Just take a minute to follow a cricket game: the first thing you see is a set of heavily protected "players" carrying gear that is likely to intimidate a stranger. W

Thus far, Term I of 2026 has seen the girls' basketball team compete in two different tournaments. First was the Ball Games One Inter-School Tournament and, second, the Inter-School League Games. Our team has fared badly in both. Once again, we have proved to our opponents that we are mere participants rather than serious contenders. What are we repeatedly failing to unlock? The 2026 team had a total of 20 players. They were coached by Mr. Fidheli and captained by Rwotomiya R

March 2026 has been a busy month, especially in the domain of sports. The annual inter-school tournament—which eventually sees winners progressing to the regional level and finally the national level—kicked off at the district level. Within Gulu district, OCJC once again had the opportunity to flex its muscles as it confronted its traditional football and basketball nemeses. The 2026 boys' football team consisted of 26 players. The team was coached by Mr. Mambo James and capt

On March 25, the universal Church celebrated the solemnity of the Annunciation. At Ocer, the Nazareth Sisters, who identify closely with this solemnity, organized a special mass in their community. The mass began at 6pm after a heavy downpour that left at least one well-roofed house leaking. The mass, which was celebrated by the chaplain, Fr. Kiyaka, was well attended by representatives from almost all walks of life within Ocer—students, nurses, neighbors, teachers, etc. Mass

On March 15, YCS Ocer was blessed with a visit from the national team of YCS Gulu University. Among other objectives, the visit was meant to bring YCS members together and give them the opportunity to share their experiences. More importantly, the university team shared with their little brothers and sisters at Ocer what YCS is all about, especially after high school. On balance, the visit gave our students the joy of belonging to the YCS club and the confidence to serve Chr

Geetings from Ocer Campion Jesuit College where the new academic year 2026 is in full swing. Students, especially those in P7, S2, S3, S4 and S6, are slowly getting back into the ordinary school rhythm. Those in S1 are progressively internalizing Ocerian values and our way of proceeding.
