SUPPORTING THE EDUCATION OF GIRLS
Our Relationship with Gayaza School Continues.
“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.”
At Gayaza Alumnae Network, we highly value our connection with our former students.
We are highly active across social media. Former staff and students are encouraged to engage with each other and the school via our Alumni & Old Scholars facebook page, where we also publicise our alumni’s achievements and share memories of our school.
We always love hearing from our former students. Perhaps you have news or photos you would like to share, or maybe you would like us to include a new event on our social calendar, or facilitate a reunion of your Year Group… please get in touch.

Dear Gayaza Alumnae,
DEATH ANNOUNCEMENT
Christine Erina Muwanse Wolukau-Wanambwa
4th July 1948 to 23 January 2022
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of a Gayaza Alumna who was a retired trustee of Gayaza Alumnae Network. Christine served on the Board between 2000 and 2006. Her enduring contribution was to encourage the charity to focus on doing a few things well, rather than to spread our efforts thinly across many interest areas.
Christine joined Gayaza in Junior 1 in 1960. She became Head Girl and left after her A levels in 1967. She won a Commonwealth Scholarship to study Dentistry in Glasgow and began her studies in September 1968. She worked in Dentistry from then on. She was lastly at Impressions Orthodontics Ltd, High Wycombe Buckinghamshire. For several years, until 2016 Christine worked several months a year with her cousin Dr Tom Mutyabule at Pan Dental Surgery in Uganda.
Christine passed away in the early hours of Sunday 23rd January 2022 after a long illness. She was surrounded by her family who were supported by an outstanding team at Bridgeside Lodge Care Centre. She leaves behind a daughter Emma and son Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa.
Owing to ongoing Covid 19 restrictions, Christine’s family have opted to hold a small invitation only private service followed by cremation. Christine’s ashes will be interred with the body of her late husband Pete in the village of Nalondo Butta, Manafwa District
May Christine’s soul rest in eternal peace.
Kind regards,
Jbanya
