While details regarding the soldiers’ demands remain unclear, access routes are now open and movement has resumed without disruption.

As a result, school operations will return to normal tomorrow, Thursday, 16 April 2026. We encourage all students and staff to plan their travel as usual. Bus services will also resume tomorrow. Families who use this service are advised to prepare their children for pick-up at the usual time in the morning.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation during this period and look forward to welcoming everyone back to campus.

🌍📚 An Unforgettable Week of Learning Afloat! 🚢✨

This week was truly special as 300 students, accompanied by their dedicated teachers, stepped aboard the MV Doulos for an inspiring educational visit.

From exploring the ship’s rich history to discovering a world of knowledge through books and interactive learning spaces, our students were wide-eyed with curiosity and excitement. The laughter, thoughtful questions, shared moments of discovery, and meaningful conversations made each visit memorable.

✨ Highlights of the week included:

Students engaging with books from around the world

Learning about life at sea and global cultures

Teachers guiding reflections and discussions

Smiles, photos, and memories that will last a lifetime

We are grateful for this wonderful opportunity that sparked learning beyond the classroom and broadened young minds. A big thank you to the crew, teachers, and students for making this week such a success! 🌟📖

Today marked the first general assembly for TSA Academy, officially kicking off the 2026 academic year. Students were seated in their respective classes alongside their class teachers, listening attentively to God’s Word shared by our School Administrator, Major Marlina.

She encouraged the school community with a message drawn from Matthew 7:24, reminding us of the importance of building our lives on a strong and faithful foundation.

During the assembly, the school also paused to pay respect and express heartfelt sympathy for the passing of our dear teacher assistant, the late Ube Sayavato, who was promoted to glory yesterday morning.

A minute of silent prayer was observed in honour of her life and service to the community.
