Culture

At IGIHOZO Saint Peter Secondary School, we hold a deep reverence for Rwandan culture, recognizing its intrinsic value in shaping the identity and values of our students. Our commitment to preserving and celebrating Rwandan heritage is exemplified through initiatives such as our traditional dance group. This vibrant ensemble not only entertains and enlivens our school events but also serves as a vital conduit for imparting the richness of Rwandan culture to our students. Through participation in the dance group, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in traditional Rwandan dance, poetry, songs, and other cultural expressions, thus deepening their connection to their cultural roots and fostering a sense of pride in their heritage.

We firmly believe in the profound wisdom embedded within Rwandan culture, as encapsulated by the proverb "Agahugu katagira umuco karacika" (A country without culture is already destroyed). This proverb serves as a guiding principle for our school community, emphasizing the indispensable role of culture in the fabric of society. By integrating cultural education into our curriculum and extracurricular activities, we strive to instill in our students a profound appreciation for Rwandan traditions, values, and customs. Through this holistic approach to education, we aim to cultivate well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also deeply rooted in their cultural heritage, equipped with the knowledge and respect necessary to contribute meaningfully to the preservation and advancement of Rwandan culture both within our school and beyond.
