Our school

Every Child Has the Potential to Thrive

At Raphela Junior School, we believe every child has unique talents, abilities and potential. Our aim is to nurture these qualities through meaningful learning experiences, positive values and a supportive school community.

Founded in 2013, Raphela is a private, Catholic-founded mixed day primary school in Mulawa, Kira — UNEB Centre No. 539284 — welcoming children aged two to thirteen.

Our campuses

One school, two campuses

Raphela welcomes families at two friendly campuses in Kira Town Council — the main school at Mulawa and our pre-school in Najjera — so a child can start with us in the nursery years and carry straight on into primary.

Kira Campus

Kira Town

This is the school’s main campus. It offers both nursery and primary education, so a child can begin with us in the early childhood classes and carry on into the primary classes without changing campuses.
