Life At St Ignatius
Students live together based on their form level: students in forms 1 and 2 live in Junior House; students in forms 3 and 4 live in Middle House; and in forms 5 and 6, male students live in Senior House, and female students live in Mary Ward House.
Student life at St. Ignatius is dominated by three houses, separate from living accommodations, named Mkasa, Kagwa, and Lwanga. These groups compete with each other within the school for athletic and extra-curricular accolades.
Sporting disciplines offered at the college include track and field, rugby, basketball, swimming, volley ball,handball,hockey, soccer and netball. A strong vulture culture (Chigora) was practiced with varying degrees of fervor among students in the 90's. The names of the truly legendary practitioners could be found in the graffiti under the sink in the dark room of the senior house TV room until they were renovated. The Middle house TV room was also a room that was called the Baywatch (an act of peaking and appreciating the scene of Mary Ward Girls Swimming) in the earlier years until new regulations restricted the activity.

“Let me look at the foulness and ugliness of my body. Let me see myself as an ulcerous sore running with every horrible and disgusting poison.”
