THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE SCHOOL:
The school was founded by the Roman Catholic Church. It started as a sub-Grade in 1930 under the supervision and guidance of the then parish priest of Busuubizi Parish, Rev. Fr. Pere Verpoteri. The first teacher was Mr Yozefu Lugoloobi with twenty boys who were taught Religious education, Reading, writing and Arithmetic. In 1941 it became a government aided school with three classes. By that time girls were not sent to school because they could not become leaders. However around 1959 girls were admitted in the school and until today it has remained a mixed school. St Luka Baanabakintu Kakindu P/S changed the headship from lay people to religious in the Institute of Immaculate Heart of Mary Reparatrix-Ggogonya in 1993 and it has remained in the management of Sisters to date. The pioneer sister to head the school was Sr. Maria Teopista followed by Sr. M Annet Concepta Nazziwas among others.
