Bakita Night

Each year at St. Anne’s Senior High School (SAGISS) an event known as Bakita Night takes place. This is where the Freshman girls compete for the title of Queen. The girls model, perform (sing, dance, act), and speak on a subject of their choice. Pregnancy before marriage, the importance of family, and female genital mutilation are examples of topics the girls spoke about this year.

The Senior class coordinates the entire event, therefore, no Bakita Night is ever the same. Each year the atmosphere tends to take on a different tone. What is the same, however, is that the celebration is always enjoyable, full of laughter, and entertaining; culminating with a Queen and her Court being chosen and making three girls extremely happy.
