School update:
The 6 young men from NYS who have been co-opted to be
unqualified teachers were present. All
seem keen and the HT is pleased with their performance.
The dormitories have been in partial use until now pending
delivery of beds and mattresses from UNICEF. They are expected to be in full use at the
start of the new school year in January.
A very successful event with the MP was held – he brought
pencils for the students.
The library looked in good order with furniture and
books. It is in full use on a rota basis
out of school hours . It cant be used
during school time as the teachers feel they have to teach to the
curriculum in class time. We discussed the use of the library for
independant study but there is as yet no time for this in the primary
curriculum.
The KCPE exams start next week. Good results are hoped for.
Every classroom has one of the TAS funded conservation
posters displayed.
The trees have been well cared for and watered and are growing slowly.
SK agreed to try and get KWS to bring in conservation DVDs
when the school has a DVD player. They
will put forward a proposal to TAS. for this.
The county has installed 2 new water tanks and NYS is
supplying 500 ++ tree seedlings.
The school wishes to vire 250,000 Kes from funds sent for an
educational trip and an education day to a new water project. The HT will write to request this.
Next meeting will be late January 2019 – hopefully.
