update:
The school
has been facing a good deal of upheaval since October 2021 when parents started
taking their children out of school due to the behaviour of the Principal.
The
Ministry of Education and MP have been involved in various meetings trying to
defuse the situation but the parents were adamant they wanted the Principal to
be transferred.
The Principal
stayed away for a while and the children began to come back but then she
returned and they left again.
Since
January only Form 4 students have been in school studying for their KCSE leaving
exam.
The Board
of Management were on strike so the school was pretty much paralysed as the
Principal was the only person with access to the school fund.
She has now
been formally transferred but it appears she cleaned out the school fund before
she left.
The new
Principal has been appointed and will take up post shortly.
Stephen
will visit on a regular basis to monitor the situation and offer what support
he can.
The school
expects the students to return at the start of the new school year in
April. 70+ are expexted.
