School update
The school
has a new Principal ..... She has only
been in post for 3 weeks. She presented
an impressive note of the state of the school and its needs.
The school
has, as usual, been left pretty much unattended for 3 months despite the
requirement for a rota of teachers to be in school to cover the whole holiday
period.
There are
now 131 students on roll with 51 new recruits in Form 1. This is an excellent start to the year.
50 students
are boarding – 40 girls and 10 boys.
There are
only 4 TSC teachers compared to the full complement of 9. The HT expects more teachers to be allocated
soon.
The roof of
one of the TAS bandas has collapsed due to heavy rainfall. It will be repaired by the school.
TAS projects still to be undertaken with PRD
funding:
Construction
of an Applied Learning banda
Construction
of 3 study bandas for use by staff and the community.
Completion
of the sports project
Educational
trip.
Solar power
to dining hall and library
Miscelleneous
science
resources, admin equipment, lockers and chairs.
The total sum available for these projects is
KES 5m. It would be good to get them
done asap so as to take advantage of the
favourable exchange rate.
