As extra-curricular,
or co-curricular, activities are vital in the
development of the whole child, the school offers
a wide range of these activities.
Leadership Opportunities
These activities present opportunities
for the senior grade 6 students to develop their
leadership skills. The group assists the staff
with the smooth running of the school. Their
duties include lunch area supervision, wet day
supervision of classes and initiating projects
such as recycling and pastoral care of the younger
students.
The sporting programme provides students with
the chance to captain teams.
The school operates a Student
Council with representation from grades one
to six. Members are given opportunities to help
solve student problems in a collaborative manner.
LAMDA
Drama Development in association with
The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts
(LAMDA) offers students opportunities to develop
skills in speech, drama and communication. The
courses run within the school’s daily
curriculum and on the school premises. Programmed
to run for the full academic year, each pupil
is prepared for various examinations before
an examiner from LAMDA.
Enrichment Programme
Once a week, students are given a choice
of enriching and fun activities sponsored by
members of the school staff. Activities on offer
are rock climbing, horse riding, archery, golf,
cookery, mask making, reading circles and model
making. Some of these may incur an extra cost.
House System
Students are divided within four houses:
Mara, Serengeti, Tsavo and Amboseli. Students
are allocated to one of the four houses on their
first arrival at the school. They usually join
the same House as their older siblings already
in school. All teaching staff are allocated
to one of the four houses when they join the
school.
The Houses compete in the Inter-House fixtures
in a range of sports and also in swimming, quiz
competitions and debates. House Teachers and
House Captains help organize teams for upcoming
events and develop house identity and spirit.
Sports
The school hosts and undertakes a variety
of sports. All students are expected to take
part in Physical Education (P.E.) and Swimming.
Children are given opportunities to experience
various sporting activities and refine their
physical abilities and skills through continuous
practice. Through P.E. students learn the "language"
of physical movement and explore the skills
associated with the different strands of P.E.
Through the various physical activities offered
in School, students begin to become aware of
their sporting talents, which are then nurtured
throughout their stay in school.
The School takes part in and hosts several inter-school
competitions and tournaments. Physical Education
and Swimming are part of the school curriculum
and all students are expected to take part in
them.
The following sports and activities are offered
at the school, through a balanced programme
each term:
- Field hockey
- Netball
- Squash
- Gymnastics
- Cricket
- Swimming
- Golf
- Rounders
- Soccer
- Athletic
- Cross-country
- Creative dance.
Through sporting activities, links are built
with parents, the local community and beyond.
All children take part in swimming lessons,
a valuable life skill. Sports days and Swimming
Galas are annual events in our school year.
Outdoors
The school takes full advantage of
the excellent environs around Kenya and promotes
outdoor education. Both class teachers and sports
teachers take students on field trips through
the year. Some of the trips organized are camping
at Naivasha, white water rafting on Sagana River,
overnight trips to Game Parks and other fieldwork
expeditions.
