Academics Curriculum  |  The Arts  |  Extra Curricular Activities


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.
