Under 18 Hockey
We are pleased to inform you that our students Waridi (8S), Nina (8N), Janice (10K) and Matthew (9S) have been selected to join the Kenya National Under 18 Hockey team. They have been undergoing a series of training sessions and once chosen, they will be representing Kenya in Youth Olympic tournament in Algeria.
Taster Days
Year six students had 3 taster days in High School as part of our transition programme. From the change in lesson venue, new ties, interactive lessons, Lab experiments and introduction to new subjects, to the much-anticipated school canteen experience, the taster days were crowned by an exhilarating trip to the safari walk.

‘It was great, the teachers were supportive, kind and sweet and the canteen was fun. The students were so kind and helpful.’ By Sinai
Entrepreneurship Day
On Wednesday this week we had the annual Braeside entrepreneurship day where we witnessed great business minds as the students were able to work individually or come together, form and register companies share business ideas, advertise and sell their products and services. Bravo to the young movers and shakers as they soar great heights in the business world!
Trips
Next week Year 7 and 8 will be going for their annual pastoral trips. We wish them safe trip and a wonderful stay as they engage in team building and other activities that aim to aid in character building.
