High School Week 3 Newsletter

Dear Parent/Guardian,

We have successfully come to the end of week 3 of this term. It has been a busy week for our students and staff. I wish to thank you for your continued support.

Election of new student leaders

The first four weeks of each academic year are always marked with campaigns and elections at various levels. Being the time when new leadership teams are instituted all students are taken through PSHE lessons on leadership. It is interesting to see many of our learners mount up campaigns to try and convince their colleagues of what they can do best for the benefit of the entire students’ body. The students’ voice has always been the student council. Through it, we have had suggestions that have informed the priority projects undertaken and have gone a long way in changing the face of the school.

We just concluded the class representatives’ elections and the following were elected to represent their various classes.

We thank you parents for permitting your child to exercise his/her leadership skills.

Community Service

Students at Braeside High School are well aware of the privileged position in society they enjoy. They understand the need to help out those less blessed. It's this acceptance and   commitment which led to Teshi M, Naledi M, Chantal O, Lisa G and Anne J to organise the ‘Share a Shoe’ project. Sports shoes donated by their peers across the school were presented to students participating in the Ekiden race in Ndakaini on Saturday, 7th September 2019.

Universities Fair

The Sixth Form students attended the UK – University fair at Nairobi Academy on Thursday, 12th September 2019. The fair was open to students and teachers and was aimed at providing students with relevant university choices and availabilities in the UK.
