The school runs a number of activities on Tuesdays from 4 to 5 p.m. to develop the students’ gifts and creativity, stimulate thinking, and provide some help to the local community.
Journalism Club
The activities in this club develop talents, educates people on social and moral issues (e.g. drugs, AIDS) and improves school entertainment. It has had good success in inter-school competitions.
It also helps studens to write reports or articles on a range of school and inter-school activities, and on current events using internet information, which is provided at school. Future plans include a school magazine or newspaper.
Maths Club
discusses and solves maths problems in real-life situations in a fun way, and improves academic grades.
Red Cross Club
provides First Aid Training, helps people in the community (donating second-hand clothes to orphanages) and teaches accident prevention to the rest of the school.
Science Club
carries out experiments (some from the curriculum) and develops an improved grasp of theory and practice.
Scouts Club
teaches practical skills and helps clean and maintain the school premises.
Wildlife & Environment Club
teaches environmental conservation, provides visits to national parks and game reserves, and educates the school community in conservation.
Christian Union
The Christian Union meeting takes place on Wednesdays from 2:40 to 5:30 p.m. in the school hall. Students lead the praise and worship, and local preachers share challenging gospel and faith-building messages. Many have given their lives to Christ during these meetings, or as a result of them.
We are very pleased that students are receiving a good secondary education, but it is even more important that students come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and continue to walk with Him day by day into their adult lives. This cannot be forced, but opportunities are given for students to come to personal faith experiences.
Guidance & Counselling
Pastoral care is an important aspect of school life. The students meet in Guidance & Counselling groups on Fridays from 4 to 5 p.m. Each group includes a teacher, and two lead students. Topics/issues are written down anonymously beforehand, and then discussed in the group. Private guidance & counselling sessions occur where students can share with teachers in strict confidence any issues that concern them.
General talks are sometimes given by professional counsellors.
Sports
Sports encourage teamwork, physical fitness, and discipline, football being the favourite for boys and girls (played separately). Other sports include volleyball, netball, athletics and rugby. Inter-school football matches are very competitive!
Activities take place at the local Mwiki Youth Sports Association (MYSA) ground a few hundred yards from the school on Thursdays from 2:40 to 5 p.m.
