Yearbook Committee Greetings and a very warm welcome to the annual St Andrew’s Senior School Yearbook! This edition hopes to provide students, staff and readers alike with the highlights of the past 2015-2016 academic year. As an institution that seeks to provide it’s students and staff the ability to nurture and pursue their interests, we hope that this Yearbook will provide this. It showcases the talents, as well as preserving the memories created this school year for each student and faculty member alike, maintaining the strong Christian ethos at the epicenter. Behind every St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

production of the Yearbook is an exceptional team, and I would like to take this opportunity to applaud the phenomenal hands of the Yearbook committee led by Mr. Chris Otieno and our designer Miss Iyadi Leloon, who worked tremendously hard to produce this Yearbook. Thank you and I hope you enjoy this publication! Louise Macharia Editor-in-chief

5 Headmaster’s welcome

“

We are focused on helping our students deepen their Christian walk and have a closer relationship with our Lord Jesus

Headmaster’s welcome It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the 2016 edition of the Senior School Yearbook. What an exciting year it has been, reaching new heights with students and staff in spiritual development, academics, sports and all other areas of the School. As a Christian School, we are focused on helping our students deepen their Christian walk and have a closer relationship with our Lord Jesus. To this end, I would like to appreciate the chapels, Youth Alpha, Christian Union and bible study groups, that have been held over the course of the year, that have strengthened the faith of our students. We as the School staff body, continue to raise the students in prayer in this important aspect of their lives. Academically, our students kept our flag high, with an impressive set of exam results, and accolades were won during the Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards and Cambridge Awards. It was a pleasure to witness our

students receive recognition for achieving the highest marks in Africa and Kenya in several subjects. I am particularly pleased to mention the achievements of our sports teams. Key highlights were winning, the Braeburn Athletics Championships, U15 rugby, U15 netball and U19 boys’ basketball leagues. Other excellent performances were in football, cross-country and hockey. As a member of Round Square, an international organisation that looks to develop students based on the six ideals (Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership and Service), we participated in conferences in Marrakech, Morocco and in Johannesburg, South Africa. These were truly lovely experiences, where our teams enjoyed interacting with students from all around the world. Musically, we enjoyed several high quality performances by our students, who worked hand in hand with our Drama

department and produced an outstanding School production. Some of our music students went to Japan for a musical tour, where they had a great experience giving several excellent performances at the African Music Festival in Yokohama, Japan. This academic year, we entered the World Scholar’s Cup for the first time. Our students did exceptionally well in the Regional Round and as a result, qualified for the Global Round. We look forward to further successes in years to come. And as we bid farewell to Year 13 students, I am proud of their academic achievement which has resulted in 40 students receiving offers from the World Top 200 Universities. Out of these 40 students, 25 of them have received offers from universities in the World Top 100. These destinations have validated their hard work and the faith that we have placed in them. In the words of John W. Gardner, “Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well”. We remain up to the challenge of achieving excellence, with God’s grace and favour, in the next academic year.

Yours faithfully, Mr. Andrew Boulle Headmaster St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

6 Director’s Word

Director This Yearbook is a celebration as well as a record of ‘the Class of 2016’. Schools have characters and histories, of course, which define them, but they are really about people: pupils, students and those who teach, care and provide for them. All of you who fill these pages have both shaped and been shaped by Turi. You have left your mark in the unique contributions you have made to the life of the School, just as the character of Turi is very much evident in the people you have become. We wish each of you well, and our prayers go before you. We also hope you will keep in touch! We understand that you will be focussed on what comes next and be eager to move on from your school days; but we would be interested to hear, from time to time, of your progress: the subjects you study, the jobs you do, the places

St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

you go and the people you meet. Turi has laid some important foundations. Let us know how you build on them. We invite you, too, to be active as Old Turians. As a society, it is more than merely a record of alumni. Increasingly, it’s a vibrant organisation for former pupils and students, and for the wider Turi family. Its central aims are to play whatever part it can in supporting and encouraging you as your lives unfold, and to encourage philanthropic giving in support of the School. May God bless you and keep you in the years ahead. Mr. John Richardson Director

It always seems impossible until it’s done

Deputy Head Academic As Deputy Headmaster (Academic) there are a number of key performance indicators that I would look at to measure the academic success of the School. Academic results are certainly very important, but for me the key indicator is the final university destination of our students – both the quality of institution that they succeed in gaining entry to and whether they have been successful in gaining places at the university and course of their choice. At the time of writing, using this indicator, 2016 has been a highly successful year for St Andrew’s. Forty of the fifty-one students in Year 13 have received offers from one of the World Top 200 Universities and twenty-five of the forty have offers from universities in the World Top 1001, including Imperial College, London (8th) to read Engineering, the “Ivy league” University of Pennsylvania (18th) to read Economics, University of Toronto (19th) to read Business and Sports management, London

School of Economics (23rd) to read Geography with Economics, Edinburgh (24th) – two students with places- and New York University (30th) – five students with places. We are very proud of this success which is a credit to both the students and their teachers – especially Head of College Mr Andwati and Head of Careers and Higher Education, Mrs Andwati. We trust that Turi alumni will make their mark on these world leading institutions. The year started with St. Andrew’s celebrating success in A level and IGCSE exams. At A level, 38% of all entries were grades A or A* and 63% grade B or higher. At IGCSE over 50% of grades were A or A*. This success was recognised at the Edexcel Outstanding Learner Awards in Nairobi in January where a number of our students were honoured. At IGCSE, the highest mark in Africa award for IGCSE English went to Hyde Tareemwa, for IGCSE Geography to Eric Kibogo, for GCSE Drama to Karen Wandia

and IGCSE French to Ketsia Mambi. At A level the highest marks in Africa award for English Literature went to Paulette Mbeya and for Drama to Shiiro Mungai, with Nicole Mbowe receiving the highest mark in Kenya for A level Psychology. As well as regional success in Edexcel GCSE and A levels, St Andrew’s students also picked up a number of awards from the Cambridge International Examinations Board from the June 2015 series of exams. Awards for the best result in Kenya were achieved by Karen Wandia for IGCSE Sociology, Joy Muchai for AS level Business Studies and Economics, Hazel Nyang’aya for AS History and Shiiro Mungai for A Level History. As well as maintaining classroom focus, the School continues to develop its provision outside the classroom. Academic clubs and societies have been introduced as part of an improved Saturday programme. As well as Model United Nations, Rhino Cup debating, the “Town and Gown” UK universities tour and a life-changing musical tour to Japan, the School, under the leadership of Mrs Nyariki, Ms Hobkinson and Mr Lynton entered a team of students for the Africa World Scholar’s Cup. They were so successful that no less than twenty-four Year 9 and 10 students qualified for the World final held in Bangkok last June – an incredible achievement for the first year of entry into this prestigious competition. It is our aim at St Andrew’s for our students to aspire to the highest academic achievement and in this regard 2015 /2016 has been a highly successful year. It is our aim as the Academic Faculty, not only to support students in gaining the highest academic results but also, though curricular and co-curricular studies to allow them to develop a passion for the subjects they study and for learning itself.

St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

It has been my privilege this year to work with an outstanding pastoral team. Both the team and the student body, have worked to develop and implement plans, to ensure that we are providing each student with the best possible experience of boarding life. I would particularly like to thank each of the House Parents and their spouses, the Tutor teams, the School Matron, Mrs Bilha Barnett and the Assistant Head of Pastoral - Mrs Claire Scott. As well as our Chaplains, School Counsellor and the Medical Team, who have all worked together with unfailing commitment and energy, to support and encourage the young people in our care. As a team they have been proactive and positive, both in the way they have offered the pupils academic, emotional and practical support but also in the way they have given input to planning and improving students’ pastoral experience here at St Andrew’s. We are delighted to have begun some major upgrading of the Boarding Houses this year and look forward to seeing many of these improvements completed by September, so that pupils can enjoy a more home-like environment with facilities that are of the highest quality. In addition to this, we have appointed a matron to each individual boarding house as a way of further improving the care we provide to the pupils in their boarding houses. Further to this, we hosted the first ever East African Residential Pastoral Conference in June

this year, bringing together over 50 delegates from a wide range of international schools for seminars and discussion forums to focus on sharing experience and improving the way we care for our students. This is just one of the ways that we are working to lead the way on pastoral care. Last, but by no means least, it has been an enormous privilege to work with so many of the students over this year. I have been very struck by the maturity, initiative and integrity of our young people. While we might work to constantly improve and strengthen the pupil experience, it is the young people themselves who have the greatest influence on the atmosphere and culture of St Andrew’s, making it the very special place that it is.

Mr. Rob Youlten Deputy Head Pastoral

Academic

Head of College

It is an honour to write to you to celebrate the achievements of our College students (the Year 13-class of 2016 and the equally capable Year 12 group). The Class of 2016 have travelled a long journey and have finally completed their high school education. This outstanding group of young men and women are the authentic leaders of today and tomorrow. Thinking back through the last few years, these students have served diligently within the school community, in Turi, Molo, Eldoret to name a few. Some highlights for me include the leadership role played during the 2015 Service Week with Starehe Boys Centre and the year 12s initiative to honour the workforce by organising a ceremony in their honour. We have undoubtedly seen the fruit of their labour. The progress which they have made in

elevating student leadership within this School is self-evident. The huge diversity in terms of university placements is a testament to their willingness to explore new frontiers. In many different ways, they have done us proud. The Year 12 students have similarly exhibited the drive and energy to implement several excellent Charity projects, not least of which was the drive to raise funds for Mr. Buyu, a former Physics teacher at Turi who needed specialised treatment in India. We look forward to the unique skills and talents which the current Year 12 students will bring to the table during their final year as leaders of the School community. As a community, we should take every opportunity to applaud their efforts and guide them back to the right path when they make mistakes, which they undoubtedly will. In doing so, we will help them to be real, authentic leaders. Every one of the graduating class have done well in getting this far. However, there is much they will learn in their educational journey ahead whether in their home countries or elsewhere. Each student is uniquely gifted and our hope is that every individual will strive to remain true to himself or herself. Our hope is that without exception, every single student will make a determined effort to stay true to the people and the things which matter the most in life. To continuously strive to improve and become the best you can be. Stay true to your values. Stay true to your faith. Stay true to your family and all those who love you. Recently, my wife and I were in a banking hall in Nakuru. As we waited to collect some cash, we started chatting with the teller. My wife asked him how he could tell whether the 1,000 shilling banknote he was holding was real. He laughed and told us that now it is easy, the machine detects it for him. However, in case of a power outage or machine failure, he would know exactly what to do. In our day and age, we need to have real ways of knowing how to

proceed when the internet connection isn’t working, when we cannot rely on google for the quick fix answers. Would we know what to do? The bank teller told us that the secret within his training was to study the original so closely that he could establish all its features. When a fake showed up, he could distinguish it almost immediately. Now he had our full attention. We listened carefully as he enumerated the various watermarks and security features. Interestingly, three things stood out for me. One was that a three dimensional portrait of a lion’s head can be seen when the note is held up to the light. The second is that on the real banknote, the lion’s eyes are open. On a fake one, the lion’s eyes are not open. May I suggest to you that you are the authentic, the real deal. No one else can be you. Your true worth and your skills will come to light when you put yourself forward-apply for that job. Work on that project. Do something new which enriches you. Hold yourself to the light. Only then will you discover the watermark that is the quality and depth of character you possess. I exhort you to ensure that like the authentic banknote, you keep your eyes open like the lion’s eyes. Question your motives for doing anything. Establish that you actions are consistent with the standards which you have learnt and adhered to over time. The world needs you to be authentic. Be original. Within your authenticity lies your ticket to positively influence change the community. Class of 2016, wherever you will be in this world, the Turi community will be praying for you and cheering you along the way. God bless you.

10 Head Boy’s Speech

Head Boy Good morning ladies, gentlemen and fellow students of St Andrew’s. My dear colleagues from Tsavo we’re finally here, the Turi chapter is coming to a wonderful close and it has been absolutely amazing to experience it with all of you. I’ve been told that when I leave I will mostly be remembered for my weekly “facts” during assemblies and “my smile”. To be fair, the award for best smile in the school has to go to a Year 9 called Rolf Kihara. However if we are talking world standards, he comes a close second to any member of my family. There are so many ways of expressing happiness. Some people laugh and smile, others ironically, cry, but no matter how you express your happiness, the same thing happens to us on the inside. The more you St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

experience happiness, the more a feel good chemical called oxytocin is released. The same also applies, to when you think back to a time you were happy. Now I stand before you today to encourage you to adopt a happier lifestyle. Happiness is a choice. I believe that the only thing sadness brings is more sadness. Sadness is like an infection. If ignored, it can turn into something horrible. The best way to cure that infection is with the drug called happiness. That’s an original by yours truly.Everyone deserves to be happy. If any of you has a parent who has the “always serious face”? The type of facial expression which if you met them on the streets, you’d think a bird did a good one to their favourite shoes. Or you’d think that they won the lottery but lost the ticket while

Smile more, when you are down. Think about those times when you were happy, or go to that one person in your life that makes your day, every day because that is what I think makes life worth living

celebrating. My dad has that face. When he does put it on he looks 7 years older but when he smiles, which he does often, all I see is pure joy, pure happiness. I remember this one time, we went for family photos and it was really a nice day out. It was a clear case of pathetic fallacy. The sun was shining, clear blue sky, birds were out. When the photographer asked us to pose, my dad took the spotlight. I think he was really feeling like a model because he was making all sorts of outrageous poses. Smiles and laughter filled the room as the flashes kept going. I have never in my eighteen years laughed so hard or had such a great time at a photo shoot. It was one of the best days of my life. I believe everyone should experience pure and proper happiness, the way God intended it to be. Because He is loving and He wants us to be happy. I want to try something today. I’m going to be your doctor, prescribe to you a gentle dose of happiness. I want you all to just think, think back to a moment in your life when you were happy. Parents, think back to that moment you first held your son or daughter. Can you remember what you thought about

first when you looked at them? Students, think back to that time you were with your friends and the funniest thing ever happened. The next thing you knew you were on the floor laughing uncontrollably, to the point you were tearing up. Teachers, think back to the time one of your students excelled like never before or when you looked at your class and thought “this is a bright group of students”. Everyone close your eyes think back to that one day everything just went the way you wanted it to and you smiled, and said “this is a great day, it can’t get any better”. Just being in this school with these wonderful people makes me feel like that more often than not. Whether it is the explosive energy of the Year 9 and Year 10 students that makes my day or the intellectual conversations with Year 11s. Equally important, the memories and laughter I was blessed to have with the Year 12 and 13’s. These are the things about the school that make me happy. This is why I am able to say that the Turi chapter is coming to a great close. Thank you God for putting me in this wonderful school. Thank you Mum and Dad for always being there to

support me. Thank you Elizabeth for being the world’s greatest sister. Thank you to all my teachers for investing your time in me, I am proud to be a fruit of your labour. Thank you my fellow prefects for always putting 100 % in all that we did. Most importantly, thank you Turi for making me the person I am today. Smile more, when you are down. Think about those times when you were happy, or go to that one person in your life that makes your day, every day because that is what I think makes life worth living. Experiencing those moments which make you happy with the people who make you smile. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has been a privilege to serve as your Head Boy. God bless you. Phillip Amanya Head Boy

12 Head Girl’s Speech

Head Girl The eagle can live up to 70 years. But to reach this age, it must make a hard decision. The eagle must go through a painful process of transformation in its 40s if it wishes to survive. The process requires the eagle to fly to its nest where it knocks its beak against a rock until it plucks it out. It will then wait for a new and stronger beak to grow and then use it to pluck out its worn-out talons and old-aged feathers. After 5 months of recovery, the eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30 more years. If I gave you the choice to either suffer like the Eagle does to succeed or be like, let’s say… these ordinary cubes of ice. I’m sure that many of you would rise to the opportunity and soar. Well I’m sorry to break it to you but the wonderfully inspiring tale of the rebirth of the eagle is An Urban Legend. A lie. Eagles will St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

not lose their beak or talons unless it’s a result of traumatic injury. And thereafter it’s over! Without the talons and beak the bird would eventually die of starvation. Like all living things the eagle does not have the luxury of extending its lifespan. Yet so many of us are inspired by this lie. Why? Is it simply because we are conditioned from a very young age to believe that in order to succeed, we have to suffer? I’m sure a lot of the adults here can say that they have seen the pleasures of life and shared in its suffering. They can swear that the hard times are what defined them, what made them successful… But I am putting it to you today, that you were already strong. You already had IT in you. The only thing the suffering did was help you realise it. This thing… This IT is and has always been inside each and every one of us. We just haven’t

“

I can only hope that you as individuals will no longer cling to urban legends such as that of the Eagle because you… are all ice. That none of you will choose to wait for a time of suffering, to realise how great you already are

realised it yet. The Roman Catholic Church will canonize Mother Teresa this September. In her letters, she wrote many a time that “God was Silent”. Many of us can relate because we have begged and pleaded for God to take suffering away but He is silent. What if the reason He is silent is because He knows that you can overcome the hurt? The IT I was talking about, He’s the one that put it there. So yeah, He doesn’t swoop in to save the day every time you ask, because He needs you to realise exactly who and what you are. I think we are just like this ice. God has put us in the right conditions to melt, but all our doubts do is act as the same impurities you will find in water. Impurities make ice take a longer time to melt. Conversely, the more doubts you have, the longer it will take for IT to surface. Students of St.Andrew’s, how many times have you pleaded with your House Captain to drop out of a race, because you knew you were against someone like Sigar? How many times have you not bothered applying for a position because you ‘knew’ that somebody else would get it? How many have you subdued the urge

to throw yourself in the middle of the dance circle to Shoki, because someone like Fiyin is already killing it? Each one of you has what it takes to achieve what you are passionate about. You might not win the race against Sigar, but that is not the real competition. The real race is between the person you are today and the person you were yesterday. So run as fast as you can, do the best that you can and the closer you get to being the best you can be, the closer you get to IT. Now, I don’t stand before you claiming to have realised exactly how much power, exactly how much of IT I have inside me. To be honest, I struggle to believe in myself. I know that we’re supposed to take failure as an opportunity to improve, but I sometimes take it as a confirmation of my doubts. That I’m not good enough. And that IT isn’t really there, at least not in me. But I know I’m on the right track because I have this amazing person in my life. My mother believes in me more than anyone else. Way more than I believe in myself. I’ve always felt that I could wake up and say I want to undertake some outrageous profession and

she wouldn’t blink. She will do everything in her power to help me achieve what I’m passionate about. Parents, I applaud all of you who do the same thing and embrace your child’s dreams. I urge you all to never stop encouraging us. Be careful not to make school sound like a place of necessary torment, that we must withstand to succeed in life. This can only cultivate a negative attitude, towards a stage in our lives that we should love. Towards the very first place, that many of us are blessed enough, to even get a glimpse of our full potential. I can only hope that you as individuals, will no longer cling to urban legends such as that of the Eagle because you… are all ice. That none of you will choose to wait for a time of suffering, to realise how great you already are. The ice doesn’t need to undergo torture to become water, it already is water. We are water. We are already great. Cheers, to IT.

Andrew Barrat

Having spent three years teaching in the UK, I was looking for a new challenge and so in September 2015 decided to join St Andrew’s Senior School as a teacher of mathematics and further mathematics. Completing undergraduate studies at Exeter University, I quickly realised that explaining complex mathematical concepts in a clear and concise manner was hugely rewarding. As a result, instead of pursuing a career in mathematical research, I decided to become a mathematics teacher. Outside the classroom, I am a keen cyclist and surfer. Holidays are often spent looking for waves in different parts of the British Isles or cycling up (and down) mountains in Europe. As a committed Christian, St Andrew’s Senior School appealed to me and I am looking forward to getting involved in the work of the chaplaincy as well as demonstrating to students that maths can be fun.

Christopher Draper

I joined the school from Colchester Royal Grammar School, where I was a member of the Chemistry department. Prior to that, I had been Head of Chemistry and Head of Science, in two other English schools, Director of Learning at New Cairo British International School and Assistant Principal at The Alice Smith School, Kuala Lumpur. I returned to England in 2010, and with my wife Nerida spent our spare time over several years learning building skills and then constructing a major two story extension to our 200 year old English cottage. We were also jointly involved in supporting the youth work in local village churches and leading a monthly contemporary worship service, as their otherwise traditional parish Church. The building project completed, the we were ready for the next challenge and moved back into British International Education with a move to Turi in 2015, excited to know the plans that God had laid down ahead of us. Outside of teaching and building, I enjoy the rural outdoor lifestyle that both my old home in Suffolk and my new home in Turi offer and I look forward to exploring all that Kenya has to offer. We moved to Turi with our three children who all attend St Andrew’s School.

Christine Sealey

After teaching Psychology for many years in the UK, the opportunity arose for me to come and teach at St Andrew’s. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be teaching in Kenya. I had never been to Africa and I had never taught in a different country. It was a massive jump for me to leave the UK and come here on my own. Although I found the move very challenging, I have no regrets. What a privilege to be in Kenya and to teach students here at St Andrew’s. I have learnt so much this year and I am looking forward to all that my next year here will bring.

James Leverton

I was previously working in a comprehensive secondary school in Newcastle teaching Religious Studies. It was at this school that I met my lovely wife, tying the knot (finally) in May 2013. After six years working in Newcastle we decided a change was necessary – and a warmer climate – so we took the plunge and moved to St Andrews in August 2015. I teach Religious Studies and Sociology in the Senior School whilst Emma teaches French in the Prep School.

Jamie Scammells Having completed my degree in Engineering in the 1990s, my life took a bizarre tangent and I became a professional musician. This led to teaching instruments and finally training to teach Science. After several years of teaching in Senior schools near London, I came to Turi with my wife and two children as the Head of Science at the Preparatory School, I have since been called to teach at Senior School and have loved what Turi offers my family.

Gillian Mccullough

Teaching at St. Andrew’s Senior School appealed to me for many reasons: I was keen to teach in a challenging work environment, I wanted to see some of the beautiful sites in Kenya and I also looked forward to teaching in a Christian school. Before moving to Kenya, I had always lived in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Moving to Kenya has been a big lifestyle change, but I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I look forward to continuing to teach here.

Wayne Hackman I arrived at St Andrew’s School having spent 15 years pastoring in Youth and Children’s Ministry. Having ministered in both Baptist and Anglican context , my last post prior to St Andrew’s school was on the island of Bermuda working for a large Anglican parish. I have both graduate and post graduate qualifications in Applied Theology. I am joined at the School with my 7 year old daughter and my wife who is currently teaching at the Prep School.

Peter Keay

The most impressive thing about moving to Turi is the fantastic welcome we have been given by colleagues and students alike. Visually Africa is a visual feast for me and continues to inspire me as an Artist, from the bustling vibrant markets and street life to the majestic mountains and tranquil lakes and rivers, Africa has never failed to deliver. Kenya is no less inspiring and I feel very privileged to be here. My interest in Art began at an early age but blossomed in my teenage years when I moved to the Lake District .I could not get enough of the landscape and became a keen hiker and climber. I went to went to Art College when I was 18 and eventually, graduated from the Royal College of Art, where I specialised in manipulated textiles. When I graduated I had an interesting and busy freelance career in the fashion/ textile industry and interior design. However I have never lost my passion for landscape and still like to paint and draw the wonder places I visit. I was invited to be a visiting lecturer at a previous college I had attended. That is where I got my first taste of teaching and I found it very rewarding. I then decided to take it further and took a teacher training course. Initially I began teaching part time and working freelance. Eventually teaching took over and became a full time career; it is a career that I am as passionate about as I am about Art and Design.

I have been blessed in my 30 year teaching career, to work in some of the most famous schools in Kenya. From humble beginnings, I have seen my job and experience grow to very high levels. I could not resist the temptation when I was informed of a chance to teach at St Andrew’s. It is not only well known, it has a huge reputation that attracts some of the best brains to its faculty. I took the challenge and I am enjoying the task. The Christian aspect of the school is one thing I have longed for over the years. The students are ideal in many ways, as is the weather. I will endeavour to produce the best in every child in my care and hope that this will add value to the already rich Turi tradition. I am pleased to be a Turian.

I started to work as Head of Girls Sport at St Andrew’s Senior School at the beginning of this academic year. I had previously worked as a PE teacher for two years in Manchester. This was extremely rewarding and the students were very talented achieving national titles in a range of sports. Before moving to Kenya, I spent the year travelling the world which inspired me to want to teach abroad. When I returned to the UK, I applied for the job at St Andrew’s after hearing positive things from a friend who had previously been head girl at St Andrew’s. I am glad to have worked with such determined and passionate students and look forward to what next year has to offer.

Let he who is greatest amongst you be your servant” Matthew 23:11

St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

Turi Leadership Award (TLA) was started in 2013. It is designed to strengthen and develop the mission to build and mold the next generation of leaders of integrity and vision in East Africa and beyond. It is a rigorous two-year course undertaken by students in years’ twelve (12) and thirteen (13). The course is built upon the premise that great leaders are by nature self-reflective and so there are a number of selfevaluation and self-review activities.

of Understanding (MOU) on 22nd April 2013 after:

Memorandum of Understanding The two partner organizations, St Andrew’s School Turi and The Co-operative University College Of Kenya, entered into a Memorandum

The course has independent assessment points where students’ performance as leaders will are assessed against clear and challenging attainment criteria.

The partner university is tasked with assessing the dissertation and the final interview, while Bush Culture were on hand to assess the service

expedition. Service hours are logged onto service diaries each time students go out for community service while a panel comprising of staff and members of the senior management assess the school improvement plan where students are assessed on the merits of the idea and evidence of minutes where they must rotate the chair and secretary is assessed internally by a panel of staff from St Andrew’s.

*In addition to these time commitments, students will be performing in their day-today leadership roles around the school and regularly recording their reflections of their own performance and how it might be improved upon. The number of hours may vary each year depending on prevailing factors as may be agreed in the TLA Assessment Committee.

Headmaster’s Speech Day report

Headmaster’s Report Honoured Guest, Chair of the Governors, Fellow Governors, Director, Parents, Guardians, Relatives, Friends, Students and Staff – it is my pleasure to welcome you to our 28th Speech Day. It has become customary each year to begin my talk with a joke or a humorous anecdote. This is one I found on the internet and one for which I certainly cannot take credit. ‘The new firm.’ A young businessman had just started his own firm. He rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a man come into the

office reception. Wishing to appear the hot shot, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal in progress. He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, “Can I help you?” The man said, “Yeah, I’ve come to activate your phone lines.”Who do you want to impress? This is a message for Year 13 students, which I will revisit later. Before I expand on that message I would like to express my appreciation to numerous people: St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

30 Headmaster’s Speech Day report

firstly, to the Governors for their commitment to the School over the last year and to the parents for the way that you seek what is best for your child. I would also like to thank our teachers and administrative staff members. We are blessed to have diligent, motivated and caring professionals. They are an incredible team who I have the privilege of working with on a daily basis. I would now like to briefly review the academic year. There are so many outstanding aspects of Turi that we could look at but I will choose a few. Academic: It is my pleasure to report that last year’s Year 11 students gained an impressive set of exam results. Between them, they scored 137 A* grades and 195 A grades. 50% of all grades were either A* or A. Last year’s A2 students achieved our best results in History. 63% of all A2 grades were a B or better. At the Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards (Edexcel) – 2015 that was held in January 2016, Turi students won GCSE or IGCSE accolades. Our students achieved the highest marks in Africa for English Language, English Literature, French, Geography, Drama & History. At A level, they won the English Literature award. At the Cambridge International Exam Board ceremony, Turi students won IGCSE awards which included: • •

Highest in Kenya: for Sociology and at AS Level: Best in Kenya for Economics, Business Studies and History;

At A2 level: our students won Best in Kenya for History. As a School, we continue to make great strides with various academic achievements. Despite being a relatively new college, it has set itself apart from the rest. Our dedicated A Level student body has managed to make an indelible mark on many prestigious universities across the world. Over the last few years, Turi students have gained places in leading Russell Group universities in the United Kingdom; including Cambridge, London School of Economics, Warwick, Edinburgh, Durham, Nottingham, Leeds and Manchester along with other notable UK universities. In the United States students have gained entry into various Ivy League universities and other highly rated Colleges including: Yale, University of Pennsylvania, New York University & Stanford to mention a few. Students have also been accepted into a range of Canadian and European universities. Just recently, we celebrated the achievements of one of our students who completed a degree at Le Cordon Bleu in France, and has now gone on to work for the prestigious Ritz Carlton Hotel. Academic results are primarily what we are measured on as a school; it is one of the key reasons for parents selecting St Andrew’s for their children. But academic progress is not the only important thing for us as a School. The Christian ethos is at the very heart of the School. Students grow in their faith, their hearts change for the better and to see Christ working through them is a real privilege. Seeing students realise and attain their potential in whatever it might be is one of the reasons why education can be so rewarding.

St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

Sport: Our Sports teams have had an impressive performance over the course of this year. James Boak should be very proud of all that he has done as Director of Sport over the last year. I would like to mention notable achievements such as: • • • • • • •

•

1st position in the U19 and U15 Boys Braeburn Athletics Championships, 2nd position in the U19 Girls and 3rd position in the U15 Girls Braeburn Athletics Championships 1st overall at the Braeburn Athletics Championships. The U15 Girls Rounders team won the knockout tournament and finished 2nd in their league pool. Cross Country team: 2nd overall at the Turi Cross country. Football: U19 Boys team won 2nd place in the league. Basketball: U19 Girls finished 2nd place in their league pool, the U19 Boys finished 2nd place in their league pool and won the tournament. Hockey: U15 Girls came 2nd in their league pool and won the 7 a side tournament.

Arts:It is a real pleasure to walk into the Art Room and see the talent on display. Mrs. Sally Clarke and Mr. Peter Keay do a wonderful job in encouraging the artists in the School. Mr. Shane Porter and Mr. and Mrs. Mwashimba have worked hard with students to develop their musical strengths. We have had some wonderful recitals performed during term time, and especially during Viso. The Play, Whistle Down the Wind, directed by Miss Frances Burt, Mrs. Claire Scott and Mr.Shane Porter was a real celebration of the abilities our students have outside of the classroom. The Music tour to Japan organised by Mr. and Mrs. Mwashimba and team was a life changing event for so many; and a rich experience of culture and music. We are looking forward to many more such tours. Spiritual Life:The spiritual life of Turi is central to the School. I am very thankful to all the staff who assist with assemblies, chapels, Youth Alpha, the Christian Union and bible study groups. Mr. Wayne Hackman and Mr. Kenneth Ochola, are deeply committed to this area of the School and I would like to thank them for the committed and selfless service in this area. Service: Social responsibility is something that is important to us as a School. We want all our students to serve others outside of their direct community. All College students are expected to undertake at least two hours of service each week. Our students are involved in the Molo Street Children’s Project, Turi Childrens’ Project, Molo Hospital, teaching in Turi Sulgwita, Mianzini Primary School and in the Gakonyo Farm IDP camp. All students in Years 9 to 11 go off-site once every third week to work on literacy initiatives in the community. I am very grateful for the work undertaken by Miss Raichenah and Miss Mungai to make this happen.

Who are you going to impress when confronted with challenging situations? Who are you going to impress when your friends are looking? Who are you going to impress when your family is looking? Who are you going to impress when the unpopular are downtrodden? Who are you going to impress when no one is looking? I hope that you are going to impress others in the way that you serve and the way that you show your heart Extra-Curricular: East Africa Model United Nations is very popular in the School. It is fun way of learning and is excellent in developing leadership skills. Mr. Matthew Lee has done a great deal of work in making this a success. Mr. Fergus Whiteside has shown great passion in leading the President’s Award Scheme. This fits nicely into one of the Round Square ideals namely: Adventure. Enrich is an opportunity for our Gifted and Talented students to be extended. Mrs Nyariki goes beyond the call of duty to make this such a successful programme. The World Scholar’s Cup is another fantastic programme. We entered the competition for the first time this year. Again, Mrs Elizabeth Nyariki and her team extended our students, who received wonderful results. Round Square: We are first a Christian School and secondly a Round Square School. A RS school is characterised by a shared belief in an approach to education based on six IDEALS – Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership & Service. We have just been accepted as Global members. Earlier this year we had the privilege of experiencing two RS conferences – one in South Africa and one in Morocco. In February 2017, we are looking forward to hosting a regional conference. Leadership: Leadership is an integral part of what the Turi student is about. Today we have recognised those that have lead in a particular subject or sphere of the School. I would also like to say well done to each student for the part they play in this school regardless if they were recognised today or not. To the Year 13 students, This is your final Speech Day, your final year of schooling, your final year as a group together. While this message is relevant to all of us I would like to ask you, Year 13s, who do you want to

impress? You are about to go out into a world which is a lot less sheltered than Turi. You will have a chance to start anew where few will know what you have done in your previous 18 years. Who do you want to impress? I would like to challenge you with a verse from Matthew 20: 25-26 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant You have all gone through the TLA. Some have excelled at it. I would like to remind you that you are all leaders regardless of the position or title you have. A year from now, in whichever country you may be, I want to ask you who will you impress? You will, just like all of us, make mistakes in your journey. Who are you going to impress when confronted with challenging situations? Who are you going to impress when your friends are looking? Who are you going to impress when your family is looking? Who are you going to impress when the unpopular are downtrodden? Who are you going to impress when no one is looking? I hope that you are going to impress others in the way that you serve and the way that you show your heart. I hope that you are going to impress by the way in which you conduct yourself. In the way you build others up. Not in the amount of wealth or popularity you may amass or by the amount of power you may have. Lastly, I hope that you are going to impress God in the way that you treat everyone. He is always watching and He can always see our hearts. Ladies and gentleman, I impress on you to look to serve!

32 Speech Day

Guest of Honour Message A big congratulations to the winners, and to all those who will return next year, keep working at it, it’s never too late. It’s wonderful to see all you students, parents, staff and friends of the school celebrating the end of another year here at Turi. It is also great to see what progress has been made over the years at the School. A lot goes into the vision, the planning, the execution and to ensuring sustainability of the new heights the school is reaching. I must begin by thanking Turi for inviting me here today. I cannot tell enough of what a great honour it is to speak at this Speech Day, having been in the place many of you are now not too long ago I believe, or perhaps I’m dreaming, because looking back I it has been 11 years since I left Turi. I have had the opportunity to see St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

where some of the graduating class are headed next, everywhere from the UK, to the US, and for some you’re not sure yet. Irrespective of where you all go, you’re all in the same boat. You are all moving onto new opportunities, in new destinations. You are entering a new season, and not just in your schooling or professional development, but in your life journey. So, having been in your position some time ago and then having chartered the waters beyond school, what will I say to you? I could say many things, but I hope the few I will say will stay with you and ring true as you embark on this next stage of your life, a stage specked with grown-up decisions and freedom of choice, wide horizons and endless possibilities. It is true

“

As you steer your course, remember that you’re not on this journey alone. There are people along the way, who can help you, and also those that can be unhelpful

that you choose your own path, and I hope my sharing of own experiences will encourage you to do so, to find a passion for your chosen path, to work hard on that road, to endure the challenges while remembering the promise of rewards, and finally, to be grateful for it all. Amidst all the studying, you will also learn a lot about yourself. I have learnt a lot over the last 11 years, probably enough to fill many volumes of a series of “Life Lessons”, but one of the biggest lessons has been how to embrace growth. Growth can be described as “the act, or process or manner of growing” or “development from a simpler to a more complex stage”. Some growth I have to say doesn’t come difficult. An area of your work is challenging, and you quickly recognise how to improve it, how to do better, and you put that plan in action. However, some growth is painful. You will find yourself at many crossroads, where you have a choice which path to take. And you have to make a decision whether to grow the hard way, or not grow at all. You will be surprised, but you often do well when thrown in at the deep end. For me, I very recently found myself in one of those “deep end” situations! This was I started my current job at Strathmore Law School. Back in June of last year, I knew I was going into a new experience, but I could not have anticipated the number of dunks that have come in the past 11 months. While they have been scary and unknown, they have provided some of the best opportunities for growth for me, in both my professional life and my personal development. You will have periods of stagnation, where you feel things are not moving and no progress is being made. But it is at those points that you must endure, this is where the embracing comes in, where your tenacity is really tested. You know that moment say, in a sports match where you can either accept defeat or keep the pressure on and where an opening comes drive it home? Those testing periods are very much like that. You have to remind yourself to hang in

there. And say you do, imagine the harvest. Now if you don’t make it then, it’s never the end. You can always pick up and move forward. Students, around you are people who have endured the peaks and troughs of growth. From those studying at university, recent graduates, those like me who are still young in the workforce and still learning a lot about themselves and everything around them, those who are raising young families, and your own parents, who are with you today. All those groups have plenty that they can share with you. They have been there. Believe this, little of what you experience will be new. You can draw on their wisdom and knowledge about what is ahead, and also on their readiness to support you and nurture you to achieve everything that you can! As you steer your course, remember that you’re not on this journey alone. There are people along the way, who can help you, and also those that can be unhelpful. Here I want you to think, what kind of support system am I building? Who are the people along on the ride with you? Yes, there are those who have been with you so far, but beyond that, as you chart your path, think of your peers. What type of people would you like along on the ride with you? This is such an important aspect of you charting those waters. To keep the right people near you, you have to develop those relationships. You will go through immense growth with them and create such exciting memories together. I am honoured to have with me here today some of the people I have had along the ride with me. All were with me during the Turi days, and have continued to be with me since; these people have held the fort and we have seen each other through many growth stages. First, my sister, Elsie Mumbi Wangai. She has been one of my strongest supporters throughout this journey of life, always the optimistic and reminding me of the strength of hope. Thank you Mumbi for your everencouragement! Amidst this, she has been an example. She has achieved much, everything

from the amazing and interesting work she does in risk management at PWC to modelling. Second, my fellow classmate and dear friend, Sharon Kimingi. Following her creative heart, Sharon studied fashion design, and luxury management, and has now given her budding expertise in brand management to Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) and a regional jewellery designer. She is a great example of what young minds can do and of the spirit of dedication to your passion. Third, another fellow classmate and dear friend, Bryan Cuthbert. Bryan is making his mark in business, leading Doinyo Lessos Creameries based in Eldoret. He has also recently taken the ropes as Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) Uasin Gishu Chapter Chairman. For these people, their achievements and experiences are the elements of who they have become. They show that many different paths can be taken, and that you can choose your own. Also, as one of many in the same boat, what kind of supporter are you? Are you loyal, dependable, truthful, trustworthy? You can learn and grown from people who are like you just as much as people who are not like you. Finally, remember to feed your heart. You hear speak about passions, and following your dreams. This is a true indeed. Yes, your work may not satisfy your dreams but there are other areas of your life that can. Pursue those passions, don’t let them be stifled, because you need not die unto good desires. Maintain interests that fall outside of your chosen career or profession and seek new experiences every now and then. Life is what you make of it. All the best to you and I pray that you will come into the fullness of what your future has in store for you! Thank you! Miss Mukami Wangai Alumni, St Andrew’s Senior School Head Girl 2004 - 2005

Independent Learning Week

During the Independent Learning Week year 9 and 10 students welcomed year 8 students to Senior School to take part in Mathematics activities. Some of the activities included a Treasure Hunt, Monopoly deal, Magic Squares, World trade market and Code breaking. On the first day of the week Year 9 and 10 students assembled to plan the week as some of these activities required students to understand the strategy and logic required before they were able to instruct others. All the fun and activity began the day after when

St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

Year 8 groups were created to take part in the different tasks. “How many fingers would 50 people have ? “This was one of the questions asked in the treasure hand. If you think the answer is 250 not to worry you were not the only one. The thumb is not a finger and therefore the answer is 200. Do you agree?! Code breaking was another highlight as the Year 8 students got to understand the dynamics and patterns involved in breaking a code. In addition, the students enjoyed World

trade market and Monopoly deal, both of which required students to be able to negotiate, strategies and to a large extent incorporate team work. This was a good opportunity for students to be able to experience the dynamics involved in world markets where partnerships are developed, which eventually promote success, progress and growth. All in all it was a fun week that allowed students to interact, enjoy maths and demonstrate leadership.

UKMT Maths Challenge The UKMT Individual Maths Challenges are lively, intriguing question papers, designed to stimulate interest in maths. The competition attracts over 600,000 entries each year from over 4000 UK and international schools. On 4th February 2016, thirty seven students from Year 10 and 11 entered the Intermediate Maths Challenge. The paper contained 25 multiple choice questions, the first 15 were more accessible whilst the final 10 provided more food for thought. The first 15 questions covered topics such as prime numbers, fractions, exterior and interior angles, properties of quadrilaterals, simultaneous equations and ratio and proportion.

The top 40% of students internationally receive a gold, silver or bronze certificate in the ratio 1:2:3. Almost half of the St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Turi students that entered the competition were awarded a gold, silver and bronze certificate. As a school this is an excellent achievement and all those who were awarded a certificate should be immensely proud. In Year 11 the Best in Year and Best in School certificates were awarded to Temitope Sanni whilst in Year 10 the Best in Year certificate was awarded to George Nyangaya.

Questions 16 to 25 are significantly more challenging. Whereas the first 15 questions are worth five marks each, the final 10 questions are worth six marks. However, whilst the reward for answering questions 16 to 25 is large, there is a consequence; if these questions are answered incorrectly: one mark is deducted for questions 16 to 20 and two marks are deducted for questions 21 to 25! The students that attempted questions 16 to 25 were required to creatively synthesise their mathematical knowledge to solve non-routine problems.

Of those who achieve a gold certificate, 5,500 pupils are invited to sit the Pink Kangaroo European paper. This is completed by the best students from British Curriculum Schools and by outstanding students from 50 countries. It is a massive achievement to be selected for the Pink Kangaroo and the Maths department were extremely pleased that Temitope Sanni was selected to compete in this competition. Unfortunately Temitope was not within the top 25% of students in the Pink Kangaroo and was awarded a certificate of participation instead of a certificate of merit.

Monty all Problem Coloured Socks Puzzle

You are getting dressed in the dark and relise that you forgot to bind all your sock together into pairs. Howebwer there are exactly 10 pairs of white socks and 1o pairs of black socks in your draw. All the socks are exactly the same except for their colour. How many socks do you need to take with you to ensure you have at least a pair that match. Puzzle via the Guardian

Can you prove that angle C is the sum of angles A and B?

St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

You are on a game show and have to pick a door to see what prize you will win. You are given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car, behind the other two doors are goats. You pick a door at random, say No. 1, and the host (who knows what’s behind the doors) opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, “Do you want to pick door No. 2 or stick with door No.1?” Is it to your advantage to switch your choice? Monty Hall Solution: It is to your advantage to swap to door No.2. You are twice as likely to win if you swap. The reason is not immediately obvious and many do not believe it. The probability that you picked the car initially is 1/3. The chance that the car was actually behind doors 2 or 3 is 2/3. When the host shows you the content of one of those two, the 2/3 probability transfers to door number 2. Hence you are twice as likely to win by changing.

English Report ‘…And the Top Student in East Africa: GCE A level English Literature is… Paulette Mbeya The Top Student in East Africa: International GCSE English Language is… Hyde Tareemwa The Top Student in East Africa: International GCSE English Literature is…Eric Kibogo.’ These results were released by Edexcel during the Christmas term this year. Many congratulations to these St. Andrew’s students, all of whom we are exceptionally proud of. However, not only these named individuals, but the entire Year 11 year group, as well as our Year 12 and Year 13 Literature students last academic year must be congratulated on their successes. Moving on to the current academic year, another impressive set of results was achieved by our current Year 11 students, who achieved an outstanding 67% A*and A grades in the January examinations for International GCSE English Language. The overall total of B grades and above was 91% and the pass rate of C and above for the 68 students who entered was 100%. As you can imagine, the students and staff were delighted to receive these well-earned results in March this year, and an outdoor celebration party with chocolate cake cut by the highest achieving student (Temitope Sanni) was enjoyed by all (see photos). Interestingly, this year’s results were even higher than those of 2014/15, where 46% of our International GCSE English Language students achieved A and A* grades. We were extremely pleased with those students and are encouraged to see our results continuing to improve even further. As is clear from the results and accolades above, this has been another extremely positive year for the English Department and our students. We continue to enjoy our wonderful setting in which to teach and learn. Many lessons involve use of our lovely outdoor grounds and facilities, where our students from all year groups can take part in discussion groups and study groups, as well as create interpretations of their set texts and perform and share their own work.

St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

Our Year 10 students have had a positive year, covering the course content for their entire IGCSE English Language course, and two thirds of their English Literature course. Having achieved this, they are now ready to develop the required skills in reading, writing and interpretation even further during the coming term. They will be taking part in a significant holiday project challenge, with a creative holiday task designed to ensure that they keep their knowledge and understanding honed, and we look forward to sharing their presentations as they return in September. Thank you to the parents and guardians for your support as this, we sincerely hope, becomes an enjoyable and rewarding part of your son or daughter’s holiday. Once again, the regular visit to our local mitumba market at the start of the year provided an important opportunity to develop writing skills to inform, explain and describe, and some excellent journalistic work resulted. (see examples included in the magazine.) Our Year 9 students have also had a good year, with the foundations for IGCSE being laid as they have studied Dickens and Shakespeare, as well as developing a range of writing styles associated with our exciting unit of work on the Titanic. (Some writing examples included.) As far as our A level students are concerned, this has been a challenging year for the Year 12 students as they have studied the first year of the new specification AS/A level course. Set texts have been A Streetcar Named Desire, The Color Purple and Great Expectations. They have also enjoyed exploring a fascinating selection of contemporary poetry from the ‘Forward Book of Poetry’ Anthology of the Decade. Interestingly, under the new A level system, the AS examinations just taken by the current Year 12 students do not contribute to their final result for those continuing into their second year. The papers will, in this case, provide an assessment of where they are in terms of grades currently, and will help them in the revision of their whole course next year.

Our final group of Year 13s studying the legacy specification have worked well, particularly in terms of dealing with the challenges of the coursework requirement. They have benefitted from the wonderful opportunity to select their own texts for coursework analysis, and have therefore been able to explore particular areas of personal literary interest. They have enjoyed the challenges of the set texts, and we are grateful to Mrs. Andwati for her dedication and commitment to teaching this particular group. We wish them all well as they continue their studies at degree level. In terms of staffing, the English Department continues to flourish as a team. We have been delighted to welcome Miss Gillian McCullough from Northern Ireland as a new teacher to our faculty, and have all thoroughly enjoyed working with her this year. She joins Mrs. Sally Andwati, Mrs. Elizabeth Nyariki, Mrs. Claire Scott, Mrs. Sarah Aston and myself and we have enjoyed the energy and enthusiasm that she brings to all aspects of her work. We look forward to a year of continuing to develop and strengthen our department, sharing a whole range of experiences, skills and interests and making the most of combining the strengths of each member of the team. So, to conclude, many thanks to the parents and guardians who support our students in their studies; to our excellent team of English teachers, and particularly to our wonderful, hardworking students, who we encourage to develop as independent learners in order to achieve everything they are capable of achieving as they ‘reach for the stars’. With very best wishes to all readers from the English Department at Turi. Mrs. Susan Eames Head of Faculty

Mtumba unmasked Stepping out of the bus, I was immediately slapped in the face by the pungent smell of urine. The rancid stench of rotting fish hung over everything. As a cool breeze blew, posters were being crucified on old brick walls. Any writings on the wall had now disappeared, leaving behind scratches of colour. However, I was a tad bit surprised about how quiet it was. Knowing Mtumba (a market of endless second hand clothes), it should have been filled with deafening chaos and impetuous armies of sellers ready to sell their goods. Little did I know that the market was round the corner and a madhouse awaited. Excitedly, my English teacher directed us to the market. As I scanned the market, I noticed several wagons embellished with delectable vegetables and luscious looking fruits. I licked my lips in frustration as I knew I would not have the opportunity to taste any of them. The vibrant colours of the fruits brightened the congested paths. Some apples, however, looked like they had just come from a violent war as they were badly bruised. Not even I would buy them!

“Come along!” yelled one of my group mates. I was so struck with all that was going on around me that I almost forgot about how nervous I was. As soon as my grouped walked into a clothing store we were greeted by a man who smiled from ear to ear, exposing his pearl white teeth. He had a warm infectious smile. As he told me the price of a shirt, his back straightened as his chest protruded with pride. After bargaining, I bought a shirt for charity. I felt humbled to be privileged enough to help a child in need. I fathomed that the things I did for myself would remain with me, but the things I did for others would become immortal. Because of the yelling of enthusiastic salesmen, it was so loud that it felt like all the sounds in the world had re-united. In the midst of all this chaos, I felt a tap on my back. A ravaged old woman with a pale, tear stained face stood before me. In this market, beggars moved around like ghosts. After all, this was not only their place of work, but their home too. Her chapped lips trembled as she said to me in a croaky voice, “Please m..m..may I have your water?” Feelings of empathy rushed through

me. Pangs of sadness filled my heart as I saw tears roll down her cheeks. I gladly gave her my water. “Really?” she asked, in shock. Slightly confused, I nodded my head. She explained to me that normally she would get a nasty glare and a rude sneer after asking for help. Contrary to the disgust she assumed I felt, I dwelled on the cruelty of the world we live in. I flashed a quick smile at the woman as I began to walk away. At about noon, when the heat of the sun was at its peak, we were instructed to head back to the buses. On the way back to school, I reflected on my life - this was a true eye opener! I realised that the salesmen had figured out the secret to happiness… being appreciative of the things you have - no matter how little they are. To me, Mtumba may have just been a market but to the salesmen, it was their whole world Moraa Okora

Geography We have been delighted to welcome Ms Sue Hobkinson to strengthen the department this year. She has been a tremendous support in both the classroom and the field. She helped initiate our first visit to Timsales wood mill at Elburgon curtesy of the Krunal family where we saw (!), heard and learnt about the production of plywood, hard and soft boards. After a gap of 10 years we revived a visit to Homa lime at Koru. Interestingly, Homa lime manufacture the lime from a volcanic limestone (as opposed to sedimentary) but have diversified into the production of jaggery (very yummy!) and other agricultural activities – the pigs were a particular favourite. One of the highlights of the year must surely have been another first which was a trip to Olderikesi on the edge of the Masai Mara national reserve kindly organised for us by Mr. Andrew Nightingale through his friends

at Cotters’ Camp. Here we learnt about the sustainable management of the Savanna from different Maasai speakers, swam in the Sand river and saw a group of lions about to go off on a hunt at dusk. As usual we have visited Kakamega rain forest, the Malewa river, Nakuru town, James Finlay at Kericho and the Baringo district with different year groups as well as conducting local investigations in the environs closer to the school. Not only do our field trips help students to answer questions in the examinations with authenticity but parts of Kenya otherwise unvisited are opened up to enrich the student’s world view.

History The History department continues to enjoy huge successes at all levels with outstanding AS and A level June 2015 results which amazed; 100% pass with A* to A grades at A level and 100 % A – B at AS level. The top students in East Africa in both AS and A level history were from St Andrews’ School; huge congratulation are in order for the amazing achievements of Hazel Nyang’aya at AS level and Shiiro Mungai at A level. At IGCSE level, 91% achieved an A to B grade. These results would not have been possible without the incredible hard work of both the staff and the students in the department. My appreciation goes to Mr. Jonathan Andwati for his professionalism and support throughout the year. Next year in conjunction with Modern Foreign Languages, we are organising a trip to Berlin which is designed to enhance the learning

experience of students. We will be able to visit such areas the Berlin Wall and Concentration camps bringing History lessons on the Cold and the Holocaust alive for students. Students comments AS History this year has been an eye-opening experience for us. Having done History at IGCSE level, We can safely say that the jump from GCSE to AS level history is not an easy one and it is one that requires focus, commitment and a sincere desire to succeed.

Religious Studies The Religiou studies department started the year on a high with the GCSE results. Mrs. Esther Youlten’s class achieving 100% A* and A was phenomenal and a credit to a teacher who stepped in halfway through the academic year. The introduction of a real philosophy teacher, Mr. James Leverton, has given me some much needed advise and counsel and has even agreed to take over the realm as Head of Religious Studies from September 2016, providing the students with a vibrant and approachable Head of Department and allowing me to move into my career as Turi football coach. The students have been brilliant all year with a particular mention to Petra Kuria and Precious Seronga who provided the closest competition for “best philosopher in Year 11” since Emmanuel Kant and Rene Descartes fought it out in the Enlightenment Period.

The Science Faculty has had another excellent year with an expectation of some great IGCSE and A Level results this August. It has been an eventful and busy year; however, as we draw to a close of this academic year I would like to highlight some exciting developments. We are also pleased to announce the appointment of a new Head of Physics for the start of the new academic year in September 2016. Mr Jamie Scammells, who joined the school in September 2015 as the Head of Science in the prep school, comes with an impressive background of

high achievement in the results of his A Level Physics students. He spent 6 years teaching Science and A Level Physics in Chelmsford, UK before moving to Kenya. As we look forward to the next academic year, we enter it feeling confident that next year we will be breaking records in terms of academic success in the exams! Mr. Guy Lynton Head of Science

As a result, the quantity and quality of the practical side of science has increased, which is a crucial part of science. A highlight for the Year 12 Biology students was to dissect a set of lungs complete with trachea and heart still attached!

Social Studies Report How time flies and I am once again reporting on the exploits of the Faculty. In the Sociology Department, Mr. Matthew Garton and our new member of staff, Mr. James Leverton, proved to be a perfect fusion of much needed intoxicating energy and drive to the delivery of the subject. By far the most entertaining and fun class to be in at the Senior School, students greatly benefitted from the outstanding teaching methods adopted by the pair. In the Psychology Department, we welcomed the new Head of Department, the very experienced Ms. Christine Sealey. She brought her commitment and passion for the subject with her and with Miss Terry Raichenah to work alongside, the students in depth understanding

of human behaviour has greatly improved. Next year, will herald the introduction of IGCSE Psychology. In the Business and Economics departments, the team of Mr. Patrick Njoroge, Mr. Joel Holliday and I continued to raise the bar higher and higher with each successive academic year. Our highlight for the year was the amazing double that Janelle Muchai achieved, by attaining the “Top in Kenya award” for both AS Business and AS Economics. Total commitment of the team, to ensue every student was stretched to achieve their full potential, enabled us to rival the Humanities Department in term of results. Watch this space next year when IGCSE Economics is introduced. In line with this and as part of our strategy

towards effective teaching and learning, this year, a greater number of our activities were geared towards strengthening the link between business theory and actual industry practice. We took students out on several learning tours and invited guest speakers to deliver on various topical issues. We participated in the annual Rusinga School Business Economics symposium and this year we were unanimously the eventual winners, with Hazel Nyang’aya being voted the “Best Speaker”.

Mr. Christopher Otieno Head of Social Studies, Business & Economics

Sociology Sociology welcomes a new teacher Mr. James Leverton who brings a wealth of teaching and leadership experience from the cold, bleak, North of England. The subject continues to grow and this year saw an increase in classes at GCSE and A-Level. The results from 2015 were pleasing with Karen Wandia’s ‘Best in Kenya’ crown the clear highlight. Lorraine Awori must be heavily praised for showing student leadership and effectively running the department and with 36 students taking an examination this year. Let’s hope the results can match the previous year’s.

Mr. Matthew Garton Head of Sociology

Psychology Psychology is the `scientific study of human behaviour`. So if you are interested in how people `tick` the journey starts here. 2015 was the introduction of the new Edexcel specification which contains much more science that the previous one. Freud`s fascinating insights have diminished and students are required to do more mathematics in the exam. The topics covered in the first year include: Social Psychology where students study obedience and prejudice; Cognitive Psychology where we look at theories of memory; Biological Psychology where we study aspects of the brain in relation to aggression; and the Learning approach where students study environmental influences on aggression. The second year is more applied and students study abnormal behaviour in Clinical Psychology; Criminal Psychology and the skills involved in the scientific research of human behaviour.

We had another busy year as we introduced our very first MFL week, which involved several activities, such as cookery lessons. The week was crowned with our annual inter-house MFL event in October 2015. In December, we went on our annual walk to Turi village to sing Silent

Night in seven languages. In January 2016, we hosted another productive MFL INSET with language colleagues from other schools across Kenya and in February, the Spanish Department ran another successful Spanish day. This year, Swahili IGCSE was introduced for native speakers. The club is also open to nonnative students who join the sessions for fun. Our MFL cinema club continues to be very popular and so is our language clinic, which supports students who need extra help in French, German and Spanish.

The MFL team.

MFL week St Andrew’s first Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) week took place during the Christmas term and it goes without saying that it was a huge success! MFL students in all years participated in a number of events over the week, thoroughly enjoying the experience. The event kicked off with a Monday morning assembly hosted by the Year 12 French and Spanish students. During the occasion, we were treated to a number of performances by students in the three MFL languages: Spanish, French and German. In addition, the Year 12 students organised a video showcasing Turi’s language diversity; over 15 languages were presented. Later on in their lessons, students had the opportunity to watch a number of different films with popcorn, made especially for the occasion. This allowed us the chance to engage in our MFL classes and gain some practical, first-hand experience of what it is like listening to and speaking a foreign language.

By far the most contentious and competitive part of the week was the Treasure Hunt. Students were seen sprinting from classroom to classroom, guarding their answers fiercely and even climbing trees to find the clues. Liza Okuthe of Year 13 won the much coveted prize of a Paris-Saint-Germain (PSG) football. College students were able to take part in cookery classes, especially designed to introduce archetypal cuisine from countries across the world. Madame Consul’s students made a delicious mousse au chocolat and Señorita Kuria’s students made tortilla. In addition, they had the chance to teach Spanish and French to a number of students in Years 5 and 6 in the Prep School. As part of their time at the Prep School, the French students interviewed Mrs. Tamsyn Llewellyn and Mrs. Emma Leverton in French. The Spanish students interviewed our very own Spanish teachers: Señorita Patricia Kuria and Señor Sam Maloba.

The week concluded with the fantastic interhouse MFL competition. Participants from all three houses took part and entertained the guests with song, dance, drama and poetry in French, Spanish, German and Kiswahili. Athi house emerged the eventual winners, putting on an excellent show in the process. We are looking forward to the next MFL week with excitement and, on behalf of all the students, I would like to thank the MFL team for putting together such a memorable event!

Spanish day El Viernes 26 de febrero, los estudiantes españoles celebraron el día de español. Estábamos tan emocionados de ver estudiantes de otras escuelas y también obtener más información acerca de España. El día comenzó a las 11:30 de la mañana. Escuchamos música española mientras esperando la llegada de otras escuelas. Mi canción favorita fue ‘Baliando’ por Enrique Iglesias. La señorita kuria fue nuestra anfitriona maravillosa a quién comenzó presentando a nuestros visitantes. Nuestro invitado de honor era Rocio un nativo español que habló con mucha pasión de su país. Después del almuerzo hicimos un montón de actividades. Terminamos el día escuchando una canción maravillosa de una señora de Argentina incluso presentaciones de otras escuelas. Julianne Makundi Los estudiantes del año 9, 10 y 11 tuve la oportunidad de asistir al evento del día español, St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

que se celebró en nuestra escuela. Aunque el evento fue bastante breve, pudimos interactuar mucho con otros estudiantes haciendo que el evento fuera interactivo y agradable. Lo bueno es que tuvimos invitados especiales en el evento- Rocio de España e Inez de Argentinaes también la presidenta de ‘Spanish Speaking Association’ en Kenia. Xavio Nthenge El día de español fue muy divertido. La comida fue fantastica, porque disfrutamos de la comida autentica de Espana. Me gustó el flan y arroz que era muy rica. Aprendí mucho de la cultura Española. Wanjiku Kahara Brook house, Greenstedes y Premier academy se unieron con nosotros para aprender más sobre España. Al comienzo del día, Rocio habló de su país, España. Ella habló de sus equipos de fútbol, Real Madrid, Barcelona y Atlético Madrid. También habló sobre los alimentos

que consumen y los diferentes climas de todo el país. Más tarde, nos dividieron en grupos de treinta alumnos y fuimos a nuestras aulas asignadas. En nuestros grupos, jugamos un juego llamado “Speed Dating”, que nos dio una oportunidad de practicar la parte oral de la lengua. Fred Mamicha Para mi fue una ocasion de vincular con mis compañeros de de otras escuelas. Espero que tengamos más oportunidades como esta y que invitemos más gente el próximo año. Michella Makoko Aprendí mucho sobre la cultura española por ejemplo lo que les gusta comer incluso sus deportes más populares. En general fue un dia fantastico . Gracias a la señorita Kuria por organizar este día. Nicole Jean-Louis

Swahili Beginners This is what beginners class had to say……. Jambo, Jina langu ni Maria. Ninatoka Uganda. Nina miaka 13. It has been wonderful learning Swahili because it is such an interesting language and it is spoken across East Africa. I chose to learn it because I have always wanted to learn a language that is close to home. Hopefully by the end of this year I will be able to understand most of it. Maria Etian’g Year 9 Habari gani. Jina langu ni Murewa Fagun. Ninatoka Nigeria. Nina miaka 14. It has been a wonderful experience learning Swahili. I wanted to learn Swahili because I knew I had the linguistic abilities to learn

another language. I was motivated to learn because my parents wanted me to learn another language and the idea of learning Swahili came up. My parents wanted me to learn it because I cannot be in a school in Kenya and not understand the language spoken in Kenya. I also wanted to learn Swahili because it is the second most spoken language on the African continent. I have achieved quite a lot so far because now I can introduce myself in Swahili and I have learnt colours, members of the family, different types of food, greeting and describing clothing. Murewa Fagun Year 9

Tiger Orchid by Kylian Molenaar

Art Department This year we have welcomed Mr. Peter Keay to the department and he has brought with him great expertise in the Applied Arts, Photoshop and Fine Art. Year 11, 12 and 13 had the opportunity to visit Nairobi arts scene this year; visiting the Kuona Trust Arts Centre, the GoDown Arts Centre and Kitengella Glass workshop. At the GoDown Arts Centre the students saw an eclectic mix of artists and graphic designers at work, dance rehearsals and puppet studios producing latex figures for the film and television industry. All of this inspiration helped the students develop ideas for their

personal projects and collect evidence for their coursework portfolios. The Year 13â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had the opportunity to interview the artists for their thesis which was an enlightening insight into the world of commercial art and the huge potential for artists to earn a living from creativity. The Year 13 Art and Design students have the exciting prospect of going onto UK universities with some choosing Graphic Design at Loughborough University, Interior Design at Leeds University and Art Foundations in Edinburgh.

Two Year 10 students Kylian Molenaar and Ryan Kinuthia, entered the Kenyan Orchid Society schools art competition, creating beautiful canvases for the event which were exhibited in the Sarit Centre, Nairobi. Congratulations to Kylian who won second place in this National Competition.

Japan Music Tour

78 Creatives Faculty

Japan Music Tour 20th March to 2nd April 2016 34 students from Year 9 and 10 visited Japan this Easter holiday. The tour involved 6 shows; some of in churches, and a joint concert with Japanese students in a grand concert hall which could accommodate 1,000 people. We also represented Kenya in the annual ‘African Festival’ in Yokohama, and later a national Japanese radio program interviewed us. Our performance was broadcasted live by one of the major TV stations as well. The children toured inside one of the greatest music concert halls in the world, visited shrines and temples and amusement parks. The group

also interacted with high school students in Japan. They were exposed to cultural experiences like food, language, and public transport. They travelled by train everyday and learned to get around on their own. As future leaders of Africa, the students also benefited from experiencing one of the world’s most developed countries first hand. A number of students mentioned that they would like to visit Japan again and learn more about its culture and people. One particular student is even determined to pursue his career in performing arts and he would like to study in

Japan. It has been an exceptional tour where students’ lives were transformed. They grew so much in two weeks, in terms of responsibility and cultural awareness, as well as musicianship. The next tour is proposed in the Easter holiday of 2018, and we highly recommend music students to participate.

LAMDA Report Having engaged many LAMDA experts in discussion, it is very apparent what role speech and communication plays in our lives, irrespective of the career path or preference. It helps build the much needed skills that give greater prominence to one’s career and/ or personality. It is the guide to making the first good impression, with tools on how to sustain engagement thereafter. It is with this purpose therefore that we set each learner on a journey of discovery: to seek meaning and interpretation, then convey it with clarity and conviction. We believe that each learner gets to understand how preparation and delivery work hand-in-hand to give a passionate and well informed outlook. It is agreed that it is how we

St Andrew’s Turi, 2016 | Senior School Year Book

‘act’ or ‘perform’ in our various situations that we are ultimately judged. The 2015 LAMDA exam session produced impressive results- 92% of learners passed with a Merit or Distinction; 100% passes. This was achieved through a well-motivated team of staff and intentional preparation on the part of students. We sadly said goodbye to Mrs. Anna Northam last year and welcomed Mr. Newton Kweya this year to our LAMDA team of staff. We are excited about the growth of LAMDA in the school and hope for great achievements for each participant. Mr. Victor Imbuye Head of LAMDA

Report

Head of Careers There is an old Swahili saying, ‘Kuishi kwingi, kuona mengi’- which loosely translated means, the more you live the, more you see. With the passage of time, I have had the privilege of witnessing the establishment of the College, the opening of Tsavo House and interacting with Sixth Form cohorts. Six years. Each year I have interacted with groups of amazingly talented and focused individuals. The Class of 2016 has been slightly different. I have not come across a group of young men and women who have shared such a tight camaraderie- it has been inspiring! Ever since they moved into Tsavo House, the year group worked as a team; they played as a team; they existed as one team. The School elected 12 prefects from amongst this group. However, I witnessed many silent (and a few very loud!) leaders at work in Tsavo House. Each student had an aspect of leadership that came forth when need arose. That impressed me about this Class. Working with these young men and women in making applications to universities was a pleasure. The process also included our annual visit to UK universities in October during our, ‘Town and Gown Tour’. The culmination of these events was when they received conditional offers to their first choices. This year we have broken some records- we applied to and received unconditional offers

to the University of Pennsylvania; another two unconditional offers to attend New York University (NYU). Over 20 students received conditional offers to Russell Group universities, notably Nottingham (6 students) and Manchester (6 students) and a vast majority of the group with conditional offers to many notable universities across the UK. The number of students headed to top Canadian universities was stronger than ever with students headed to University of British Columbia Carleton, Toronto and Calgary among others. One remarkable feature of the students in this cohort was their willingness to explore various university options in different countries with many students ending up in the enviable position where they could effectively choose between a numbers of equally good university offers in different countries. Another endearing character trait of the Class of 2016 has been their vitality. These students have not shied away from pursuing university degree choices and career paths which reflect the dynamics of our rapidly changing world. In September 2014, at the onset of the last academic year, I presented a PowerPoint slide to the class. It was called, ‘Shift Happens’. In a nutshell it highlighted the need for students to embrace their evolving societies and using their education and their talents, they were to translate themselves into paradigm shifters.

I have the smile of a mother who can proudly point to their son or daughter and say, ‘Yep! They got it!’ The Class of 2016 got it. They got the fact that their world needs pioneers and not just followers; that they need to venture into careers that will make a difference to their world- a constantly changing world. There is ample evidence from their time at St Andrew’s College to trust in their ability to pursue the career options which will inevitably open doors for them. I have no doubt that these students will not only be reasonable but also flexible enough to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the global marketplace. The Class of 2016 got it. They will be out in the world pursing a wide and exciting range of degree courses including, music and production, interior design, artificial intelligence, graphic designs, politics and social sciences, economics, business and management among others. I am excited to see where each of their chosen paths will lead them. The Class of 2016 will undoubtedly make a difference. The Lord has promised to go before them; what can stand against them?

80 School Production

Whistle down the wind St Andrew’s Senior School began rehearsing for their production of Whistle Down the Wind from the start of Christmas term. The production was successfully performed at the first Viso of Easter term, with participation from students in all year groups. Earlier in the year, audiences also had the opportunity to watch the fantastic devised piece, Death of One’s Self, with performers from years 10 to 13 and then in Trinity term we saw five excellent exam shows from the year 11 students and a production of Agnes of God performed by our talented AS group. As well as our main productions, Drama and LAMDA students and members of the drama club have participated in showcases, Prep school performances and Christmas and Easter chapel performances, sharing their communication skills and enthusiasm

with others. We had student representatives performing in the National Kenyan Youth Theatre’s production of Kesho Amahoro and led a visit to the Braeburn theatre Pantomime. We also had St Andrew’s achievers in the Edexcel exam board’s top in Africa awards for GCSE Drama and A level Drama and Theatre Studies. To finish the year, the English and Drama departments joined forces to introduce the global Shakespeare film competition in Independent Learning Week, in which we presented outdoor scenes from Macbeth, to be continued in rehearsal for the competition in the Christmas term.

Chaplaincy Report

Youth Alpha - This year we saw a number of students come to Youth Alpha. We continued with student led small groups and sessions. It was a real pleasure to witness young people draw much closer in their relationships with Jesus. The highlight of the course was a weekend away at Kembu Campsite, where we had inspirational talks from a number of members of staff and felt the Holy Spirit touch and transform lives. Christian Union - We had the pleasure of inviting a number of visiting churches to St Andrew’s over the year. The visiting churches always bringing a unique flavor to our CU events and often inspiring thoughts and encouragement. One of the highlights of the year was the CU committee sitting in the lounge of Mr. Wayne Hackman’s house laughing, singing and praying with one of the visiting churches from Nairobi. Nights of Prayer - During the course of the academic year the senior school witnessed

two very powerful nights of prayer. At both events the Chaplaincy were encouraged to see students choose to pray in a variety of different and meaningful ways. Each evening had its own creative flavors from painting names of God on large canvases to lighting candles at the foot of the cross. Star gazing on top field was, a cold but, an inspiring experience looking into the heavens and marveling at God’s creation. Confirmation - Its always a pleasure to see students take leaps in their faith journey. This year the Bishop of Nakuru came to the School and confirmed 12 students from the Senior School. It was a powerful experience seeing the Prep School Chapel filled with friends and family whilst witnessing each of the students taking personal responsibility for their own walk with Jesus Christ.

Director of Sport It has been a pleasure to be Director of Sport at St Andrew’s this year and to share a small part of our students’ sporting successes has been fantastic. There have been many highlights throughout the year which really reminded me why we love sport so much. The Christmas term is an extremely busy sporting term, with students often training and competing over two or three sports. Notable successes were the U19 boys’ football team reaching the final of the Martin Bentley tournament at Greensteds, and the U19 girls’ basketball team reaching the semi-final of the league championships. Our first silverware of the season came from the cross-country team finishing second overall at the national championships. To top the season off, the U15 girls proved once again why they are such a strong cohort by taking home the league championship trophy for rounders, beating arch rivals Peponi in the process. Undoubtedly the highlight of the first term for me was the Braeburn Kasarani athletics championships. The Turi team absolutely dominated proceedings, and the team spirit on the day was incredible. A real testament to the students of St. Andrew’s. The U15 and U19 boys both won their respective categories, with 2nd and 3rd places for the U15 girls and U19 girls, giving

us the overall victory by a huge margin. Truly a period to be remembered. The Easter term brought with it yet more trophies. The U15 girls hockey team stormed to victory on home turf at the 7-a-side hockey championships, and the U15 boys reached the final of their equivalent tournament, showing what they could achieve when they really put their minds to it. An afternoon I will never forget is having the privilege of watching the U19 boys’ basketball team bring home the national league championship title in a final they executed with the ruthless precision of seasoned winners. Their victory was all the more remarkable because it upset the traditional power balance in the league as they beat all the American schools on their road to victory. The trinity term sports were in full swing, with the extremely strong U15 boys’ rugby and U15 girls’ netball teams bringing home the title in the annual Turi sevens tournament. We at St Andrew’s have once again hosted several major tournaments and events over the year, including the cross-country championships, Turi Sevens, as well as tournaments for hockey and cricket. These events really show off Turi at it’s best and provide a great day out for everyone involved. Inter-house sport has grown in strength this

year, with the introduction of a dedicated interhouse week at the end of each term. The high point was the inter-house sports day, watched by a large crowd of parents and friends. Tana are sitting at a commanding position at the top of the table! Can Athi and Kerio challenge them next year? As Director of Sport, I am heavily indebted to the efforts of many people throughout the year. I am very lucky to have a brilliant coaching team who provide outstanding leadership for their teams, without always being recognised for the countless hours they put in. Secondly, without the support of parents we wouldn’t be able to compete with the level of success that we enjoy year after year. Finally, the student athletes themselves are what make Turi sport great. This year it has been amazing to watch so many young people step up and produce outstanding performances and demonstrate maturity beyond their years. St Andrew’s is without doubt one of the top sporting schools in Kenya, and I look forward to hearing about your continued success in the years to come!
