Victory Valour

In Kenya, Action & Adventure is everywhere; there is an untold wealth of outdoor activities to pursue & an obligation to commit to the challenges posed by our environment. rough the President’s Award scheme (PA), the Year 9 Convocations, subject speci c trips & the Peponi School Expeditions Society (PESTs) our pupils grow to understand the responsibility of their role in an ever changing, complicated, diverse & rich society, while allowing them to be exposed to the wonders of our country.

Expeditions are one of the few opportunities that pupils get to be completely self-reliant. As a group, they are often expected to plan their own adventures, encouraging them to be independent & self-su cient. Our knowledgeable team provides an extraordinary experience; pupils return from school trips having discovered challenges, joys, successes & opportunities. e list below highlights a number of possibilities available but there are many, many more. If pupils have ideas for things they want to do we actively encourage them to make it happen.
