On the afternoon of 27th May Don Mariano Fazio visited us and had a get together with teachers and students. Don Mariano is the current Auxiliary Vicar of Opus Dei.

He got a surprise welcome cheer from Grade 3 pupils and later had a get together with the staff of the school, Form 4 and Grade 2.

At the get together with the staff members of the school; he mentioned that the Vicar Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz, Prelate of Opus Dei prays for us everyday since they have a painting of Strathmore School in their house in Rome.

Some take away pointers from him were:
1. We should have broad horizons.
2. We try to work professionally but above all we should try to remember that it is a real service.
3. To remember that I maybe teaching the lowest class but I will work well if I am putting love in my work.
4. I may be teaching a particular subject but must remember that I have to transmit values through my work.
5. As a school we need to work with unity despite differences in our opinions.
6. To remember that we have the souls of young men in our hands and we can affect them positively.
7. That the best mode of teaching is by our example.

The 2020 KCSE results were released yesterday, Monday, 10th May 2021.
Despite the challenges that the 2020 class faced, we are pleased to announce that the young men did extremely well!
Provisional results indicate that the class posted a mean of 9.783. We are happy to note that 96% of the candidature attained the minimum entry requirement to university.
The candidates did well in all subjects. Computer Studies, French, Math, History and Geography posted excellent results! Despite a great drop in the general performance in English and Chemistry across the country, our candidates still maintained an impressive performance in the two subjects.
We wish to congratulate the teachers who tirelessly worked with the candidates, oftentimes making heroic sacrifices to keep the candidates engaged.
We thank the parents for their unwavering support throughout the boys’ sojourn at the school. We take pride in the fact that the boys were not only academically gifted but proved to be among the most polished young men that have walked the halls of Strathmore! We are confident that this discipline will propel them higher than their grades alone ever would!
We present you the breakdown of the results and the top 5 students.

We wish to congratulate our Standard 8, Class of 2020 on a superb performance! Despite the challenges occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic, the class scored an average of 382 marks.

Std 8 Class of 2020

They also posted impressive results in all the subjects:

English                80.27

Kiswahili              77.59

Math                   78.05

Science                72.30

SSRE                   74.41

We are extremely happy to note that the class scored the highest average in Kiswahili in the history of the school! Hongera!

This good performance is no doubt the fruits of hard work on the part of the boys and their teachers. The boys’ sense of self-discipline, focus and sacrifice were evident throughout their stay at Strathmore and especially in their last year of school.

The teachers went out their way, especially during the Covid-19 closure to engage the boys and to offer academic and moral support during those trying moments: behold the fruits of your sacrifice!

Special thanks go to the parents of these gallant young men: You have been steadfast in supporting them and the school in their education and formation. Your love and hard work has paid off. The boys and the school are truly grateful to you.
As we thank God for the good results we also pray for his guidance as these young men embark on their next phase of their academic odyssey.

The KCPE(Kenya Certificate of Primary Education) exam week (15th to 17th March 2020) had started so well with the rain sprinkles to indicate a sprinkle of blessing, and indeed it was. All the candidates sat for the KCPE exam successfully, without a glitch.

After their last paper, Social Studies, candidates were ushered to the luncheon; well set with keen adherence of the covid-19 protocols: I wear my mask, I wash my hands, and I watch my distance and watch my temperature. During the lunch session candidates registered their appreciation as they chatted and interacted with their teachers. The aroma welcomed everyone to the dinning room.

Their stay in the school could not be forgotten. They had a video session in the common room to recap their life since joining the school. Laughter rent the air inside the common room, laughter is medicine they say. If you want to appreciate growth then have an album. You will always have a reason to rejoice for another day! This is what the video session was about!

The match at the end of the day saw the staff versus the candidates having an entertaining football match. It started with a warm-up for both teams.

The cheering squad for the pupils was not left behind.

Scores were registered within the early minutes of the game with the candidates ahead in the first half.

The staff later proved to be the head and not near tail as they overtook the candidates in the second half. The match ended in a win for the staff team. Staff 3:2 Class 8. The match and celebrations of the day ended well!

We wish all the candidates all the best as they move on to the next level of life!

Chaplaincy, First Holy Communion

Posted on by admin

The First Holy Communion for this year was one of a kind. Historically, we have had only Grade 3 boys receiving their 1st Holy Communion because this is when it is considered they have reached the age of reason.

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic we had grade 2 and 3 share this very important occasion in our school. The Grade 3 boys were supposed to have had it last year, but because there was no going to school, they had to wait for this year. This year the Grade 2 boys attained the age of reason. This is why we had the two classes celebrate this occasion at ago.

In the past we had a small party at school involving the cutting of a cake and all the involved parties having snacks and drinks in the school courtyard. This year people dispersed to their homes immediately after the Holy Mass. Parents and the boys generally enjoyed the occasion despite the fact that there wasn’t eating and crowds as has been the case in the past.
