On February 1st 2025, educators and thought leaders gathered for the BeCome workshop in our school; a transformative event that focused on redesigning schools to enhance character education and leadership. Attended by 107 participants from various schools and colleges, the workshop sparked essential conversations about the future of education.

Renowned speaker Juan Pablo Dabdoub led the discussions, echoing the sentiments of Paul Houston, former Executive Director of the American Association for School Administrators, who stated, “Schools are perfectly designed for the results we are getting. If we don’t like the results, we need to redesign schools.” This provocative message set the tone for a day dedicated to exploring how education can evolve to serve the holistic development of students and the broader community.

The workshop provided a rich foundation, drawing from decades of research in essential fields such as school climate, character education and social-emotional learning. Participants engaged in dynamic discussions about re-imagining everyday school elements—like assessments, discipline and relationships—to create environments that nurture not only academic success but also character development and positive youth outcomes.

As educators returned to their schools, they left invigorated and equipped with fresh insights on how to foster environments that prioritize character education. The BeCome workshop was not just an event; it was a meaningful step toward redefining the future of education in Kenya, with a clear focus on nurturing tomorrow’s leaders.

Last year 2023 was the last of the (Kenya Certificate of Primary Education)KCPE cohort countrywide. It is also the last Form 1 class transitioning to our Secondary Section from the Primary Section. Justin Kariuki emerged scholar of the year for the primary class. He was interviewed by our students media team. These were his comments:

Media Team: How does it feel to be the top of your class in KCPE?
Justin Kariuki: It was a really nice feeling especially when I had just found out!
Media Team: Were you expecting to do this well?
Justin Kariuki: Honestly, I was not really expecting such a high mark. I can say I was hoping for it.
Media Team: How did you prepare yourself?
Justin Kariuki: I made sure I studied a lot and was always listening in class.
Media Team: Who would you like to thank the most?
Justin Kariuki: I would like to thank my parents. The support I got from them was monumental. I would not have gotten this far if it were not for them.
Media Team: What would you like to tell the next candidates in line?
Justin Kariuki: Make sure to listen to your teachers, study a lot and probably most importantly, keep motivated.

Other top students who have joined our Secondary Section are:

The CBC (Competency Based Curriculum) setup a requirement in which our Grade 6 pupils were required to engage in rearing chicken for their national examination assessment. For this project to work the school bought 2 hens and 28 two weeks old chicks.

The Grade 6 boys take turns in groups to feed, vaccinate, water, clean the coop and in weighing. The boys are passionate and enthused about the project. They always visit the coop early in the morning when they arrive to school.

This year we celebrate our 60th Anniversary. The Math Contest held on 30th October 2021 was an initiative aimed at positively impacting the community around us as we commemorate the Diamond Jubilee.
For many years, Strathmore School has been associated with excellence in academics, especially in mathematics. To share this heritage with the public primary schools in our sub-county(Westlands) we had a boys’ math contest.

The contest was an opportunity to motivate and mentor Standard 8 boys in their final year of school. Teachers also got valuable feedback about the areas that the boys are doing well and the areas they may need to work on as they prepare for KCPE examinations.

Each participating school had to nominate 5 boys and an accompanying teacher. As the boys were tackling math questions, the teachers had a chance to go around the school. The teachers shared teaching experiences and got some insights of how the school operates. After the 2 hour paper the boys had a break and went into a mentoring session by the school Principal Mr. John Muthiora. The principal spoke about The qualities that make a virtuous man. Later after lunch they had a second session by Dr. Jeffery Osoro. Dr. Osoro is the Scholar of the Year 2015 and an alumnus of Nairobi Primary. Dr. Osoro spoke on What it takes to succeed in High School.

At the end of the day prizes were won and attendance certificates issued.
The winning school was Visa Oshwal. They went home with a Trophy, book voucher and contest medals for each participant.
The 1st runner up school was Nairobi Primary School. They went home with a Trophy, book voucher and contest medals for each participant.
The 2nd runner up school was Hospital Hill School. They went home with a Trophy, book voucher and contest medals for each participant.

The winner of the contest was David Nganga from Westlands Primary School. He received a Trophy and certificate of merit.
1st runner up was David Kithinji from Visa Oshwal Primary School. He received a Trophy and certificate of merit.
2nd runner up was Owen Kiptanui from Loresho Primary School. He received a Trophy and certificate of merit.

We hope for the best in KCPE for the schools and the Pupils who participated.
