On the morning of 21st January 2025, the 11:50 AM Mass at Strathmore School was a moment of gratitude and celebration. The Chaplain led the mass in offering thanks to God for the remarkable results achieved by the Form 4 class of 2024. A good number of the students, along with their parents, gathered to express their appreciation for the hard work and success that marked their journey.

Following the mass, the parents graciously presented three delicious cakes, which were shared among the teachers, assistant teachers, and auxiliary staff. Each staff member had the chance to enjoy a slice of the thanksgiving cake, symbolizing the shared joy and appreciation for everyone’s role in the students’ achievements.

The atmosphere was filled with warmth as parents, students, and teachers took time to reminisce about the years spent together, sharing stories and laughter. It was a moment to reflect on all the growth, challenges, and successes that the class of 2024 had experienced, and to give thanks for the blessings they’ve received.

We wish the Form 4 2024 class continued success in all their future endeavors. May they continue to shine brightly in all they pursue!

As part of its education curriculum; Strathmore School emphaises on having compulsory sports lessons across all classes in school. Day 1 sports lessons for our new pupils and students in Grades 1 and Grade 7 was full of energy and excitement; a chance to have a first exciting introductory sports lesson in school.

The Grade 1 boys were in for a treat as they were handed a soccer ball and given free rein to play and explore. From the moment the ball hit the ground, the playground came alive with eager feet chasing the ball. It was a fun-filled introduction to sports that had the stage set for more structured lessons as the term progresses.

The Grade 7 boys had a different but equally exciting challenge. Their afternoon was packed with physical fitness exercises designed to build strength, agility and endurance. From warm-ups to fitness drills, they pushed themselves to get in shape for the competitive team sports that lie ahead. There was no shortage of energy as the boys worked through every move.

The first day may have been just a taste of what’s to come, but it’s clear that these students are ready for more. With a focus on developing well-rounded athletes, we can’t wait to these young sportsmen grow.

Three cheers to the future stars of Strathmore School!

On October 12, 2024, we held a Career Day specifically designed for Form 3 students and their parents. The primary objective of this event was to equip the Form 3s with essential information regarding university applications, diverse career choices and strategies for success at the university level.

The thoughtfully curated agenda featured various speakers who addressed critical topics such as university funding, the overall university experience, potential successes and challenges students may encounter and informed career choices. By sharing their insights and experiences, these speakers highlighted the importance of informed decision-making in shaping one’s educational and career journey.

The event showcased a total of 25 institutions, predominantly universities and colleges, each of which had dedicated stands. Here, representatives provided detailed explanations of the various courses offered, helping students to better understand the academic pathways available to them.

For many students, this Career Day was an invaluable opportunity as they prepare for their final year of high school and contemplate their transition to university. It inspired them to explore their options, ask questions and envision their future academic and professional endeavors. By fostering this kind of awareness and discourse, we aim to empower the next generation of leaders to make informed choices that will set the foundation for their success.

This year has been nothing short of remarkable, as we’ve witnessed a vibrant wave of enthusiasm in our parenting workshops! Parents from every class have been taking their Saturdays to dive into these enriching sessions, dedicating their time and energy to deepen their parenting skills. It’s been truly heartwarming to see such a passionate commitment to personal and collective growth among our parents.

Our workshops are more than just classes; they’re a treasure trove of invaluable insights and practical advice, lighting the way through the rewarding journey of parenthood. The enthusiastic participation of our parents has infused each gathering with a lively spirit, transforming them into delightful experiences brimming with shared stories, laughter and collective wisdom.

This year, we are particularly excited about our new initiative: the Mawio Parenting Seminars! These seminars have proven to be incredibly enlightening for parents of the boys enrolled in the newly launched Mawio Project. This initiative aims to strengthen our ties with public schools in the Westlands District, providing them with the same educational exposure that our students enjoy. It’s a heartwarming reach-out effort that underlines our commitment to enhancing education for all.

We are overjoyed to hear overwhelmingly positive feedback from the parents involved in the Mawio Project. They are not only gaining valuable insights from the seminars that have been thoughtfully tailored for them, but they are also forging strong connections, sharing experiences and building supportive connections.

We warmly welcome all Mawio parents into our school family! Your involvement adds immense value to our school and we encourage our ongoing parents to keep the momentum going by attending these fantastic workshops. Let’s continue to nurture the spirit of learning as we work hand in hand to pave the way for the next generation!

Together, we are crafting a brighter future for our children. Thank you for being such an essential part of this incredible journey!

This year’s prize-giving day was nothing short of a delightful celebration!

We were thrilled to welcome our Special Guests, the Mwagona and Kiai families. Mr. Mwagona, a cherished alumnus and proud grandparent, beamed with pride as he watched his grandson graduate from the Form 4 class of 2024. And the joy didn’t stop there! Mr. Kiai, a former student who now serves as a dedicated teacher and Dean of Studies, had the honor of celebrating his own son’s graduation from the same class. It was a heartwarming sight to see the generations come together!

The event turned into a beautiful reunion, as Mr. Mwagona caught up with former colleagues and students, reminiscing about the good old days at the school. Meanwhile, Mr. Kiai joyfully shared tales from his own school days, creating an atmosphere of nostalgia and laughter that filled the air with happiness.

We also celebrated our outstanding achievers, such as Besel Onyango, who proudly took home the Sportsman of the Year award and Kyle Angwenyi, our brilliant Scholar of the Year for 2023. Their accomplishments lit up the stage and inspired us all!

In addition to recognizing athletic prowess and academic excellence, we acknowledged remarkable students who have excelled in various fields outside the classroom, as well as devoted staff members who have dedicated their time and hearts to our school for many years.

As the day drew to a close, families and friends gathered together, sharing laughter and heartfelt conversations. It was truly a joyful afternoon — a wonderful get-together. Here’s to many more moments of celebration and unity!

On September 14th, 2024, we launched the inaugural Mawio Parenting Seminar, a gathering where minds converged around the crucial theme of “Educating in Character”. This enriching seminar is designed to give parents ideas they need to nurture well-rounded individuals and is divided into three engaging sessions, inviting parents to share their insights and experiences. We are excited to announce that the next two sessions will follow on September 28th and October 5th, 2024!

During our first session, parents received individual report forms detailing their sons’ academic performances in the program thus far, sparking enlightening discussions. The feedback poured in and it was heartwarming to hear parents express their observations of positive transformations in their children. They noted remarkable improvements in areas such as Academic Performance, Confidence, English Speaking, Order, Hygiene and Self-Esteem. This witnessing in growth fills us with hope and inspiration.

This gathering marks the beginning of a collaborative program, a beautiful partnership between the school and the families, working hand in hand to raise resilient, capable and confident young men. As we look forward to the upcoming sessions, we collectively embrace the opportunity to learn and grow together!

2 of our boys: Curtis Kamotho and Adam Otieno, put in hard work and dedication to be selected to represent Kenya in the Federation of East African Secondary Schools Sports Association games held at Bukedea Comprehensive School in Uganda on August 24, 2024.

The air was filled with excitement and nerves as the Kenyan Schools Swim Team arrived at the venue. Curtis, with his swift strokes and determination, was ready to take on the 5 events he had entered. Adam, equally eager, lined up for his 4 events, believing he could make his country proud.

The competition was fierce, but Curtis shone brightly in the pool. He secured a remarkable silver medal in four different events: the 100m Backstroke, 200m Medley Relay, 200m Mixed Relay and the 100m Breaststroke. Only his 50m Backstroke kept him from the podium, where he finished in 4th place, just missing out on the medal.

Meanwhile, Adam also put in a solid performance. His strategy and speed earned him bronze in both the 200m Individual Medley and the 50m Breaststroke. But what made him particularly proud were his silver medals in the 100m Freestyle and as part of the 200m Medley Relay team.

As the event concluded their efforts were instrumental in securing 2nd place for the Kenyan Schools Swim Team overall.

In the end, Curtis and Adam didn’t just bring home medals; they brought back lifelong memories, making their families, school and country proud. We hope for future championships for the two swimmers and possibly more swimmers from our school.
