~The Form 1s leaned how to use tools commonly found in a farm workshop in their agriculture lesson🛠️. They were eager to learn  the skills needed to develop their communities at home🌾

~ We welcomed a visit from USIU Africa where the university students there mentored our students on topics ranging from goal setting and leadership to the art of giving back.🎯🎗️Our students thoroughly enjoyed interacting with and learning from students who had come from all over Africa to further their education at USIU🌍.

~ A highlight for the Form 3s this week was their geography field trip to the neighbouring river💦. You can see the students taking advantage of this opportunity by getting up close to look at the erosion and alleviate deposits 🪨. And then venturing further afield to investigate the characteristics and stage of the river🏞️.

The students enjoyed a trip out for the first time this year to Busara Senior School. The school bus was packed with classmates eager to encourage and cheer on the girl’s football team. The result: a 4:0 victory!🏆 Post match we were welcomed into the school where the students and their newly found friends were taken for tea, biscuits and games. Thank you to Busara for you warm welcome and hospitality and to our Kisima friends who donated the kit and school bus in recent years 🫶🚌. Your kind donations and sponsorship means the students at Kisima recieve a well rounded education whilst being part of this lively and nurturing community.

We recently hosted Grade 7 pupils from a local Junior Secondary School, who came for two sessions in our science lab. Junior Secondary Schools are a new creation under Kenya’s revised curriculum and these are the first children to be learning at this level. The government has introduced science practicals but has not yet constructed labs or provided equipment in public schools, so we were glad to be able to give the pupils some practical experience of the things they have been learning about. Our Form 2 students were there to help them as they discovered microscopes, Bunsen burners, glassware and other lab equipment.
