At the start of the school term, the school Chaplain, Fr. Francis, blessed the new Activities Block, opening the doors of each room and blessing each room for the students who will use the facility.

Since then, the Activities Block has become a vibrant hub of activity, hosting various clubs such as Chess, Coding, Music and Art, among others. The new facility is open to all sections of the school, both Primary and Secondary, providing a dynamic space for students to explore their interests and talents.

We are excited to make the most of this wonderful new resource and look forward to seeing the many ways our students will engage with the diverse activities it offers.

In an initiative aimed at bridging continents through the love of football, Southampton Football Club UK and Jaffreys Sports Club Kenya joined forces to hold the Southampton Football League. Spanning from January 27th to June 29th, 2024, this league sought to foster connections between Southampton FC and Kenya nurturing young talent and promoting cultural exchange through sport.

The tournament featured categories for Under 17 boys and girls, as well as Under 18 boys, attracting teams from various schools and academies across Kenya. Among them, the spirited team from Strathmore School represented in the U17 boys category, aiming to showcase their skills and uphold the values of fair play and sportsmanship.

Throughout the league, the Strathmore team displayed tenacity and determination, contesting in a total of 9 matches against formidable opponents. Their journey was marked by impressive victories, securing wins in 6 matches, including memorable triumphs over competitive rivals such as Nairobi Jaffrey, Emerald School and Woodcreek School.

However, as in any sporting endeavor, challenges were also faced. Strathmore faced defeats against strong adversaries: MPESA Academy, Makini School and Jaffrey Elite. Despite these setbacks, the team maintained their resilience and focused on continuous improvement, ultimately securing a commendable 3rd place finish in the U17 category league standings.

The roster of teams in their category was formidable, featuring Nairobi Jaffrey, Jaffrey Elite, MPESA Academy, Makini School, Emerald School, Swaminarayan School, Woodcreek School, St. Marys School and Nairobi Academy. Each match was a testament to the competitive spirit and dedication of the young athletes, showcasing the diversity and talent within Kenya’s youth football landscape.

Beyond the field, the league organizers hosted a gala event to celebrate the season’s achievements and honor exemplary conduct. It was here that the Strathmore team received dual accolades: The Fair Play Team of the Season award and recognition for upholding Southampton values throughout the tournament. These accolades underscored not only their sporting prowess but also their commitment to integrity and respect on and off the pitch.

Looking ahead, the team eagerly anticipates the upcoming season, set to kick off in January next year. With lessons learned and experiences gained, they are poised to build on their successes and strive for even greater heights in the next chapter of their football journey. As they continue to represent Strathmore School and embody the spirit of sportsmanship instilled by Southampton FC, their aspirations remain high, fueled by passion, teamwork, and the unwavering support of their fans and community.

The Southampton Football League has not only provided a platform for competitive football but has also strengthened bonds between nations, fostering friendships and creating lasting memories for young athletes like those from our school. In the heart of this sporting endeavor lies a testament to the transformative power of sport, uniting individuals and communities in pursuit of shared dreams and aspirations.

Mr. Boniface Onyango, past student of the School (Class of 1983) also served as member of staff (1994-2002). He taught mathematics and physics and distinguished himself as a talented teacher in sports and music. He was also a dedicated teacher and Tutor. After leaving Strathmore School, Mr Onyango has served as principal in several schools in Kenya and abroad.

Mr. Boniface Onyango was taken ill in 2021 and has since been in an out of hospital. He traveled to India for specialised treatment on 1st May 2024 and returned on 17th May 2024. He is currently admitted in one of the hospitals in Nairobi.

We appeal for your prayers for his full recovery. We also appeal for financial support to help him cope with mounting hospital bills. Contributions can be sent through his wife, Mrs. Onyango on +254722846399.

Strathmore believes in the 3 facets of education: Parents, Teachers and Students. When Strathmore School admits new students; we open the gates for the families of the students. We are happy to have a new lot of parents who have joined us from the admission classes of Grade 1, Grade 7 and Form 1.

We wish all our new parents all the best and a warm welcome to the Strathmore School family!

In the last few years, the school has intensified its efforts in nurturing talent in extracurricular activities.

This has seen a steady rise in the number of clubs and societies in the school. The introduction of the Competency  Based Curriculum (CBC) has necessitated a paradigm shift in pedagogy, making learning more student-centered, practical and hands-on. In view of the above, the school has come up with the Activity Block Project  aimed at addressing the growing need for facilities to accommodate the needs identified.

On Saturday 18th February 2023 we had the chance to host the historic Strathmore@60 Touch Rugby tournament which included teams from the Strathmore School Rugby alumni and Strathmore University Rugby Alumni and fraternity. The Occasion had a total of 16 teams which participated in the tournament.

Past students from the different years came together to form teams and had a chance to have lots of fun and remember the ‘good old days in school’. The tournament started in the morning at 9am and by 4pm teams were awarded for performance and participation. It was a memorable and fun day for our Alumni, current students and the University’s Alumni.

We hope this was the start to more of the Alumni interactions with the current students.

We regret to inform you that Cornel Wafula Wabwile, one of our students, departed this life into God’s presence, on Wednesday, 18th January 2023 after a short illness.
He was admitted to Coptic Hospital and despite gallant efforts by the doctors to save his life, he succumbed to illness.
The Strathmore School family, wish to convey deepest condolences to the parents and the family on this great loss.

Cornel has been an icon of hope, a brilliant and hardworking student who has heroically overcome many challenges, especially those related to his condition. He has maintained an impressive academic and discipline track record and at the time of his demise had met the promotion requirements to Form 4. He will remain a role model to his classmates and to many others who knew him.

We appreciate that the loss of Cornel is a big blow to the school community, especially to his classmates.

All of us are invited to pray for the repose of Cornel’s soul and for his family in this period of sorrow.

May Cornels soul rest in Eternal Peace.
