On November 26th 2023 to December 1st 2023 our then Form 3 class had a Charity Project in Budalang’i Sub County. They were off to assist in construction of parts of the Bunyala Model School.
During the last term of the school; the Form 3 class raised some money for the construction works in areas of Bunyala Model School. 16 boys from the class were picked during the school holiday to represent the entire class. The students were accompanied by their teachers.
Indeed it was time well spent by the students!
This year the swimming team had 3 boys representing Kenya in the Federation of East African Secondary Schools Sports Association (FEASSSA). They were Curtis Kamotho, Adam Otieno and Emmanuel Otieno.
The venue was in Groupe Scolaire Officiel de Butare, Huye, Rwanda. Kenyan team had 30 swimmers from different Secondary Schools in the country; Strathmore School produced 3 boys.
Their performances in the Kenya Team were as follows:
Emmanuel Otieno
-Bronze Medal
-Position 3 in 100m Freestyle
Adam Otieno
-Silver Medal
-Position 2 in 200m Mixed Relay [Breastroke]
Curtis Kamotho
-Bronze Medal
-Position 3 in 50m Backstroke.
All in all the Kenyan Swimming Team took 2nd position with Uganda and Rwanda scooping 1st and 3rd respectively.
Next year we hope the team make it to Uganda for the same tournament with more numbers from the school!
After the mid of Term 2, classes from the Primary and Secondary sections geared up for the internally organized inter-class football tournament.
The Primary tournament was held in the afternoon break and The Secondary tournament in the evening after class.
The boys displayed skill, team strategy, intensity and discipline as each class put out it’s best players to contest for the trophies.
For the Primary Section the Standard 8s were the winners with Grade 6s emerging runners up.
For the Secondary Section the Form 3A were champs in a Form 3 finals derby which saw 3 Alpha scoop the runners up slot.
We hope for a good football season in Term 3 as school teams are picked for the International Schools Games.
This year Grade 7 and Standard 8; Form 2, 3 and 4 went out for the yearly Charity visit.
The focus this year was giving and concern. The boys had a chance of learning a lot in the interactions.
