In a declaration before parents, teachers, guests and the entire school community, this year’s candidates unanimously resolved to push their individual grades and ensure the school registered the set target.
The school’s Chief Principal Jeniffer Kiprono congratulated the girls for setting higher standards for themselves and urged them to go for their dream. She also assured the girls of the support from teachers, parents and the Board of Management in ensuring that the right environment prevails for them to post impressive results.
“Our girls are ready to burn the midnight oil, turn tables and make their dreams of affirming the authority that the school is indisputably a centre of excellence,” said the self-assured Principal.
In the 2022 KCSE results, 273 candidates achieved a mean point of 7.30 up from 6.7 in 2021with183 students achieving the university entry grade. The breakdown of the grades was as follows: A- (3), B+ (16), B (36), B- (65), C+ (63), C (63), C- (17), D+ (9), and D (1).
Speaking during their thanksgiving event organized to celebrate the 2022 KCSE results, the principal said the school recorded a 67 per cent transition rate and promised even better results this year.
Simon Kiprono Chelugui, the Cabinet Secretary for Cooperatives, Micro, and Small & Medium Enterprise Development who was the chief guest, implored students to cultivate confidence, focus and determination to realize the good results they desired in the forthcoming examinations.
‘‘Sky is the limit and there is no magic behind stellar performance; it is only sheer determination and certainty of what you want with yourself. I urge you ‘Deborahs’ to take your studies seriously and you will succeed,’’ Chelugui said.
Deborahs is the name christened the 2023 candidates to symbolize the strong belief that they have in themselves, just like Deborah of the Bible.
