Masinga Boys High School has vowed to continue polishing its winning performances as it prepares for the Kenya Music Festival national championships after qualifying six items from the Eastern Regional Music Festival.
The school’s music team attributed its outstanding performance to strong institutional support, discipline and the dedication of learners.
Speaking after the conclusion of the Eastern Regional Kenya Music Festival at ACK Wote Township Comprehensive School, Music Patron Augustus Mutisya said the school would continue refining its presentations as it targets success at the national level.
“With the support of our Chief Principal, Ben Ngatho, we have continued to excel. We have qualified for the national festival almost every year, and this time we are aiming to qualify for the East African level. Our students are hardworking and passionate about music and dance,” said Mutisya.
He noted that the school fielded a team of 50 learners, six of whose items qualified for the national championships.
Discipline and teamwork
Mutisya acknowledged that the competition was stiff but said the learners’ commitment to co-curricular activities, discipline and teamwork enabled them to excel.
He also recognised the role of teachers and school leadership in nurturing learners’ talents.
The music patron encouraged parents to support their children’s participation in co-curricular activities, noting that many learners discover their potential through such opportunities.
“Talent pays. It nurtures discipline, builds confidence and helps learners become creative and critical thinkers. Parents should encourage their children to develop their talents, especially now that Competency-Based Education places greater emphasis on skills and talent development,” he said.
