Teachers from Kilifi Comprehensive School were treated to a well-deserved holiday retreat in Watamu, courtesy of their Headteacher, Emmanuel Karuke.
The one-night getaway brought together both Junior School and Primary Section teachers for a refreshing and memorable experience filled with fun, laughter, and team bonding.
The trip, fully organised and facilitated by Karuke, was a gesture of appreciation for the teachers’ hard work, commitment, and dedication throughout the academic year.
The team spent the night at one of Watamu’s serene beach resorts, enjoying the cool coastal breeze, swimming, beach walks, and group games that fostered unity and relaxation.
Speaking during the event, Karuke emphasised the importance of teacher welfare and motivation, noting that educators play a vital role in shaping the future generation.

He stated that investing in their well-being directly translates into better classroom performance and stronger teamwork within the school.
“This retreat is a small way of saying thank you for your tireless efforts and resilience. You have given your best to ensure our learners excel, and I believe you also deserve time to unwind and celebrate your achievements,” said Karuke.
Teachers lauded the principal for his thoughtful gesture, describing the experience as both refreshing and inspiring.
They commended his leadership style, which combines professionalism, compassion, and a deep sense of teamwork.
The trip concluded with a dinner by the beach, where teachers shared their reflections and pledged to return to school next year more energized and united.
