The Kapsigilai Senior Girls School community in Tinderet Sub-County came together to celebrate improved academic performance in the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results.
Parents, teachers, students, alumni and local leaders attended the thanksgiving ceremony held on Monday morning, with the area Member of Parliament Julius Melly gracing the occasion.
The school recorded a 42 per cent transition rate to university, with 21 candidates attaining the minimum university entry grade, a milestone the administration described as a significant improvement and a source of renewed optimism.
Speaking during the ceremony, MP Melly congratulated the students for their discipline and resilience, saying the results reflected determination and consistency.

“These results show that when learners are focused and teachers are supported, success becomes achievable,” he said.
The legislator noted that the performance was proof that investment in education yields tangible outcomes and reaffirmed his commitment to support schools across the constituency through the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF).
“I will continue to use NG-CDF to improve infrastructure in our schools so that students can learn in a safe and conducive environment,” Melly said.
He added that NG-CDF resources would remain instrumental in improving classrooms, dormitories, laboratories and other essential facilities, expressing confidence that better infrastructure would lead to even higher transition rates to universities and tertiary institutions.
Melly also urged students to remain focused on their academic goals and encouraged parents to work closely with school administrations to enhance learning.
“Education remains one of the most effective tools for transforming our communities and improving livelihoods in this Sub-County,” he said.
Board of Governors Chairperson Samuel Kiprotich attributed the improved results to teamwork among stakeholders, saying the ceremony was organised not only to give thanks but also to motivate current students.
