Upper Matasia Schools saw a busy term with the High School having a new Parents Teachers Association put in place to help in the school’s management. So far it has worked hand in hand with the Principal to come up with new strategies of bettering the performance of the students.
One of the new introductions has been morning prep, where the students wake up early to attend morning revision when it is quiet. They have also been attending activities in the nearby church when the church has youth activities going on.
The school’s Upper High School section has also attended set book plays and gone for excursions to Lake Magadi in the Rift Valley to learn about soda ash production. The 4th Form 4 candidate class sat the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education and the results are expected to be out in February of next year. There are plans to have all Grade 11 and 12 students at Upper Matasia High School board for better performance.
The Primary Section is also doing well and the ongoing school building has had its window and door grills put in for the classes. It is hoped that Teacher Seela’s class will relocate to the new building to make room for the High School Boarding facility for girls which is now congested.
The school has employed new trained teachers.
We also received teacher Patrick Juma from Headstart school as new member of staff. Teacher Patrick now teaches Mathematics at the school.
Upper Matasia provides ongoing computer classes equipping students with proper skills that will give them an edge in the market place upon completion of school.
The school rented a piece of land adjacent to the school to carry out practical assignments in the Agriculture lessons.
The school maintains close relations with the Kiserian high school and have had inter-school events such as drama and sports competitions.
The school has also automated its systems and is now able to keep records of all transactions, students profiles. The new automated system also assists the staff to generate regular reports so they can assess students’ progress.
