CITAM NGONG SCHOOL <strong>REPORT</strong><br />
77<br />
Introduction<br />
We bless the name of the Lord for the far He has<br />
brought us as a school. So far we can say that<br />
He has been Ebenezer. CITAM Schools - Ngong<br />
is laid on the foundation of Christian faith and as<br />
a school we endeavour to make disciples from all<br />
the nations in accordance to the great commission<br />
that Jesus gave to His disciples in Matthew 28:19.<br />
We consider the learners in our hands to be the<br />
nations that God has brought our way for the<br />
purpose of discipleship.<br />
Enrolment<br />
Many parents have seen the difference between our<br />
school and other schools in Ngong. As a result our<br />
enrolment has grown from 78 pupils at the close of<br />
2014 to 113 by the end of <strong>2015</strong>. We give God the<br />
glory. However we intend to aggressively market our<br />
school to increase enrolment. We hope to stretch<br />
our catchment areas to Ongata Rongai and Karen by<br />
the year 2016.<br />
Academics<br />
The school is offers the 8-4-4 system of education<br />
and come year 2016; we intend to have our class<br />
two. We have enough books and other resource<br />
materials to help the learners become more<br />
enlightened in their academic work. We also have<br />
trained teachers who are helping the learners at<br />
their own level.<br />
Pre-School Graduation<br />
The year <strong>2015</strong> was a remarkable year for us as a<br />
school. We witnessed our pre-unit class graduate<br />
into Primary school. This was a milestone for our<br />
school. The parents and other guests turned out<br />
in large numbers to witness the graduation of<br />
their children.<br />
Co-Curricular Activities<br />
The school provides swimming lessons for the<br />
young learners where they are taught different skills<br />
in swimming. The school also offers music lessons<br />
for the learners as a way of giving them opportunity<br />
to explore their talents. We also took our children out<br />
for educational trips where they were able to learn<br />
and interact with the environment.<br />
Governance<br />
We have a strong B.O.M which has been instrumental<br />
in school management. We also have the PTF where<br />
the parents and teachers interact and come up with<br />
workable ideas on how to improve the performance<br />
of the learners.<br />
Chaplaincy<br />
The school‘s devotions have been conducted under<br />
the able leadership of our pastors. The children<br />
are taught how to read the bible, memorise Bible<br />
verses and new songs of worship. The parents too<br />
have been ministered to during school meetings.<br />
Guidance and counselling has also been offered to<br />
the parents and pupils promptly.<br />
Challenges<br />
The school is still young and as a result most of the<br />
infrastructure are not yet well defined. We do not<br />
have a field where the children can play comfortably<br />
and also hold sports day as a school.<br />
Transporting the children to and from school has<br />
been a challenge since the school does not have its<br />
own vehicle. We have outsourced this service which<br />
is not very reliable especially when transporting<br />
children for swimming lessons<br />
Way Forward<br />
• We look forward to getting a school bus which<br />
will greatly assist us in the area of transport and<br />
bring in income for the school.<br />
• We trust God for increased enrolment come<br />
year 2016.<br />
To God be the glory.<br />
