On Saturday, somewhat belatedly, we held a 'Welcome Form One Day' . We celebrated the new intake with a day of music, dancing, drama, gymnastics and prize giving. After a welcome from the Headmaster Mr Mbilinyi, visitors enjoyed a tour of various subject exhibitions in classrooms including the laboratory and were impressed by student presentations on chosen topics.

Everyone then enjoyed the show, especially a Comedy, with Innocent Yohanna as a crazy old man, supported by three other talented Form 2s. Another highlight of the day was the gymnastics, where boys catapulted themselves across the arena in some death-defying stunts, using a desk and chair in place of a vaulting horse. Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiongo's play 'This Time Tomorrow' was performed by Drama Club directed by Jenny Bowie, a volunteer at Kisasa from London. The audience were impressed by the students' ability to convey the story in English, often their second or third language.

The ceremony ended with presentations of prizes to last year's Form 4s who achieved Division 1, 2 or 3 in the national exams. There was a big round of applause for Richard Silla who gained the only Division 1, including an almost unachievable A in Chemistry. The party continued throughout the afternoon giving students the opportunity to show off their Kiduku (everyone's favourite style of dance).
