Kenya High Reveal Secrets to Stellar Performance in Exam

One by one, a section of Kenya High School’s class of 2019 thronged into the school’s pristine compound in Nairobi, accompanied by proud family members, to celebrate stellar performance.


The students and their families proudly joined in the jubilant celebrations that had already been organised by teachers and staff at the institution, singing and chanting out words of jubilation and hymns of praise to God.

In the concluded KCSE, the school had a stellar performance, with 76 students scoring As, three of whom were among the top 10 nationally.

This year, the school sat 315 candidates.

The performance of Kenya High School comes as a big improvement since the school did not feature among the top 10 in the 2018 KCSE exam.

“My mum was talking in tongues and thanking God. My brother came out screaming and it was a whole big thing and I was really excited and humbled,” the school’s top student and second best nationally, Maryanne Baraza Njeri, told the media.

“Maintain a good work ethic and be disciplined,” stated Njeri, who added that although she was not absolutely sure of her career choice, she will most likely choose to be a doctor, and not just any doctor, but a good doctor.

Njeri scored 427 points in KCPE at Thika Road Academy.

“Ms Mulatya was always there for us as well as our teachers.

These results are just mind-blowing, I can’t explain it.

I was in the house when my name was called.

I just started crying,” stated Hellen Ndathi, another student who scored an A at the school.

Ndathi revealed that she has always been a top performer, scoring 431 in KCPE and continuing her excellence in high school.

She said she hopes to become an electrical engineer.

Natasha Mathuri talked of a similar experience, stating, “I was in shock when I heard my name. I can only say thank you to God.

The school’s teachers told The Standard on Wednesday morning that long before the announcement of the results, they had gathered at the school in readiness for a celebration, optimistic of a great performance.

Some of the school’s top students who spoke credited teamwork for the exemplary performance.

“We were always working together and helping each other in
revision.

Selfishness did not exist.
We worked with the best intentions in mind for everyone.

Our teachers have always encouraged us to work together as a team and give each other hope,” stated Natasha.

The testimonies by the teachers also explain the astounding success, as they paint the picture of hardworking and committed girls who worked relentlessly to excel from the moment they joined Form One.

The teachers hailed the students for their obedience, stating that they always followed the guidance of teachers.

They told The Standard that they anticipate even better results in 2020.
