2015 PRIZE GIVING DAY HELD
It was a
beehive activity on 29/01/2016 at SOS HGPS Mombasa when the entire fraternity
gathered for the annual prize giving day. It has become a routine since the
first attempt of KCPE exam in 2005 whereby student are motivated in various disciplines
where they portray Excellency. The event is organized by Parents Teachers
Association (PTA)
Prizes
ranging from shopping vouchers, cash money, trophies and certificates were awarded to both teachers and pupils who
perform exceptionally well last year in both academic and co curricular
activities
The
chief guest was the Deputy County
Commissioner Mombasa who happens to be one of the parents at school. In her
remarks, Mrs Mwaniki emphasized on the need to cultivate unity and togetherness
despite divergent political, religious or geographical inclinations, intimating
that school going children hardly know or embrace their ethnicity as the adult
do. She urged parents to emulate their children because negative ethnicity is a
prerequisite to hatred even blood shed.
On the
other hand the school principal appreciated the good work done by teachers and
the 2015 candidates .She acknowledge that the school did not reach its set
target and indeed a decline from the last two years` performance. She however
said that the school has really embraced honesty in exams and tried to treat a
new cohort of student as unique in terms of abilities .She further urged
parents to be cautious when selecting secondary
schools for their children by considering their abilities and
determining the probability of being selected by the schools chosen. She reiterated that many
students miss getting vacancies despite scoring good marks because of
inconsiderate choices.
The event was characterized by entertainment whereby
students performed poem and skits with many lessons to learn and tackling emerging
issues in the society .The standard 5 pupils left the congregation in stitches
in their skit entitled ‘All Play no work
makes jack a dull Boy ‘The skit was meant to educate parents on the need to
be extra careful when selecting schools for their children at their formative
stage.
Meanwhile , the second and third overall best students in last year’s KCPE Victor
Jao and Fatuma Fuad respectively ,
have been admitted to the prestigious Moi High School Kabarak.They will join
the 2013 Overall best student Hussein Fuad who has really marketed SOS HGPS school because of his exemplary performance and character that
when the parents of the two students sought fpor admission request, they were
readily accepted.
