Life at Kisima School

The students wake up at 5 am to prepare themselves, have breakfast and wash clothes or do other cleaning before getting to class for private study at 7 am.

On Mondays and Fridays there is an assembly at 7.50 am. Students who are members of the scouts raise the Kenyan flag and everyone sings the national anthem. There is then a Bible reading and prayer and any announcements from the teacher on duty.

Lessons start at 8 am and continue till 4 pm, with a morning tea break and a lunch break in between.

At 4.30 pm, there is time for games (Mon, Weds and Fri) or clubs and societies (Tues and Thurs). The clubs available are wildlife, music/drama, writers/debating/straight-talk and young farmers, and the societies are Red Cross and Scouting.

Weekends

On Saturdays the students wake up at 6 am and then spend the morning doing private study.

After lunch everyone helps with cleaning in the school buildings and other jobs around the compound.

At 5 pm, students attend one of the religious meetings - the Christian Union, the Young Catholic Students group, or the Muslim group.  Supper is at 6 pm and the evening is time for entertainment - usually a film shown in the dining hall.
