ST.JOSEPH MATUU HIGH SCHOOL : OPEN LEADERS DAY

ST. JOSEPH MATUU HIGH SCHOOL YESTERDAY LAUNCHED A LEADERS DAY WHICH WILL BE HELD ONCE EVERY YEAR AT THE SCHOOL TO EVALUATE VARIOUS ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL ESPECIALLY DISCIPLINE AND PERFORMANCE.

VARIOUS LOCAL LEADERS GRACED THE OCCASION INCLUDING PEOPLE FROM THE CHURCHES, OTHER NEIGHBOURING SECONDARY SCHOOLS, PARENTS AND THE PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION.

IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY AGREED THAT THE TWO CORE VALUES TO BE PURSUED IN THE COMING YEAR 2010 BE DISCIPLINE AND PERFORMANCE.

FROM THE HISTRORY OF THE SCHOOL SINCE ITS FORMATION IN THE YEAR 1979 IT SEEN IMPERATIVE TO CHANGE THE WAY THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN RUN OVER THE YEARS. THE STARTING YEARS WERE NOTED TO HAVE BEEN GOOD AND AT AROUND THAT TIME THE SCHOOL PRODUCED STUDENTS WHO ARE PRESENTLY HOLDING SENIOR POSITIONS IN OUR SOCIETY LOCALLY AND ABROAD BOTH IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR AS WELL AS BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND THE GOVERNMENT. IT WAS AGREED THAT AN ALUMNAE BE FORMED IMMEDIATELY AND SUCH FORMER STUDENTS BE INVITED TO COME AND GRACE THE OCCASSION NEXT TIME.

OF IMPORTANCE TO NOTE WAS A REMARK MADE BY THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BOARD FATHER MAKITE. HE SAID THAT FOR A LONG TIME THE SOCIETY HAD NEGLECTED LOOKING AT A HUMAN BEING AS COMPRISING THREE PARTS VIZ;-

• THE BODY
• THE MIND and
• THE SPIRIT

FATHER MAKITE SAID THAT FOR OUR SOCIETY TO SUCCEED WE MUST NOT ONLY PROVIDE THE BODY WITH FOOD, SHELTER AND CLOTHING, OR THE MIND WITH LEARNING BUT WE MUST REFOCUS AND NUTURE THE PERSON SPIRITUALLY. THIS HE SAID IS THE FOUNDATION FOR LEADESHIP THAT THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES BARRACK OBAMA UPHOLDS. PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS ALOT OF FAITH IN GOD AND IN THE WAKE OF CHALLENGES HE TRUSTS IN GOD AND URGES US TO BELIEVE THAT YES.....WE CAN !!!.

FATHER MAKITE CONCLUDED THE SPEECH BY SAYING THAT FOR OUR SCHOOL TO SUCCEED, THREE ASPECTS HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER IN A TEAM VIZ;-

• THE PARENT - SACRIFICE FOR YOUR CHILD AND PAY ENOUGH FEES TO SUPPORT ALL PROGRAMS PRESENTLY BEING OFFERED AT THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SCHOOLS IN KENYA WITH WICH WE SHALL BENCHMARK e.g. ALLIANCE, STAREHE,STRATMORE AND MOI HIGH SCHOOL KABARAK. STUDENTS WHO EXCELL WILL BE REWARDED ACCORDINGLY.
  
• THE TEACHERS - HERE HE SAID THAT THE BOARD IS COMMITED TO RECRUITING GRADUATE TEACHERS AND PAY THEM WELL, WHO HOLD BACHELOR OF EDUCATION DEGREES AS A MINIMUM STARTING JANUARY, 2010. THE TEACHERS WILL SIGN PERFORMANCE CONTRACTS AND THOSE WHO WILL EXCELL WILL BE REWARDED ACCORDINGLY.
• THE STUDENT - WE MUST MOVE AWAY FROM FOCUSING ON NUMBERS BUT OFFERING QUALITY. MINIMUM ENTRY WAS SET AT 200 MARKS THIS COMING YEAR 2010 , 250 MARKS IN YEAR 2011 , 300 MARKS IN YEAR 2012 AND OVER 300 MARKS THEREAFTER. INDISCIPLNE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AND EXCELLENCE WILL INSTEAD BE HIGHLY REWARDED.
  

FATHER MAKITE DID NOT LEAVE THE CONGREGATION GUESSING AT THE CHOICE OF THE CURRENT NAME "ST.JOSEPH MATUU HIGH SCHOOL". THE FATHER SAID THAT "ST. JOSEPH" IS FAMOUS FOR HAVING TAKEN THE ROLE OF A "BABA MLINZI" IN KISWAHILI OR "THE CARETAKER" IN ENGLISH. FATHER MAKITE TRACED ST.JOSEPH'S ROLE IN THE BIBLICAL TIMES WHEN OUR LORD JESUS WAS BORN. HEROD WANTED TO KILL THE YOUNG JESUS BUT JOSEPH UNDERTOOK TROUBLE TO TAKE FLIGHT TO EGYPT "UNTILL JESUS HAD BECOME OF AGE AND COULD PROTECT HIMSELF". THIS IS THE MANDATE THAT THE NEW BOARD WILL BE TAKING FROM JANUARY,2010. ALL THE STUDENTS WE RECEIVE MUST BE EMPOWERED TO EXCELL BOTH ACADEMICALLY AND IN LIFE.
