DEPUTY PRINCIPAL

I am delighted to have been appointed as the Deputy Principal here at Taboino Mixed Day Secondary, and look forward to the adventure and challenges ahead. We are here for your sons and daughters, and will work closely with you and members of the wider community to ensure they work hard and gain an excellent education. Here's what I expect young people to do while at the School.  Firstly, and most importantly, they are here to learn. That is why here our students are called 'learners'. Learners are not merely here to gain facts, figures and skills; but to develop the ability to think, process, research, solve problems and evaluate information and situations.

We come to Taboino to achieve. We encourage learners to aim for the highest level of which they are capable in both their learning and extra-curricula involvements. That is why teachers put in many extra hours; not only for those who struggle with aspects of their learning, but also for those who are aiming for scholarship, or wanting to compete at the highest level in performing arts and music etc.

Next, we are here to participate.  Many of us have fond memories of our school days - especially the extra-curricula activities such as sports, shows, and camps. Young people who get involved with a range of activities are more likely to develop healthy habits, good friends and special memories.
For example:

•  Our student President (Sheila Chepkirui) represented the School and the Sub County at Student Leaders' National Delegates conference at the BOMAS of Kenya Nairobi on April 2017.
• We have also a very talented boy in form three (Gideon cheruiyot - nicknamed msanii) who has recorded songs putting across advice to youths to work hard while opportunity is still there.
• Our KCSE 2021 student Sharon Chepkirui, travel to Germany this year courtesy of an NGO that was sponsoring them. 
  

We are here to respect - respect others, respect ourselves, respect property and the environment. Respect is a core value of the school and in practice might look like being on time and getting on with our work; taking time to help others; saying "thank you"; and leaving any area tidier (and happier) than when we arrived. Respect is not difficult but it is essential.

In summary, we are at Taboino to learn, achieve, participate and respect. Not only will these contribute to an excellent education  but also your children will be set up for a positive future.

Let's enjoy the journey!

Mrs. Anna Rono
