History

Quote: An institution is as good as the leadership in it.

My duty as the leader of the great team in Victorian Girls, each day is not only exciting but challenging in its own way. My Key role is to liaison between the school’s management and the staff [both teaching and non-teaching], the student’s fraternity, the parents and the various government agencies. I also teach Biology and Geography in various classes. Having been trained in Special education and with a background in Counselling, this has helped me be able not only to interact very well with the teams I handle but also see the school fulfill its core mandate. With the help of the current Manager Mrs. Githinji and our able Deputy Mr. Masika, we have put in structures which have led to the school being voted the most disciplined school and a hub of talents in Ruiru Sub-County. Am a firm believer that every student given an opportunity can become great and achieve much.

With over 6 years of teaching experience and having climbed the ladder I have lessons which I find very useful in cultivating the right environment for the students to excel and the teachers to work of. I believe that school should be fun and learning should be enjoyable.

The students know that am not only their leader but many have come to me and said, ‘you are our mentor’. My greatest joy is to see hope restored, dreams realized and goals achieved in each of our students.

‘Academic is the generator to power life vision. ‘

At a Victorian school, where academics meets talent, our marketplace purpose is to produce an all-around student who is able to cope with current waves of the economy and technological development after completing high school studies. With a fully stocked library with materials for research and a Computer lab fully installed and has a Wifi the student gets an opportunity not only to improve their reading habits but also research on issues of interest. The books range from academics to comics, fiction and for spiritual nourishment. With an IT instructor who is an IT graduate, the student is equipped for the marketplace once they complete their four years learning at Victorian girls.

As the director of Studies, my roles include getting resources for learning, creating opportunities for benchmarking, identifying gaps in the learning environment and making recommendations to the management on how these can be closed up. We have symposiums, Quick test, contests, debate club, open-air questions all to build confidence in our students.

‘One thing at a time and that thing well done is the true rule of life and the pathway to success’

As most people would expect my key assignment to be i.e. discipline at Victorian girls apart from teaching Maths and Physics I also wear another hat of Head of Talent Development Programme.. I would wish to speak about two areas that are key and central to what I do daily and of which am very passionate about.
