Lukenya Boys High School

There is something special about living in community seven days a week. Our boys are with each other for work, study, play and relaxation. Boys form strong bonds across year groups, underpinned by mentoring between the junior and senior boys. They come to value their Houses, seeing them as a place to call home – somewhere they are encouraged to be fully themselves, and relish the fellowship of their friends. We seek to encourage independence, maturity and responsibility in every student in our care.

Our specific aims are to:

• To create a community that ensures the safety and welfare of its students in an environment where they can be both healthy and happy.
• To provide an environment in which students can develop their intellectual academic, sporting and creative potential through well-structured routines, access to staff and other students in an atmosphere which values effort.
• To develop each boarder’s responsibility for self, for others and for their environment.
• To develop students’ qualities of leadership and their ability to work as a team.
• To create a caring and supportive environment for the development of all students.
• To create a community in which achievement is recognised and celebrated.

Emotional and social well-being of the students are an important part of their lives. The students at Lukenya Boys’ High school have an opportunity to discuss any concerns and worries they may have to the dedicated Guidance and Counseling teacher, or any other teacher that they feel comfortable confiding in.

In addition, every class teacher is assigned to work with each individual student in their class with whom they meet regularly, formally and informally, individually and in groups, to review and support their progress, and to address any issues raised. The pastoral care extends through the house system in the school. The students are allocated to one of 7 houses where the Boarding Master also plays an important role in the pastoral care of the boys.

The school also engages motivational speakers to give interactive lectures in life matters, careers, and religious issues among others. This helps the students reach their full potential and study in a stress free, conducive environment that helps nurture their strengths.

Finals. We wish them luck, and hope for the best as they strive to achieve their goals and dreams. They are a great class of talents.

The Lukenya Boys High School prides itself in having all staff fully residential and housed in the extensive staff quarters which are part of the school compound.

All the teaching staff are qualified to teach in their respective specialist areas. They are also vastly experienced in the teaching of the 8-4-4 syllabus. The teachers feel pride in their chosen profession.  Their dedication, care, and expertise leave life-affirming legacies in the lives student they interact with. This has culminated into very good results posted in national exams by the school every year.

The school also has an adequate number of well trained and highly motivated support staff to complement the running of key academic and non-academic areas such as:

• The science laboratories
• The Library
• School offices
• School kitchens
• The school compound
• The security guards.
