May is Mental Awareness Month. And at C.G.A, we are cognizant of the mental health struggles that some of our students face.

Through our mentorship program, students get access to safe places where they can share their struggles, and get help on time.

By Gods grace, our Holiday Feeding program, supported by our partners, has also helped to cover the costs of food for many families, preventing the mental health crisis associated with financial strain.

We thank everyone who has been committed to providing psychosocial support to help our students bounce back from different set backs that could negatively impact their mental health.

"All hard work brings a profit." And C.G.A. has profited greatly from the dedicated hardwork of several men and women.

On this labour day, we appreciate you all. From the farm workers down by the lake shore, to the C.G.A leadership and Board of Managers; we acknowledge your hardwork, commitment, and dedication to the C.G.A vision.

May God give you more grace and wisdom as you toil purposefully for His Kingdom.

Happy Labour Day!

Second term is here, and we're very ready for it!

This morning, we reopened the school after a three-week holiday. The staff had reported a week earlier to prepare for the new term, ensuring that everything was in place for a smooth reopening. Students returned refreshed and ready to resume their studies, and the atmosphere was lively as everyone reconnected and settled back into the school routine.

We began the day with a morning chapel, bringing together both students and staff in a moment of reflection and unity. This meaningful start has set a positive and purposeful tone for the term, inspiring both learners and staff to approach their responsibilities with dedication, discipline, and a shared commitment to nurturing not only academic excellence but also strong character and faith.

Even as the April Holiday continues, our staff are using this time to develop their skills in preparation for the upcoming academic term.

This week, they are on campus undertaking professional development sessions and making the necessary preparations for second term.

The sessions encompass enhancing teaching effectiveness, updating instructional strategies, and ensuring that all resources are in place for a smooth start.

We look forward to welcoming all learners back and continuing with our commitment to academic excellence, as we impart the truth of Jesus and transform lives.

"You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving."

This Friday, as we honour the greatest gift ever given to the fallen world we live in, we pray that you may come to know and experience the love of God. Not as an abstract idea, but as a reality that existed before time.

He loved, so He gave.

Happy Easter!

On Tuesday, we were pleased to meet with over one hundred and sixty parents on campus. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to engage, share updates on the progress of our students, discuss key matters affecting the school, and listen to their thoughts and feedback.

The session was further enriched by the presence of the Suba North and Suba West Children’s Officer, who addressed the parents and guardians and emphasized the importance of taking an active and responsible role in the upbringing, discipline, and overall well-being of their children.

In addition, the meeting fostered a spirit of collaboration between the school and families, highlighting the need for continuous communication, mutual support, and a shared commitment to creating a conducive learning environment. Parents were encouraged to closely monitor their children’s academic performance, attendance, and behavior, while also working hand in hand with teachers to address any emerging challenges.

Overall, the engagement was productive and reaffirmed the strong partnership between the school and the wider community in supporting the holistic development of our learners.

On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of welcoming back our Grade 10 students who are home for the mid-term break.

They shared highlights from their experiences over the past few weeks. One student proudly remarked that Kenya’s current Attorney General is an alumna of the high school she goes to.

We wish them a restful short break with their families.
