At Nova Pioneer, we delight in learning and bring infectious energy and positive spirit to everything we do because joy fuels learning and hardwork. We ensure our students are engaged in co-curricular activities that help them develop their skills and abilities beyond the classroom. Some of the co-curricular activities our students have been involved in over the past few weeks include;
Mother Daughter Event
We had our first ever Mother-Daughter event on 14th May. This was a great opportunity for both mothers and their daughters to bond and appreciate each other. Various activities were planned for the day. The activities ranged from fun games, presentations from students, and mothers and daughters enjoying zumba and motivation speakers sessions. The mothers and daughters had a chance to share how they felt about each other especially during the Fungua Roho session.
President’s award
The President’s Award challenges young people to find their purpose, passion and place in the world. It is a self development platform for young people to acquire skills to make a difference for themselves, their communities, the country and the world.
The President H.E Hon Uhuru Kenyatta hosted thousands of students, youth and education stakeholders from across the country for the Gold Award presentations at State House, Nairobi. We had the privilege of being in attendance during the ceremony which culminated in us learning so many wonderful lessons which will support us in developing our learners’ skills thus enabling them to positively impact the society and be world ready.
