NAIROBI ACADEMY PREPARATORY
SCHOOL 3rd February, 2017 Volume 2 issue 15
www.nairobiacademy.or.ke
Note from the Head We have had a very productive week both in
and out of the classroom. With the extreme heat can I ask you to
encourage your child to drink plenty of water - we are encouraging
them too. I have noticed this week that children are coming to
school with packets of crisps and packets of Ribena and yoghurt
etc. May I remind you that we are a 'PACKET FREE SCHOOL' The amount
of litter dropped on the ground this week has been atrocious! If
you must give your children crisps or Ribena please empty the
contents into a refillable con-tainer so that we do not have all
these packets at school. Wishing you a very happy weekend!

Counselors Assembly
The school counselor ‘s assembly was about being a Buddy and not
a Bully . Students were given “Its cool to be kind badges.” and
encouraged to value & respect differences because we are all
special in unique ways!
Inter –School Verse Speaking Competition On Saturday 28th
January 2017 Nairobi Academy hosted the Inter-School Verse Speaking
Competition. Fifteen different Schools participated and they came
from all over Kenya - Mombasa, Kisumu, Nanyuki, Thika and Nairobi
and it's environs. There were 3 categories Under 8, Under 10 and
Under 12. We had two wonderful judges Karungari Mutu who is an
author and Bernadette Quadros who is a lawyer with a great interest
in the performing arts. They had a very hard time judging as the
standards were so high and ALL the children performed so well. When
I went over the marks I couldn't believe how close they were.
Mombasa Acad-emy and Peponi House came joint first, with Brookhouse
taking second place and Braeburn Kisumu came third. It was
wonderful to see how much talent there is in these young
children.

Entrepreneur
This year the children came up with their own idea for their
com-munity service project. They decided on ENTREPRENEUR DAY. Each
class came up with their own idea on how they would raise money on
that day. We had bake sales, tombola stands, milkshakes stalls, a
restaurant, hover boards, smoothies and many more. The children had
a great day and many parents came to to help and join in the fun
too. At the end of the day they managed to raise 83,500/-!! The
student council representatives will gather ide-as from their
classes to help decide what we should buy for Ad-venture Pride
School. We will keep you posted. A big THANK YOU for all your
support.
