Government takes over the school

From January 1st 1946, by mutual agreement, Government had taken over the running of the School from the Diocese, but in recognition of his past services the Bishop was constituted Warden of the School with the right of approving appointments to the staff. He was appointed Chairman of the School Advisory Council and a Chaplain-Master was appointed to the staff, an unusual provision in a Governent School, but one which was never queried for the simple reason that the succession of men appointed proved themselves of indispensible benefit to the school.

The first pupils

The first pupils were transferred from an earlier school opened in 1928 at Ngare Nairobi on the plains on the North-West foot of Kilimanjaro, where wild animals grazed up to the edge of the school compound and the Headmaster was expected to provide most of the school's meat by the use of his rifle.
