Alumni Events
On 11th January, the Alumni Association held their very first Alumni Speakers Event, which aims to mentor our young students as they prepare for their national exams and life after high school. The Keynote Speaker was Dr. Kiplangat Sigei, class of 1997, Head of Medical Affairs at Novartis.
It was a profound forum where our students got to learn from the students before them about ready to work skills, being confident, knowing yourself, believing in yourself and leaving an impact wherever we go by being active, having great character and acquiring skills that enable us to succeed both at work and life.
The event was sponsored by Barclays Bank aligned to their mission of supporting ready for work skills.
Here are some of quotables we can run to the bank with:
