Society's Relaunch
The Old Boys Society was relaunched in November 2004 at the School Hall, and elections for a new management committee held; the society has been moribund for a number of years due to various reasons.



       
A bit of our history
     
       
 

Olonana ole Mbatian, popularly known as Lenana, was one of the most outstanding Masai and Kenyan leaders, African chief and Laibon (prophet/visionary), whose life spanned the second half of the nineteenth, and the first decade of the twentieth centuries. He lived through and influenced a crucial period in Kenya's history: when the Masai were engaged in nation building, there was competition for leadership, land, people, livestock, wealth and power; and when European intrusions, which were becoming ever more intensive, were shaping Kenya's colonial culture and economy.
