Past decade, students school life has changed so much in terms of education, physical activities, musical instrument lessons, social activities, site trips and much more. Now schools especially the private ones, offer broad range of activities on campus throughout the academic year. From this point of view, I think social activities are biggest missing item in students life in Nairobi. Both of my children attended two different international schools, and there were not many opportunities where parents can meet and do some fun things with children together during the academic year. This also cause lack of communication between parents as well as school management.
Last weekend, thanks to new 'parent association' we had 'Family Fun Day'. This was what everyone has been waiting for including us! There were so many activities, food, drinks and games for children as well as for parents. Children were able to play and have fun at the school playground. They also sold tickets to their family members and friends, it definitely created an ownership and made them feel very proud, including my children.
