Media Coverage
We would like to draw your attention to the media coverage that our school has received in the past week.
On Saturday last week, the Saturday nation carried the information about placement of Grade 6 pupils in Junior Secondary.
This morning, the Taifa Leo newspaper has a feature about our partnership with Nation Media group in our attempt to grow the reading culture among our pupils.
Additionally, it is important to note that only two private schools have been cleared to offer Junior Secondary School in the entire Kiambu.(JUJA ST.PETER’S being one of them).

Public Holiday Pile-up
The new academic year has began very successfully to us here at Juja St. Peter’s School. We have received all the students, including the newly admitted students, and have settled to begin the first term of the academic year 2022.
With the sad demise of the former president, H.E. Mwai Kibaki (RIP), the Kenyan president H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta announced that Friday 29th April 2022 will be a public holiday in respect to the late president as the state mourns his death. Labour day, which is an annual public holiday on every 1st of May, will be on Sunday 1st May 2022, which pushes the public holiday to Monday 2nd May 2022. Lastly, Tuesday 3rd May 2022 has also been declared a public holiday by the Cabinet Secretary of Interior, Hon. Fred Matiangi, to celebrate the end of Muslim fasting month or Eid Al Fitr.
We would like to inform you that the school will remain closed for these days as the we honour the holidays. The day scholars will remain home for these days and school will resume normal learning on Wednesday 4th May 2022.

We arrived early in the morning, well and ready to give it our best and bring the medals home. The competitions started at 8:00 am and went on till 3:00 pm in the afternoon. The following day they also started and ended at the same time.
While the competitions were not a walk in the park, our swimmers were well and ready to give it all they had to represent our school in the best way possible. We therefore managed to scoop a total of 19 medals in all competitions. This also enabled us to be number 12 out of 28 schools that participated. Here are the medals we attained:

Though we know we can always do better than that, we thank all the participants for putting in a great effort in the competitions and earning the accolades they managed to earn. They selflessly and with great determination flew our flag higher and we couldn’t be more proud of them.
