Nairobi’s St. Marys School’s IB2
students on 15th May 2015, secured a place in the growing list of
beneficiaries of the Transformed Me program.
The School Chaplain, Fr. Philip
Akansighe said the need to help the IB 2 candidates focus their attention on
the upcoming final examination and prepare for their post school life inspired him to
organize the one-day academic retreat for the IB2 students.
Fr. Philip thanked Transformed Me
team for the transforming event and lauded the students for their active
participation during sessions.
“I am short of words to conclude, I have
always had a premonitional belief that this class is going to be the best. In
your presentations you spoke philosophically and got to the fundamentals of
life and this is going to be helpful in getting solutions to challenges you face in life” Fr. Philip
Andrew Koten’g spoke on behalf of
participants and highlighted the need for frequent educational retreats.
Koten'g observed that the academic
retreat was unique as he thanked the School’s Chaplaincy and administration for
inviting the Transformed Me team.
He requested Fr. Philip and the School's administration to welcome back the Transformed Me
facilitators to talk to the IB2 candidates again before the final examination
which is scheduled to take place later in the year.
Observing that the joy of success is
always indescribable, Mrs. Dorothy Osir a teacher at the school encouraged the
IB 2 students to take advantage of what they learned during the retreat to
prepare well for examination.
Dorothy Osir said it was impressive
to listen to some students who disclosed that they had not been living as per their parents expectations commit to embrace behavior change.
Erick Chuma who facilitated the
session on goal setting & careers advised the IB2 students to
prioritize setting realistic goals and avoid getting into projects they are unable accomplish.
“Goal
Setting is an important method to determine what we want to become in future.
It helps us to identify what is important.” Chuma
The academic retreat's lead facilitator and
counseling psychologist Catherine Kisasa implored the candidates to be cautious about Study distracters, pointing out inability by candidates to deal with
distractions as a major cause of dismal performance in examinations.
“You have
very few months remaining to your exams; this is the time to focus.
Distractions will always be there but avoid them so that you have time to focus
on your studies.”
