Co-curricular & Extra-curricular Activities

Utamaduni Day:

Utamaduni Day is a Kianda School event where we celebrate our African Culture. Students and teachers alike come to school dressed in traditional inspired clothing and jewellery, from different Kenyan and African communities. During this event, every class in both the primary and high school participates by putting up displays and performances. Utamaduni Day helps students to connect with their African heritage as well as learning to appreciate the different cultures.
 

Creative Arts:

Creative Arts is a school event that is hosted on an annual basis. The students come together in their respective streams to produce a series of items. The events of the day are organized and polished over a number of weeks, leading up to the day itself. Creativity, talent and innovative ideas are all portrayed during Creative Arts.
