On the Friday before classes were to start on Monday, the new administration building at the school was officially opened. Several of the teachers as well as a few students who live nearby and didn’t have anything better to do came to move furniture from the old offices into the new ones. The new building is really nice; I like the soft orange color that it’s painted inside. It now houses the school secretary/receptionist, the workroom with the copier, a meeting room, and the offices of the headmaster, deputy headmaster, academic master, discipline master, and school accountant. There’re still a couple of empty offices, as well, for any future needs.
The building next door has three main divisions; before this move, the first was the offices, the second was the teacher’s lounge, and the third was the library/computer lab. Now, we’ve moved the teachers’ desks into the old office space; Lewis plans on removing a temporary wall eventually as we all rather liked having a larger open space, but for now we’ve split up into an English/Kiswahili office (me, Janet, Oscar, and Fibi), a History/Bible/Civics office (Neema, Judika, and Fielden), and a Math/Science office (Godfrey, John, Charles, and Leah). It’s a bit tight but should do for now. Then the computers were moved into the old teacher’s lounge room, and the library is finally just a library.
It was good to be back on campus after the summer break; I’m looking forward to the students returning on Sunday afternoon!
