It is a new era at Friends Malava and Teremi Boys High Schools as principals swap workstations.
In a moment of transition filled with promise, John Simiyu Wakwabubi, the outgoing Chief Principal of Friends Malava Boys High School, has called for unity and patriotism as he prepares to take the reins at the esteemed Friends Teremi Boys in Chwele, Bungoma County.
This shift, confirmed by the Teachers Service Commission, has been anticipated since last December.
“I’m excited about my move to Teremi and have full faith in my successor, Dr. Aliva Luvaso,” Wakwabubi shared.
“He’s an academic powerhouse with a proven record of transforming schools into thriving educational environments.”
He urged the Malava community to embrace Dr. Luvaso with open minds and focus on his strengths rather than preconceived notions.
Reflecting on his five years at Malava, Wakwabubi proudly announced that the school achieved its highest-ever record of 145 university entries, securing a commendable position of 17th in the county with an impressive mean score of 6.10.
He emphasized the importance of parental support, urging them to ensure timely fee payments to help the new principal tackle the existing Ksh. 12 million arrears.
Dr. Aliva Luvaso steps into this role with remarkable credentials, an impressive record that includes 1 A, 10 A- and a total of 213 direct university entries with a school mean of 6.08 from the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) at Teremi Boys High School.
“Together, with your support and dedication, we will continue to build on this incredible momentum and achieve even greater heights,” he pledged, ready to lead the school into an exciting future as he takes over from where his predecessor left.
This handover marks not just a change of leadership, but a renewed commitment to academic excellence and community collaboration in both schools.
