The primary building is expected to be completed at the beginning of year 2012. The staff and students are eager to occupy the new building. The next phase of the master plan is a multi-purpose hall. It will solve the problem of a refectory, a hall for meetings and for indoor games. Before this is achieved, a temporary kitchen and stores need to be put up. Pit latrines will also be needed for the new building in-case the treatment plant fails or for other emergencies.
During the term we received a number of visitors, the climax however was the Barclays Bank CSR Madd program. The staff and students of Brother Beausang got a rare treat, when they were taken through lessons of environmental sustainability, entrepreneurship and financial literacy. There was a tree planting session that saw more than seventy trees planted.
It is a clear picture that local institutions have started partnering with the Brother Beausang community. St. Fintan’s CBS, Doon, Co. Limerick, Ireland Immersion group, We were also very appreciative of them being part of the Embulbul community for the period of their stay.From the Debating Club...
Interpersonal skills are gained when individuals can express themselves confidently to their colleagues. The debate club provides this platform weekly when on Friday afternoons; students are given topics to argue for and against. This has transformed many of the students who could initially were fearful to address a group, but over the course of the year, confidence in publicly speaking in both English and Kiswahili has grown. We are encouraging other students who have not been active during debate sessions to “pull up your socks” and realise that this is for your own good as in life we now know that you need different skills to succeed. These days one way to prove yourself is through the spoken word, especially in interview and conversation situations. So next year we plan a bigger and better Debate Club, and we invite ALL to join!
The Club wishes the entire BBCEC fraternity a Merry Christmas and a happy and blessed year 2012.

Since Nov 2009
From the Science Department...
Early in Term 3 2011, the candidate class was assisted in their exam preparations through special session on how to tackle chemistry practicals. Thanks to the administration for facilitating the event. We believe our school will perform better in Chemistry this year as a result. We also appreciated the tree planting session sponsored by Barclays Bank. We planted over 140 trees of different species such as Croton megalocarpus,Ficus spp,Dracaena spp,Araucaria spp,Bombax spp,Spathodia spp,Jacaranda spp Hibiscus spp among others
. These plants will provide shade for students in the years to come as well as helping improve the local climate. The trees will also be useful as sources of specimens for teaching biology lessons. The launching of a tree nursery by Barclays was a great encouragement to our students especially members of the environmental club, We are also grateful to Barclays Bank ‘Madd program group for the text books, revision books and reference books they donated to the school.
