Kajiunduthi High School Description and History
Kajiunduthi High School is a religious organisation sponsored mixed boarding school located in Igamurathi Sub location, Muthambi Location, Muthambi Division, Nithi Constituency in Tharaka Nithi County.
The School was started in 1967. The name Kajiunduthi is derived from a blacksmith who lived in this village and used to make knives. kanji-knife, duthi-maker. Thus the name means knife maker.
The school has developed from joint initiatives from locals Muthambi people and the then Church of Scotland. Initial facilities were under Kajiunduthi primary school.
Kajiunduthi High School is not only the best-guarded education institution in Tharaka-Nithi county but also one of the academic giants in the region going by 2016 KCSE exam results. The school in Muthambi location of Maara sub-location whose security is guaranteed 24 hours a day is a mixed boarding secondary school though currently with girls only in form four but with plans already in place to phase out the girls’ section and remain only a boys school.
The heightened security in Kajiunduthi High School is enhanced by a total of 24 CCTV cameras which are installed in various parts of the school compound and connected to two screen monitors.
One of the screen monitors is found at the gate of the school, inside the school guard’s room and the main screen is found in the school principal’s office.
All the school guards guarding various parts of the school walk around with walkie-talkie radio gadgets to constantly keep in touch with the guardroom at the gate in case of any incident in part of the school they are guarding.
The school principal Mr. Rachi Kirimi says he learned about CCTV cameras and how they can improve school security while they were in a routine principals’ conference whereby it was explained to them how it works to monitor every activity taking place in any corner of the school compound in which the cameras are fixed. The principal says that CCTV cameras heightened security in any educational institution can equally work wonderfully well to stop undesired characters in the communities neighboring the schools like drug peddlers and illicit brews dealers from engaging the students in their illegal business.
The school principal says in one case in the school they reversed the cameras manning the boys’ hanging lines and they easily apprehended those who’d picked school shirts belonging to their schoolmates.
Kajiunduthi High School is also one of the schools known nationally for co-curricular activities like rugby and athletics which has seen their students compete at the national level year in year out. To stump their authority in co-curriculum activities at the national level, they won a shield in rugby sevens in 2016.
Academically, the school is one of the best performings in Tharaka-Nithi County going by 2016 KCSE exam results. They had 38 students who attained grade C+ and above and destined for university. The most unique thing about Kajiunduti High School is the philanthropic nature of the students. They have a program called ‘Students to Students’ to help needy colleagues pay school fees through contributions they raise among themselves.
Mr. Rachi is all praises to the students for their philanthropic gesture in their endeavor to see their very needy schoolmates remain in school so that they can learn together as opposed to being sent away for lack of school fees. He says at times they even forgo lunch so that the cost of the skipped meal can go to help a needy case among them.
