Welcome to Longonot Township Secondary School! We are known as the "school beneath the volcano", with beautiful Mount Longonot National Park just behind our school.

We have four classrooms and a science lab. Our lunch feeding program and solar-powered laptop computer lab are provided by Kenya Kids Can. You can also directly sponsor students at Longonot through The School Fund!

HURRY HURRY HAS NO BLESSINGS.

Sometimes people wake up in bad mood and being stressed. Sometimes it is difficult to get a person without mental anguish. Most of the students get stressed and you would see them in class thinking instead of concentrating.When people grow old they become forgetful, and sometimes make mistakes.
This happened to one of my classmates who did a funny thing. She woke up late and wanted toget to school early. She had 20 minutes to prepare herself, take breakfast and rush to school.she prepared herself in a hurry and swiftly got into the dinning table.
In there,got her mum who served her the tea.There were two containers of sugar and salt on the table.The containers were same in colour. Due to her hurry she took the container containing salt and put one spoonful of the salt in the tea. Guess what? mmmmh.....the tea was too bitter!!! She rushed outside and spat it. she washed the cup and repeated the same mistake again.She had no alternative but to go to school without breakfast.
We should be accurate in all our doings.we should be sober always. We always mess up because of carelessness. Remember always the adage that states " Hurry Hurry Has no Blessing".

Nairobi trip with Bodwell students

This was the best moment for Longonot secondary students. this morning they all gathered at CTC office in Maai- Mahiu ready to be picked by the bus for their trip to Nairobi. The bus picked them at around 9am where Longonot students joined Maai- Mahiu secondary students and Bodwell students; they enjoyed riding together in the same bus with schools from different schools, that is Maai- Mahiu secondary in Kenya and Bodwell students from Canada.
They started at Safari walk and later went to the animal orphanage, all students had a fun moment where they were able to interact with each of the students from both Bodwell and Maai- Mahiu gsecondary.
Students also enjoyed eating their lunch together in one of the best hotels and they all enjoyed the meal at the Safari walk restaurant.
Longonot school would like to thank Bodwell for letting the students join them in this great moment, the school also appreciates what Rafiki Link program is doing.
