In Nairobi School you feared senior students more than teachers. A teacher would send you to a senior class(Which you weren't supposed to enter reason being seniority) and you would rather accept punishment from the teacher for disobeying than the consequences of entering a senior class which would be overnight punishment.
14:40 as an Alliance Girls High School Alum i can confirm that we were taught we’re different. We attended the best high school South of the Sahara and North of the Limpopo. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it 🤷🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️🌬️🌊 21:27 my mind is blown because AGHS was run in the exact same way! Captains (prefects) during my time had more power than any individual teachers! Only the school principal and deputies and a few senior teachers that could tell any captain anything!
These provincial and national high schools that were began during the colonial era seem to have inherited from the colonial system because this sounds like it was a shared experience for those who went to these schools who are in this age set.
All schools had headboys, school captains etc...in patch the title was strictly 'head of school'...this and many other distinctions are what made it unique
Ex Changerian (Lenana School) here and yes Patch was THE enemy especially in Rugby! The experience was very similar in Lenana. Massive school with prefects running things. The School Captain was a demi god. My first year there he was also the captain of the rugby team so you can imagine the kind of power he wielded. He had a huge office at the top floor of the administration block. He would walk up to the roof which was maybe four or five stories high and watch to see the late comers to class prep especially in the evening after supper. House Captains were also quite powerful. Games Captain too. The military like order and discipline was there. Lenana had a shooting range too! And fun fact... the school started in the current State House back in 1949!
In the 90s we had a very vibrant music club, I sang in the choir and we won a few national accolades. It was also a great way to hide from the upschool tormentors.
It was but the school also had a military tradition which carried on. The only difference is people sign on to military and navy seal type of stuff by opting in. For those who were not traumatised, there's actually those who valued the experience. Today a lot of that stuff is considered injustice but a section of society looks back at it with nostalgia. And if you listened to the whole interview I actually commented on that but I told my story as I experienced it.

Patch was legendary !!!

‘Breezing’, I had forgotten that term. Yes, bullying traumatised some. Senior School Prefects were the law in my time.
I don't know how we survived all that.
These provincial and national high schools that were began during the colonial era seem to have inherited from the colonial system because this sounds like it was a shared experience for those who went to these schools who are in this age set.
Patch is just so very wonderful...
Apatchiee eeeh apatchiee aah! Love how this is so shocking to A star. Lool
Manze
It's nostalgic..but this is what went on with basically all schools Mr Njau. Monitors>prefects>headboys

@@bmijjy Thank you very much. We did not have head boys, Head of School is the right "porto" as we used to call it.

D.H captains, at least in my school, were huge and most violent 😅
I went to a quakers nursery school in Mombasa... But yes, Luhya land is the stronghold.
Shout out to Friends church :)
Patch yeeee
Can’t remember any choir in patch 1986 to 1990
In the 90s we had a very vibrant music club, I sang in the choir and we won a few national accolades. It was also a great way to hide from the upschool tormentors.

What?? JORO
Joram, do not condone injustice. What went on in Patch was downright stupid. Do not confuse criminal actions with discipline.
