Nurturing spiritually, emotionally, and socially

Shaping Minds, Building Character, Transforming Futures

St. Joseph's Ngong Secondary School is a faith-based institution located in Kajiado North Sub-County, founded on the principles of integrity, discipline, and holistic development. Guided by our strong Christian values and commitment to academic excellence, we serve a diverse student population drawn primarily from the surrounding communities of Gishagi and Mathare.

As a Sub-County School under the Catholic Diocese, we provide a nurturing environment where students are challenged intellectually and supported spiritually, emotionally, and socially. Our goal is to equip learners not only with academic skills but also with values that prepare them to lead meaningful lives and become responsible global citizens.x

Statement from the BOM Chairperson

Catholic Diocese Ngong Township Secondary School is a strategic Sub-County institution located in Kajiado North Sub-County, Kajiado County. The school is poised to play a key role in supporting the government in achieving the goals outlined in Kenya Vision 2030, as well as fulfilling the educational commitments under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) implementation strategy. The school draws its student population largely from the informal settlements of Gishagi and Mathare, offering crucial educational access and opportunities.

In recent years, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has introduced a range of reforms aimed at enhancing teacher management. These include performance management tools such as Performance Contracting (PC), Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD), and Teacher Professional Development (TPD). These tools have contributed significantly to improved teacher performance, evaluation, and career progression.

It is within this evolving education landscape that Catholic Diocese Ngong Township Secondary School has undertaken the deliberate effort to develop a Strategic Plan. This plan is designed to guide the school’s operations, provide a roadmap for future development, and enhance accountability to our stakeholders while aligning with Ministry of Education standards and regulatory requirements.

The Strategic Plan will serve as a foundation for planning, resource mobilization, priority setting, project implementation, and performance evaluation. It is my sincere hope that all stakeholders will unite in supporting the successful implementation of this important roadmap.

We recognize that the environment in which we operate is increasingly competitive, and the introduction of CBC presents both challenges and opportunities. A focused strategic direction is therefore essential for the school to succeed in achieving its mission and desired goals.

This strategy identifies critical issues and evaluates both internal and external environments, leading to clear and actionable strategies for the period ahead. The support of the government and key stakeholders will be vital to equipping the school with the capacity to provide quality, holistic educational services.

I take this opportunity to commend all who contributed their time, expertise, and effort toward the formulation of this Strategic Plan. Your dedication is deeply appreciated.

Statement from the Parents Association (PA) Chairperson

Kenya’s education sector is currently undergoing significant reforms with far-reaching implications. These include, but are not limited to, the implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) to replace the traditional 8-4-4 system, and the 100% transition policy from primary to secondary education.

In response to these developments, the five-year Strategic Plan (2022–2027) has been developed through an inclusive and participatory process, aiming to identify key strategic issues, outline objectives, and propose solutions to address the challenges facing all core areas of the school’s development.

As key stakeholders, parents must recommit and collaborate more closely with teachers, school leadership, and the broader community to uphold and strengthen the school’s position throughout the implementation period and beyond.

Given the rising student enrollment—driven by the school’s strong academic performance, exemplary discipline, and excellence in co-curricular activities—it is evident that additional resources will be necessary to expand both physical and academic infrastructure. Likewise, increased enrollment calls for enhanced human resource capacity to meet growing demands.

I am confident that, with a well-developed implementation matrix, strong administrative structures, and supportive stakeholder engagement, the school is well-positioned to roll out the strategic initiatives and achieve the set objectives.

In closing, I wish to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all contributors involved in the development of this Strategic Plan. Your commitment and effort are commendable.

Let us unite in supporting the successful implementation of this Strategic Plan for the continued growth and excellence of Catholic Diocese Ngong Township Secondary School.
