Ms Omar said congestion at the school was a thing of the past as the school has adequate classrooms, dormitories, a dining hall and a playing field.

She said the school has enrolled over 300 Form Ones who will be reporting on Monday.

"We are all excited to be here. Every class has five streams, that will deal with the issue of over-enrollment. We have 20 classroom labs, a dorm carrying over 1,000, and a dining hall that can accommodate 2,000 students," said Omar.

She said the school security is okay with a perimeter wall erected across the compound. However the neighbouring Shimo La Tewa Boy is not fenced, and its infrastructure is dilapidated.

Esther Muturi, a Form Four student, said she was excited about the relocation since the new school has ample space and better facilities.

"With a vast space and conducive environment, we will be able to concentrate and post good results," said Muturi.

The school's PA chairman Hussein Juma said with the ample space, the school will be able to participate in co-curricular activities.
