Discipline, teamwork, completing the syllabus early and creating sufficient time for revision are among the top reasons that has put Orero Boys High school on top.

Other reasons included character formation, involving teachers and parents in student welfare, a strong religious foundation and prayer.

In last year Kenya certificate of secondary Education,Orero Boys topped Nyanza region with a sterling performance.

Under the headship of Chief Principal Dickens Bula, his vision is to see the school produce brilliant, disciplined and God-fearing students.

Mr.Bula who has sat at the helm of the school for years, he has initiated a meteoric rise in both administration and academic performance performance.

The culture of excelling every year pushes the next class to do even better because no one wants to be a let-down and that makes management easy.

Despite the hardship at Orero Boys School, what strikes you most is Mr.Bula ability to perfect the zeal to jealously guard the pride place.

Any casual observer would notice without doubt that the academic wheel has come full circle.

Now the school has carved a niche to achieve the associated benefits for its students and staff which has continued to mark good results by extensively competing other prominent schools in the national and regional categories.

The principal also disclosed that teachers are always in the compound day and night and students always engage in co-curriculum activities,family units organized by guiding and counseling masters.

He further noted that with a supportive board of management, Parents association and a principal who is always in school , they expect excellent results.

“We understand that discipline is the cornerstone to any success. I am happy to say that there has been improved discipline in this school and no doubt, students at Orero Boys are beginning to reap its fruits,” he posed.

The school encourages and rewards self-discipline whereby students work without much supervision.

“Doing the right thing at the right time and at the right place sums up self-discipline. It is this self-discipline that has enabled our school to shine academically and in co-curricular activities,” he observed.

At Orero Boys High School,fellow students guide and counsel those who may not be towing the line. This is done through student leaders who form a hierarchy that ensures free-flow of communication between
the administration and the students.

Discipline therefore is everybody’s responsibility, with each student being his brother’s keeper.
