A form four student from Mugoiri Girls Muranga died after drowning in a waterfall during a school retreat on Sunday. The school had organized this retreat so that learners would go and refresh as they awaited their national exams.
It would have been a double tragedy for the school since another student would have drowned as she was trying to assist. This insident was confirmed by the school management through a whatsapp message to parents. The student died at the waterfall as teachers, parents and other students who had accompanied her watched.
Just a few weeks another student was found dead in thickest forest after a school trip during the hiking of Mount Longonot and was a student from Nyahururu Elite secondary school.
These cases of students dying on school trips has been on the rise recently and we hope God will protect our children when outside there since we can not put a blame on certain people.
