Growing Excellence One Step at a Time
15th November 2025
This week, we have been privileged to receive an outstanding wave of scholarship applications from our primary learners and external candidates. The quality has been exceptional, showing the depth of talent, creativity and ambition in our community.
Across Academic, Sports, All Rounder, Music, Drama and Art categories, students have shown impressive skill and passion in their applications. We look forward to meeting them at the upcoming Scholarship Day and experiencing their talents first hand. As we engage with their academic portfolios, artistic pieces, sporting ability and musical and dramatic performances, our applicants continue to show what young people can achieve when they are encouraged and supported.
At Braeburn, we believe in recognising and growing talent early. Our scholarship programme creates a meaningful pathway into high school, where we develop the whole child academically, socially, creatively and personally.
We pride ourselves on offering a high school experience that prepares students to become confident and capable young adults ready for the world. Whether in the classroom, on the field, on stage or in the studio, our students are guided to explore their potential and discover what drives them. This week’s business pitches captured this beautifully. Students demonstrated a strong understanding and confident application of key business concepts, and it was truly encouraging to see the calibre of young people we are preparing for the world.
Our academic culture is built on resilience and steady effort. Research consistently shows that small, regular habits lead to the strongest long term gains. Consistency creates progress, and progress builds confidence. Our teachers support students through every stage of that journey.
This week we also celebrate an outstanding achievement. Kanishka earned the top score in Kenya in A Level Mathematics. His success reflects the power of consistent effort, excellent teaching and an environment that encourages excellence.
As we continue reviewing scholarship applications, we are reminded of the purpose behind our work. Our students are talented, curious and full of promise. Our role is to give them the platform and guidance that helps them grow into confident young people ready to shape the world.
