We are immensely proud to celebrate our very own Eric Wainaina, who proudly flew the school flag high at the prestigious National Chess Championships, held at the historic Mang'u School from 31st July to 3rd August 2026.

Facing off against some of the finest young chess strategists from across the country, Eric displayed exceptional tactical brilliance, remarkable concentration, and unwavering sportsmanship. His journey to the national stage is a testament to months of rigorous preparation, disciplined practice, and a true passion for the game of kings.

The Power Behind the Board

A Word of Gratitude

Success of this magnitude is never achieved alone. We extend our deepest appreciation to Madam Ruth Moraa for her visionary leadership and intense, dedicated training sessions that prepared Eric for the high-pressure environment of the national arena.

Beyond the strategic masterclasses, Madam Ruth went above and beyond by accompanying Eric to Mang'u School, providing invaluable mentorship, emotional support, and guidance throughout the championship. Her commitment to nurturing holistic talent continues to be a cornerstone of our school's co-curricular excellence.

Looking Forward

Eric's stellar performance at the national level is an inspiration to the entire student body, proving that strategic thinking, patience, and hard work yield remarkable results.

Congratulations, Eric, on this milestone achievement, and thank you, Madam Ruth, for your tireless dedication to student success!
