ABOUT US

Materi Girls Centre started in April 1973, mainly through the joint initiatives of Father Andrew Botta, a dynamic Consolata missionary, and Brother John Koczka, an American educator who previously taught at and headed Nkubu High School in the 1960s and early 1970s.

In the first year, the school was located within Materi Catholic Mission with a small Form One intake of 26 girls –really, young women. But given the fact that more land and facilities were necessary, especially an improved water supply, Brother John moved the school up to its present site, near Tunyai and the Kithino River, on a 205-acre plot. But before leaving the catholic mission, construction had started on a girls’ dormitory, a building that later became the Materi Boys High School tuition block and administrative office.

Materi believes in a holistic approach to education. We believe that a young girl learns from her total experiences within the school setting. As such, we attempt to address the religious, academic, social, psychological, physical and cultural development of that lady, this being done through the school’s programmes, courses of study and policies.

The mission of Materi Girl’s Centre and all her community-oriented activities is to strengthen human beings, especially young girls and future mothers, through a holistic approach to education, one fostering academic excellence, sound health care, life-sustaining employment skills, the protection of the environment, and spiritual, moral, psychological and physical growth.
