Boarders Building Classes 

On Saturday, 24th May 2014 a group of 14 St. Constantine's students visited a Masai village.  They left with the aim to build a pre-school for the village children.  Great was their amazement to find out that this is a woman’s job as it is believed that it is bad luck for men to do any building.  The boys were relieved as they watched how the girls mixed the cow dung and mud mixture for the walls of the pre-school.  The boys left with some men for hunting and experienced how to barbecue a goat on an open bush fire.

Elected to The Round Square Organisation 

The whole school community is delighted to receive the news last week that following our application to, and visit from, the Regional Director of Round Square we have been admitted into the Organisation.St Constantine’s is the first school in Tanzanian to gain membership. For us it means extending our existing commitment of service to others so that it permeates the entire ethos, philosophy and curriculum of the School. Situated as we are, in one of the most beautiful and biogeographically diverse environments in the world and surrounded by villages where basic education is lacking, we see a need to involve ourselves in the communities around us.

The Diary of Kilimanjaro 

I can’t believe it!” my friend exclaimed. “We’re just about to climb the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free standing mountain in the WHOLE WORLD!” I have to admit, I was pretty excited too as we stood at the gate leading to the mountain. . Who knew a small gate could contain an album of unforgettable memories?The first 45 minutes of our climb, 24 of us were bursting with excitement as we chatted away about who we thought were going to make it to the peak. However, our bubbly spirit soon started to wear out despite the shade provided by the dense trees in the forest.  We had stops to catch our breaths.  We had to drink more water and  stop more frequently as the route became harder and steeper.
