Work began in January 1934 and was led by masons from the Kabete Industrial Training Depot. The school began operations in July 1934 [2] Some 300 pupils from across the district were invited to sit an entrance examination for the first class in Standard III, to be admitted in January 1935, competing for 60 slots in the school. [3] The pupils who passed were mainly Luo, from Luo Nyanza, so the district commissioner ordered a retake of the examination to ensure that more Kisii and Kuria pupils would be admitted to the school.
