Obambo Secondary School: Locality, Postal Address and Historical Contacts
The earlier directory places the institution at The historical article says South Central Alego Location; the newer school list places the school in Kisumu West and gives the correspondence address as P.O. Box 32, Songohor (historic spelling). No verified active telephone number was recorded in the old entry. Postal destinations do not provide exact road directions, and historical contact details should not be treated as verified school payment channels.
Another public school list uses the name ‘St Marks Sec–Obambo’ for centre 39737009. The shared KNEC code is a useful indicator when checking whether the names refer to the same registered institution, but the official date of any name change has not been established. The original postal address is transcribed as ‘Songohor’, potentially a different spelling from Songhor; it is preserved rather than silently corrected.
Obambo Secondary School: Admissions and Grade 10 Learning Pathways
A learner selecting Obambo Secondary School can cross-check KNEC 39737009 and UIC B67V on the relevant official placement records. Cluster C4 helps identify the school’s published category, but acceptance depends on the applicable national procedures, school capacity, the learner’s preferences and eligibility. Families should request the latest reporting instructions and supporting-document requirements from authorised sources.
Senior-school pathways under Kenya’s competency-based curriculum include STEM, Social Sciences, and Arts and Sports. The published school classification does not establish which exact subject combinations Obambo Secondary School offers, so students interested in specific sciences, humanities, arts or sports should check the school’s approved options before making a final selection. The availability of any particular learning resources should likewise be checked rather than inferred.
Obambo Secondary School: Day-School Life and Learner Welfare
Families should verify the institution by KNEC number 39737009 and UIC B67V before relying on admission information. The C4 mixed day classification implies planning a daily commute rather than assuming school accommodation is available.
The current published listing identifies Obambo Secondary School as a day school, not a boarding school. Families should consider transport arrangements, distance, school start and dismissal hours, any meals provided and communication about learner welfare. Ask the school about safe arrival and departure procedures, extracurricular opportunities, academic support and any specific learning accommodations needed by the student.
Obambo and Obede have consecutive centre codes but remain separate schools. The code is important because similar school and locality names can create confusion in third-party online directories.
