It was song and dance at ACK St.Luke Primary and Junior Secondary School, Birbiriet after the school performed well in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education.

Speaking to the head Teacher Mrs. Emily Kiptoo the results were gotten through hard work and determination.

The school managed to get a mean score of 397 compared to 2022 where they got 384.
