Did the Academy communicate to those pupils who applied but were not shortlisted for interviews, at least to acknowledge their effort?

Could the academy kindly communicate to those who applied & did interviews the outcome of the interviews. The candidates who did KCPE are reporting to high school this week and those who applied the academy are getting anxious. Thanks

God is good for you have come to help the needy. You helped our own Jacinta Kathina Mutii, she offered a mortivational talk for class seven and Eight At Kiongwe Primary school and Sikomani Primary school. It was an inspiring message we teachers and our school. She later joined us and talked to class Six. As Kathina Mutii last year class teacher I appreciate you for who you are thanks very much. Regards from Josphat Mburu Irungu Mpeketoni Lamu county.
