“A new four-bedroom house is now available (for our teachers), enhancing our ability to attract and retain top teaching talent,” Mundondo said.
“On digitalisation, six classrooms have been equipped with digital technology, enhancing the learning experience.
“On toilet repairs, we’ve renovated our toilet facilities, ensuring a clean and hygienic environment. However our long-term plan is to have a completely new block in the foreseeable future.
“On the iconic science laboratory, our new laboratory is taking shape, currently at roof level, promising a state-of-the-art space for scientific exploration.”
He urged learners, particularly boys, to be responsible and not vandalise school property.
“Reports of vandalism of property are rampant at the boys section be it plumbing, electricals, toilet equipment, windows or doors. Let’s cast away this destructive spirit.”
Mundondo further said they were committed to “providing world-class education”.
School head Maone Veremu said the school had consistently maintained an average of over 81% pass rate for O Level since 2019, while the A Level pass rate had been maintained at 98% since 2020.
He indicated that enrolment stands at 1 300 learners and he lamented some of the challenges they are facing, like accommodation shortage for teachers, the need for more teachers, need to expand the girls hostels and also construction of a hall to cater for activities like speech and prize-giving events, and for use for examination purposes.
Goromonzi South lawmaker Washington Zhanda said teaching was a calling that required determination, passion and self-drive, adding that success was about “mindset, believing in yourself and respect for others”.
He donated US$500 prize money for the best learner in each category.
