ZCC St Engenas Zivavose High School in Zaka District has emerged a beacon of academic excellence in the district, recording a flawless 100 percent pass rate in the 2024 Advanced Level Zimsec examinations.
The results testify against a popular perception about the potential of rural schools that are often overlooked in academics, but the school exhibited dedication of its learners, teachers and parents.
Zivavose High head Wilbert Dera said the pass rate was a result of collective efforts by different stakeholders.
“We are ecstatic about our 100 percent pass rate, and we owe it to all to the support from the responsible authority, our fantastic teachers who have gone above and beyond to ensure our learners receive the best possible education.
“We are also grateful for the support and encouragement from our community which has played a significant role in our success. Your dedication and passion for education has made the school a shining example of academic excellence,” said Dera.
26 learners sat for the 2024 November session and all of them scooped 9 points and above, with five learners scooping straight As in their three subjects.
Best learners include Ngonidzashe Makweva, Tinashe Alece, Clemence Rwokuda, Takudzwa Zishiri and Moses Gwandiwa who all had 15points.
The 15 pointers were followed by seven learners who got 14 points and the pass rate resonates well with the school’s motto which says ‘Aim at the very best’ which is a true reflection of 2024’s results.
