ZVISHAVANE – Devine Oasis Christian College has made its presence felt with an imposingly attractive red and black look which is irresistible for anyone travelling in the direction of Mandava shopping centre.
The college’s enrolment in Zvishavane has now grown from 90 students last year to 150 this year and its branches in Chivi and Gokwe are also doing wonders.
Prosperous Saureya, an English language and History teacher at the college, said the secret behind the college’s success was, among other things, the competence of its teaching staff.
“The college boasts highly qualified teachers who love their jobs. I have really enjoyed my profession for all the two years since I have been here and I am happy that I have produced some distinctions during this period.
“Our fees are very affordable, reflecting our desire to educate the community more than we like to make profit out of it. That is the reasons why our enrolment is rising,” said Saureya.
Geography and Religious Studies teacher, Belinda Dzoro said she was proud to be part of an educational institution that values quality education.
“We don’t discriminate at all; we accept even repeaters and pupils who would have been rejected by other schools due to poor grade seven results. We also want to produce the best out of pupils who would have performed poorly at ‘O’ Level and we always nurture them to pass with flying colours,” Dzoro said.
Ashera Bamule, a lower six student, said she was happy to be associated with Devine Oasis Christian College because, when people least expected, she managed to pass her ‘O’ Levels with 3As, 4 Bs and one C.
Another student, Ottilia Vambisa came as a repeater but managed to pass with 5 As and 2 Bs and is now a lower six student at the college.
Brighton Chibaya, who is doing his upper six, got 4 As, 3 Bs and one C. “I thank Devine Oasis College very much and the director Mr. Vherukai. If I had not got the chance to be here, surely I would not have managed to pass,” said Chibaya.education
