MASVINGO – Helen McGhie
Primary School this year produced a remarkable 98.96 percent pass rate at Grade
7, setting a new unmatched record of 19 pupils with five units.
Of
the 19 pupils who obtained five units each, 14 are girls; a development which
augurs well for efforts being made to promote the girl child.
The
19 superstars are Audrey Chiguma, Ropafadzo Chivandire, Makanaka Hlasi, Lorreta
Kundanai, Kwashiwa Wayne, Rufaro Mhariwa, Tariro Rwafa, Esther Taendesa,
Makwara Tapiwa, Nenyasha Manyemwe, Jeremiah Mhlanga and Peace Nyaguze.
The
school had never exceeded 14 units in any of its previous examinations, and the
latest achievement will help cement the school’s record as one of the best in Masvingo
province and the whole country.
A
total number of 96 pupils set for the 2019 grade seven exams.
A
total of 17 pupils had six units, 16 had seven, nine had eight, four had nine and
three had 10 units.
From Grade
7 Red were Shalom Chakauya, Rutendo Daka, Laura Gore, Anopa Mpepetwa, Mutayi
Nokutenfa, Tafadzwa Tazvivinga and Takunda Saungweme.
The
school organised a special dinner for the outstanding pupils and their parents
at Bethany House last week where school head Sheilla Deve, teachers and pupils narrated
the journey that led to the results.
Deve
said she was happy with the results which she attributed to hard work and
enduring team spirit across the board.
“We
are very happy with the results which we got this year. The results indicate hard
work from all our stakeholders. The teachers, SDC, ancillary staff and the
pupils themselves worked very hard.
“We
used to have a challenge in the Shona subject but with the help of the parents,
we managed to get a consultant who helped our learners and it has yielded good
results,” said Deve.
She
challenged the 2020 Grade 7 class and their teachers to aim for better
outcomes.
Grade
7 Green teacher, Peuse Zuze said the 2019 results will inspire them to do
better for the sake of the growth of the school’s brand.
“I
think we have super parents. They provided stationery for printing out mock
exams which helped to prepare pupils for the final exams. It was a tough game
to get where we are now,” Zuze said.
Ruzai
Magumise, a grade Seven Red teacher said there was need for continuous
improvement through closer working relationships between teachers, parents and
their children.
Other
Grade 7 teachers are Catherine Muzondo who teaches a special class and Farirai
Hamandishe who teaches Agriculture.
