MASVINGO – Junior High School, one of the most sought after private schools in Masvingo has boosted its fleet of driving school vehicles dedicated to the school to fulfil its promise of making sure that all pupils of age leave the school with a driver’s license.
The school Director Noah Marima confirmed the development and said he was happy that they have managed to fulfil a promise they made to parents of their leaners of purchasing vehicles dedicated to the school.
“We have bought four vehicles at Junior Driving School which will be mainly used for driving lessons at Junior High School as we promised the parents. We discovered that we needed more vehicles for the school so that when the admin gives time for leaners to do practical driving lessons, we take a bigger number at once unlike what we used to do. We used to assign one vehicles the learners and this means it would take more time for leaners to get a chance for practical lessons,” said Marima.
He said currently they had 41 leaners who were studying for provisional licenses and when they finish, more vehicles would be needed for practical lessons to ensure no classroom time is lost.
“We have 41 leaners who are doing theoretical lessons, after they get their provisional licenses, we would need more vehicles for them to do practical lessons and the new vehicles would be deployed there at once,” said Marima.
He added that they had quite a number of leaners who had already gotten their drivers licenses at the school.
Marima went on to say as the school continues to develop, the latest development was a swimming pool which he said is almost complete and is one of the biggest in the province.
“Our swimming pool which is one of the biggest in the province is 90 percent complete. The pool is mainly for sporting activities as we saw it fit to diversify sport to accommodate every leaner,” said Marima.
He went on to say Junior Primary School boarding facilities were almost complete and starting next year January they will be enrolling boarders.
“We are already registering boarders at Junior Primary School for next year January intake, everything will be ready by end of year or even before” said Marima.
Junior High and Junior Primary school are located close to Masvingo-Harare highway in the leafy suburb of Rhodene near the scenic Mangwandi Mountain.
