It was a colorful day at Nemamwa Primary School on November 25, as learners and members of staff were awarded for excellence in academics and other disciplines.
Alfred Mombo the guest of honour urged parents, learners and teachers to embark on collective work for the success of the school.
“I urge you parents to ensure that your children are not left isolated from other learners by way of attending school with no books, no pencil, long hair and other misplacements which make them feel inferior.
“Create a pro-learning environment for your children to give the head and staff a chance to progressively play around with their minds to transform them into better people,” said Mombo.
Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education Schools Inspector Otilia Maramwidze representing Masvingo District Schools Inspector Ishmael Chigaba also urged parents to contribute positively to the development of the school for children to be able to participate in competence based learning.
Learners were rewarded in academia for most of the key subjects as well as the recognizing the most improved students, smartest, early comers as well as well behaved.
Teachers were also awarded for their hard work as well while school prefects were also honored.
The school experienced higher learner absenteeism which the head teacher Shadreck Mhuru bemoaned.
Councillor Mudamburanwa together with the guest of honour and junior department teacher in charge Kupairima volunteered to pay fees for some of the outstanding kids at the school.
Some of the outstanding kids who bagged most of the awards include Valerie Zibwowa, Jennifer Charutsa Samuel Rwodzi to mention but a few.
