TRIANGLE – Tongaat Hullet Zimbabwe (THZ) recently hailed Mufakose High, one of its schools in Triangle, over its remarkable academic performance as well as capital projects which have improved the sustenance of the school as they recently celebrated the purchase of a 72-seater Asia Star bus.
THZ run Mufakose High School in Triangle recently held its bus reception ceremony under the theme ‘success, a commitment to excellency’ where the newly appointed Chiredzi District School’s Inspector (DSI), Takaendesa Hove was the guest-of-honour.
Addressing parents and children at Mufakose recently, THZ Industry and Corporate Affairs Manager, Patrick Mangwiro hailed the school over its remarkable academic performance as well as parents for supporting the school on its capital projects and purchase of the bus which he said will help the school on its academic tours as well as generating capital through hire.
“This demonstrates a good working partnership between the Responsible Authority, School Development Committee and the school. I would like also to recognize support from parents who made this gesture a success, you never lost a minute to get aboard.
“We have witnessed fantastic results here and well-done. This wave must continue going,” said Mangwiro.
Mufakose High School, which was established in 1989 has a total enrolment of 1046 which is manned by 40 teachers. It was the best performing school in the district in 2023 on Advanced Level results as they had 20 students with 15 points and above while its ordinary level came third after Chiredzi Government and Hippo High consecutively.
Mufakose High School Headmaster, Severino Bvunyenge said the purchase of the bus will go a long way towards the fulfilment of the heritage based curriculum where leaners go for educational tours as required by the curriculum.
Bvunyenge said the purchase of the bus added to their capital projects after broilers, layers, sugarcane farming and a horticultural garden.
“The purchase of the bus has enabled us to meet the requirements of the heritage based curriculum where we will go for educational trips, which was once expensive for us when we used to hire for transport.
“The Ministry urges schools to have more than 6 capital projects and the bus will be one of them. We have layers, broilers, a sugarcane farm and a horticultural garden on our list,” said Bvunyenge.
DSI Hove motivated learners to dream for success as nothing comes on a silver platter.
“Dreams have been transformed into a reality here at Mufakose High School through purchasing this bus. I also need you children to dream big, don’t just seat here and thing and think everything comes on a silver platter.
“The Heritage-based curriculum encompass that children have educational tours, which is an extension of the classroom work and I am happy that this bus will make that a success,” said Hove.
