…introduces affordable, modern boarding facilities
ZAKA – St Engenas ZCC Zivavose High School in Zaka District is celebrating a landmark academic achievement after recording a 100percent pass rate in the 2025 A-Level ZIMSEC examinations where 17 out 24 scooped 10 points and above.
The accomplishment is coupled with a significant infrastructure development resulting in the introduction of low-cost boarding facilities designed to modern standards.
All 24 learners who sat for the 2025 examinations passed with flying colours where the least performer scored seven points with standout performances from Enough Majaura who scooped 20 points, Thodhlana Malvin with 17 points.
Revinia Chikato, Gerry Mubaiwa and Tanaka Govere scooped 15 points while Renias Charuma and Rodrick Vushe scooped 14 Points
The School head Wilbert Dera expressed immense pride in the results, particularly as a rural institution saying the support they got from all stakeholders including the Responsible Authority were the reason behind the success.
“We are thrilled to have achieved these high grades and raise our flag high. Despite the fact that rural schools are often overlooked in academics, our achievement is exceptional.
“The achievement was enabled through collaborative efforts from all our stakeholders mainly our Responsible Authority and parents who pay fees. Special mention also goes to the teachers who worked hard to produce the results we are celebrating,” said Dera.
Building on the success, the school announced the introduction of modern, low-cost boarding facilities for A-Level students in January 2026.
The new units are designed to provide affordable, conducive accommodation and has also introduced Science subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Computer Science, featuring updated infrastructure and amenities that surpass older, outdated boarding schools.
Dera said the expansion was rooted in the school’s core values of nurturing an all rounded learner with moral and Christian values that are key in the world after school.
“At St. Engenas Zivavose High School, we are committed to nurturing not only academic excellence but also character. The introduction of our low-cost boarding facilities is a significant step towards making quality A-level education accessible to more, while ensuring they are nurtured in a Christian environment.
Enrolment is in progress as we offer both day and boarding facilities and our aim is to expand and have boarding facilities for all,” he said.
The school boasts well-equipped science laboratories and a wide range of subjects, supported by a dedicated teaching staff. Parents and guardians are encouraged to enroll their children for the 2026 academic year.
