With the motto, “progress through hardworking” the school managed to give its pupils a push through the times of Zimbabwean struggle.

There have been major developments since the inception of the school amongst them, the building of an infants block in 1995, then the introduction of a special class in 2004. In a bid to fulfill its vision of becoming a “school of the best choice” the school introduced home economics in 2005. The school has an enrolment of 687 pupils from grade 0 through 7.

The desire of the school authorities to have computers inorder to build up pupils, who are computer literate, is being hindered by the lack of funds.

The unavailability of administration offices, teachers’ accommodation, furniture and textbooks are some of the major challenges which are drawing back the standard of the junior school.

Having been established in 1957 with the motto, “In the cross there is salvation” the school focused on empowering the disadvantaged girl-child. Ten years later a primary teacher’s training program was also included as part of activities at the school.

Boys were later enrolled at the school in 1983. Major developments were seen in 2003 as the school purchased 2 computers for administration purposes.

A Toyota hilux, fax machine were bought, 3 offices for teachers and A’ Level hostels were also completed in 2005.

The school currently has an enrolment of 587 boarding and 73 day scholars with a staff of 28.

The development of the school is being retarded by water shortage, theft and staff accommodation. The school is planning to buy a new bus. Major Efforts are being done to introduce computer studies and plumbing of A’ Level hostels.

Ever seen a nurse with so much passion for patients? Sister Angela, the sister-in-charge of the 1945-established Mukaro clinic is one. In order to co-relate with the Ministry Of Health’s Mission Statement in organising the health system so that every Zimbabwean has equitable access to a comprehensive package of health services based on need, the clinic started to offer services such as home based care, orphans and EPIs.

The clinic which currently has capacity to admit 100 patients is always overloaded. With 4 qualified nurses, 2 student nurses and 48 home based care workers the clinic is hardly managing. The sister-in-charge neither take off-days nor leave-days as pressure is always on her shoulders, “it is of no use for me to go to leave and leave people dying”.

Thanks to the Holy Ghost sisters who donated a car in 2003 otherwise critically-ill people who need to be referred to further hospitals could have stumbled.

Water is one of the major problems as they are using buckets to fetch water.

A primary school established in 1943 with classes from Grade 1 to 5. In 1980 the school introduced Grade 6 and 7 classes. Early Childhood development was introduced in 2006 yet there are 7 classrooms. Thus some of the pupils learn outdoors.

There are 6 teachers at the school which is less than the number of classes meaning there are composite classes and hot sitting.

The buildings are also in a dilapidated state and there is need for an administration block.
