Well I got another surprise recently, when I was informed that one of the teachers at Pakati Primary school has been promoted.
One of our key contacts at the school has been Mr Johannes Chorichi, one of who’s responsibilities was as sports coach. He can be seen in the video we had made to thank Scunthorpe United for their donation of football shirts back in 2019:
Mr Chorichi joined Pakati Primary school in 2010, and became a senior teacher. He also graduated with a Bachelor of Education degree in Sociology in 2020, after which he became Acting Deputy Head from 2021.
He teaches Grade 7 pupils, and was a national Shona examiner from 2014 to 2020, and from 2021 is a national examinations monitor.
He has also been imvolved in school sports & games, including Chess & Handball. Chess – produced pupils who participated in district & provincial tournaments. Handball – district champions in 2017 (boys) & 2018 (girls).
Lastly, he says that he likes nyama (meat) & was the chairperson of the beef committee!
The school threw a farewell party for Mr Chorichi & his wife (who is a former teacher there).
Mr Mahachi (Head, right, blue shirt) attended with other staff members.
His promotion is to substantive Deputy Head at St. Cyprian in Marondera. Congratulations from Friends of Pakati!
