Hi everyone! Now that schools are back for the first term of 2024, I have been sent some pictures from both Pakati Secondary and also Mapanga Primary, both in Ward 14 of Murewa District. This week we feature Pakati, and our thanks go to Mrs Munatswa for them & for the information.
This term, the sports focus is on Athletics, and the students at Pakati are preparing the internal competitions, to see whoo will represent the school in the forthcoming Zonal sports, against other local schools.
Back when the Author taught there, we competed against schools at Hokodzi, Rota, Chidiya & Dombodzvuku. I believe there are some changes, & we now compete with Mabika & St Paul’s at Musami.
The area has often produced good athletes, as I remembered Juliana Chroodza getting through Zonal, District (at Murewa), Provincial (at Marondera) & National (in Harare) competitions as a high jumper. See here: https://friendsofpakati.com/2021/08/11/pakati-sports-star-profile-of-juliana-chiroodza/
Above are 2 short videos of the students trials & training for this terms athletics at Pakati Secondary school.
Also, the SDC (School Development Committee) had a meeting with parents & staff recently.
Mrs Munatswa tells me that… ‘As a school we managed to buy a printer. The administrators, and the SDC presented the printer to the parents’
Gteat to see the school back after the summer break – things ate different in the Southern Hemisphere!. It is important for us at Friends of Pakati to raise more funds to get more IT out to the two Pakati schools this year, so please spread the word in amy way you can, and see if people can find a few £’s or $’s or €’s to donate.
