End of term at Pakati Secondary school

Greetings all, welcome back to Friends of Pakati for another blog.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I received the following from Mr Chizenya, Head of Pakati Secondary school, regarding the end of the winter term.

“Good afternoon, Mr Walker. We closed today for the August holiday. We had a great time today as we announced the learners who passed at least 5 subjects at each secondary school level. We appreciate these learners with notebooks, pens, and book covers. We hope that this initiative will help boost the school’s pass rate.”

Schools re-open again soon, and it is a very important term for the Grade 7 students at Pakati Primary school, as well as the Form 4’s at Pakati Secondary. They sit their end-of-year exams as they complete their studies at both schools.

On behalf of Friends of Pakati, I would like to wish every success with their exams, & hope they can be inspired by so many of our former students, several of whom have featured in out blogs over the past 7 years. GOOD LUCK!!!!
