“One hundred years after its establishment, the school (Waddilove High) is still growing and nurturing excellence, making it the school of yesterday, today and tomorrow,” Muzenda said.
“The 2024 results are symptomatic, speaking volume about sound supervision, keeping learners busy through rigorous study and a crop of teachers who are competitive and spurred by the zeal to set the bar high.
“The results also reflect the thrust of MCZ as clearly stated on pillar 5 of its mission titled Excelling Education Service with Article 1 saying quantitative and qualitative growth of schools.
“Quality education for the MCZ-run schools remains at the centre and circumference of its activities.”
Waddilove High School is credited for having a vibrant and robust library facility in the province.
“Waddilove High School has thus lifted the flag of the church, and the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education by continuing to churn out luminaries that are reliable stones in the building of Zimbabwe,” Muzenda added.
“It is not only Waddilove High School. We have Sandringham, which has close to 40 fifteeen pointers and Kwenda Mission which has 29 learners with 15 points.
“The custodians of results, the teachers, also need a standing ovation for working very hard and for being on the ball. Such results are only produced by classroom practitioners who are driven by nothing else except the enthusiasm for quality results.”
