College to embrace arts and culture in curriculum

The college has over the years produced impressive at results at O- and A-Level.
In an interview, the college principal, Eben Ben Kawadza said the college will this year broaden its curriculum to include arts and culture to benefit those students who were good in the arts.
He said the college realised that individuals could earn a living from a career in music, dance and film hence the need to promote arts and culture.
“Many a time, parents have a tendency of mainly focusing on students who are academically gifted and as a college we want to change this mindset.
Mr Kawadza said the college will introduce afternoon classes for poetry, basketball and traditional dance.
He said recently the college received a letter from writers club focusing on Black history inviting its students to participate in a writing competition and this was inline with its new thrust.
“We recently received a letter from a writers club which focuses on Black history and some of our students will therefore take part in club’s writing competition,” said Kawadza.
“We have managed to consolidate our academic profile of students excelling in a number of subjects especially at A Level and we want to broaden this by introducing the arts.
“We have three students namely Thabiso Makhurane who attained three distinctions in Geography, Sociology and History, Tafadzwa Jacha who attained an A in Business Studies, an A in Economics and a B in Accounts Bongekile Ndlovu got an A in Mathematcis, a B in Economics and a B in Business Studies among other students who also did well.
The principal said there was need for the Ministry of Education Sport, Arts and Culture to also recognise private institutions that were producing good results at both O- and A-Level.
