NDARAMA High School’s students know that hard work is their ticket to academic success, says the school’s Headmaster Oddy Matongo.
The 2024 O-Level and A-Level results have demonstrated the school’s hard work and resilience after facing some challenges last year.
He said the remarkable achievements demonstrate their commitment to academic excellence. The school has a vibrant Music Department, which scooped the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe High School gold medal for 2022.
The School has a dedicated staff of 67 teachers, 14 non-teaching and 12 attaches.
Mr Matongo said the school is shaping a vision of academic success for all students.

CHALLENGES
Fee collection remains a concern, impacting our projects.
Inadequate classrooms resulting in hot-sitting.
We need specialist rooms, a computer laboratory, and a school hall.
Transportation and water supply remain pressing issues.
WATER CRISIS
Ndarama High School lacks a reliable water supply which affects day-to- day operations, especially hygiene and sanitation.
Despite these challenges, we have made significant strides:
The recent installation of Starlink Internet enhances our digital capabilities.
We plan to empower teachers with cell phones and laptops for research.
