VAINONA High School on Friday launched a fundraising drive to generate funds for the school’s revitalisation ahead of its 50th anniversary celebration later this year.
The event was attended by scores of former learners. Speaking at the launch, headmaster Dr Hapias Dhakwa said the golden jubilee celebrations will be held on August 7.
“As the headmaster of Vainona High School, I am happy to roll out the 50-year golden jubilee of community empowerment through education,” he said.
“We are going to start a series of activities that will culminate in the main event. So, between now and August, a lot of projects and activities that include a fundraising dinner, commemoration of former staff members, and students will be done to raise funds.”
The funds, he said, will be used to regenerate the school’s infrastructure which is now dilapidated.
Former student, Mrs Shupikai Chinembiri-Mukuyu, expressed her excitement ahead of the golden jubilee event. “It has been long since I finished school,” she said. “Now that I am here, I have seen a lot of infrastructure that needs a lot of improvement and this will surely go a long way in turning around the situation.”
Student representative and Member of the Junior Parliament for Mount Pleasant Constituency, Shana Ropafadzo Mucharwiyo, said she was looking forward to the celebrations and rejuvenation of the school.
