The school was established in 1984. It is under the Matobo Rural District council. It is located 12km south of Maphisa along the Bulawayo Road - Sun Yet Sen Road. The school has a large catchment area for students who come for Form 1 places from 9 surrounding primary schools.

Pupil Enrolment:
Pupil enrolment has continued to increase over the past 4 years as indicated by figures below:
 
 

In 1998, the enrolment breakdown was as follows:
 
 

The increase in enrolment however has not been matched by an expansion of the physical infra-structure and increase in school fees. The situation has led tp a critical shortage of textbooks, furniture and classrooms.

Staffing statistics:

The teaching establishment for 1998 stood as follows.
 
 

 School fees structure:

School fees has remained pegged at $95 -00 per child per term since 1993. In 1997, the school applied to the Secretary of Education to have the fees increased to $130 -00 per child per term. The application was approved and in 1998 the fees structure was as follows:-
 
 

 A proposal to introduce a Development Levy of Z$20-00 was vehemently denounced by the local Councillor at an AGM held on 28 June 1997 and so it was not adopted. Recently a full Council meeting of the Matobo Rural District Council turned down a proposal to increase tuition fees from $50-00 to $100-00. School fees remains unacceptably low in the face of increases in the cost of all educational material.

Building phase:

in 1996, the school completed the construction of Phase 4 facilities. These were the laboratory extension. Woodwork classroom and 2 teachers houses. All the three facilities are now complete and being used. However, the laboratory remains empty as no fittings and furniture have been purchased yet. In 1997, the school applied for Phase 5 facilities. Under this phase, the school was to construct a Home Economics block and a teachers' house. The school is presently waiting for the approval of the application so that work on the project can begin.

Teaching science:

Although the laboratory has been fully constructed, it remains empty. In fact it is being used as ordinary classrooms as there is an accute shortage of classrooms. This means science teachers have to carry equipment from one classroom to the other. This has made the teaching of science very difficult indeed. The furnishing and equipping of the science laboratory remains the school's top priority. Presently the school is putting shelves in the storerooms of the lab. These are being put up in the cupboards that were constructed inside the classrooms. The school also got two steel cabinets from CDU which are being used for storage in the lab storerooms. Money paid by the Department of Social Welfare has been earmarked for the furnishing of one part of the lab (senior lab). Unfortunately the department has not paid since 1995. It is this situation which has worsened the school's financial viability. Parents have repeatedly professed poverty everytime they are called upon to pay a levy towards furnishing the laboratory. Donors have also been approached but so far have all been negative.
