National youth day

Zimbabweans commemorate the birth of their former president, Robert Gabriel Mugabe, on National Youth Day. Everybody celebrates this day differently—friends, family, and even the school.

The kids at Mwashita Academy have a strong affinity for sports, and it is impossible to ignore sports while discussing Mwashita Academy students. The principal, Mr. Ndebvu, declared that the students would choose what needed to be done on this particular day. So many different thoughts were presented. They proposed soccer, rugby, tug-of-war, and sack races. The suggestions were well received by our teachers. The teachers assigned Hannah and Kavuru the task of putting the ideas in order, albeit in a constrained amount of time.

All students, including the competitors, were beaming with happiness. Sack race started the day with classes battling against each other. Naturally, each class selected their top competitors, and it was entertaining to watch. Additionally, there was egg racing, in which participants persistently dropped their eggs. The smart ones were those who crossed the finish line without dropping an egg.

Our ball games began shortly after ten o’clock. Everyone appreciated rugby that was played later on. Kutendanashe Kavuru and Kevin Madzirerwa truly proved themselves to be players of note. Women soccer was also an eye-catching event . Despite the intense heat of the sun, Tiarra Mhene persevered and led her squad to a spectacular victory.

We then watched a late-night movie to round up the day. We watched Lift , which had everyone on the edges of their seats. It was a truly fascinating film. To all the glory, the day was incredibly thrilling and concluded with beaming faces.

The Octa Association media club would like to greet Paris Chikomba and Praisemore Mazvimbakupa a happy belated birthday on behalf of the entire school.

Mwashita Academy Media News Article Number 3

13 February 2024

Mwashita Academy is an excellent institution because every year is unique in its existence. It has prosperous and joyful recollections. I’ll be providing commentary on the preceding week in this article.

Once more, this last month has seen a wide range of activities from different students. We had Shumba and Humba, our two residences. We engaged in harsh activities, but ultimately paid a price. We held our interhouse tournament on Thursday, February 1st, and everyone’s true talent was evident.Despite their greatest efforts, only one home could prevail. Students received their rewards on Tuesday, and Shumba “Roars with Power” was the winning house. The medal recipients were photographed in their school uniforms, adorned with their medals.

Students were getting ready for the end-of-month test by the end of the day. We had to demonstrate our diligence and commitment, which must lead to the teaching of teachers. A large portion of the discussion around education nowadays tends to focus on how to get students ready for challenges and chances to reflect on what they have learned in class. Strong teamwork, analytical organizational abilities, and fluency in English are necessary in today’s global business. Mwashita Academy wants all of its students to get to an A+ grade. We organized that, every two weeks on Saturdays, we would present movies for students to unwind because, as young, creative, self-driven individuals with a strong work ethic, we want to contribute to Mwashita.

Mr. Tafangenyasha arranged for the pupils to witness a soccer match on Wednesday, the sixth. Nigeria was pitted against R.S.A.{REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA}. Unfortunately, Nigeria won the soccer competition despite the wagers placed by the students on which team would win. We rescheduled our study for Thursday, and everything went smoothly. Pupils were examining

Bullying is one of the biggest obstacles to students building meaningful, caring relationships with one another. There is nothing more detrimental to people’s wellbeing than this. And nothing is worse for the results of schooling. I’ve seen that everyone is concerned about the aggressive behavior that students exhibit in the classroom. Most students are either directly or indirectly involved in this circumstance. This experience has an impact on students as well as educators, parents, and school governing bodies. This conduct regularly impedes the efficient operation of the school and creates an environment that is unsuitable for instruction and learning. It endangers everyone’s life and makes teaching and learning extremely challenging.

It was declared that Mwashita Academy does not tolerate bullying and that we strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere for our students. Teaching pupils to treat one another with more respect is, I would venture to assume, the most significant strategy to improve the Academy’s success in education rankings. Thus, we must collaborate as we did last week in order to accomplish our aims. I’ve also come to understand that warm human interactions and high-quality instruction are the two main components that matter in creating effective institutions.

In closing, I would like to give the Almighty all the praise and credit for Mr. Tafangenyasha and Ms. Mapudzi’s accountability for the fantastic week we had. In addition, I’d like to wish Valentino Nzvatu, on February 14, and Lerato Bwanya on 16, a beautiful birthday.

Mwashita Academy Media News Article Number 2

08 February 2024 Inter-houses

We would like to commend the Mwashita Academy pupils for their outstanding involvement in the sporting events. The day got off to a good start and seemed to have a spark of enthusiasm that other days lacked. We began with an opening mass that truly brought elegance to the upcoming activities.

On that day, there were fights and debates about who would win—Humba or Shumba—everywhere. You could sense the track runners’ excitement, energy, and resolve to destroy their rivals, as felt by the house captains, Kutendanashe Kavuru for Humba and Joel Namate for Shumba. For the first five rounds, we had both juniors and seniors. Both predicted and unexpected victories occurred, and it was fascinating to watch people you would at least anticipate to be involved. As Emilia Chdambuka won the junior and senior five rounds, she shook the grounds. Prince Dzapasi appeared to be a clear winner in the eyes of the boys.

People were inspired to observe and engage as the day got off to such a powerful start. astonishing findings were made in the field events. For example, in the shot put, an inexperienced player named Anotidaishe Kurumbidza threw the furthest and most astonishing distances—10 meters—followed by Nokutenda Wenzira, who threw roughly 7 meters. It was both satisfying and frightening to watch this. However, there were still whispers in field events regarding Wayne Mvundura and Nokutenda Wenzira’s superior javelin thrower. It was worth seeing these two, who are undoubtedly the greatest in the entire school, live up to the rumors on this particular day. Since discuss is a sport that demands a lot of strength and momentum, which Joel Namate, Kutendanashe Kavuru, and Walter Matongera demonstrated admirably, it was also quite enjoyable to watch. Surprisingly, girls also took part. The girls truly astounded everyone with their strength.

Returning to the track events, it was astounding how resilient the participants were. There were relays as well as 100, 200, and 400 meters. In the 100 meters, Joel Namate won first position, followed by Kutendanashe Kavuru in second and our young star Ray in third. He appeared as expected and amazed us all. In the 200 meters, Joel Namate and Kutendanashe Kavuru placed first and third, respectively, behind Tamsom Mudzingwa. In the women’s division, Kelly Mbendone slid to third place, Anita Chimbadzo battled for second place, and Keisha Mvududu retained her title in the 100m. Alisha Mazvidzwa came in second, while Ashley Beta came in third in Telmore Chingwa. Tanyaradzwa Ruchiyo took first position in the 100m competition for senior girls, followed by Hanna Mudzengerere in second place and Nokutenda Chiyadzwa in third.

Without the greatest DJs, Albert Muyengwa, Desire Tichazorwa, Prince Banana, and Takudzwa Gonye, the event would undoubtedly not be as enjoyable as it was portrayed. People were unable to remain motionless in one spot as a result of the lighting of the grounds. It was such a successful day. In a competition there’s always a winner and loser, there is always the defeated and the defeaters.

Nokutenda Wenzira finished third in every junior boys event, followed by Emmanuel Nybvura in second place and the well-deserved Anotidaishe Karumbidzo, sometimes known as Bolt (so named for obvious reasons), in first position. Kelly Mbendane placed third in all junior girls competitions, followed by Keisha Mvududu, who was surprisingly devoured by Emmillia Chadambuka, also known as Jack Sparo, despite being able to maintain her tack record as queen.

Everyone was eagerly awaiting the senior boys’ and girls’ results. In the female division, Anashe Nyamunda placed third, Nyasha Gotega placed second, and Friendly Kuudzirwe placed first. Walter finished third in the boys’ competition, Wayne Mvundure placed second, and Prince Dzapasi earned the deserving first place. His moniker accurately conveyed the gravity of the situation by demonstrating his status as the “Prince” of the track. I suppose that although our previous track king and queen participated, they were unable to rise to the competition.

The most anticipated outcome was Shumba, the winning house. A round of applause for their excellent work. Although no team wins by accident, Joel Namate, a talented captain, guided his squad to victory.

In other developments, we would like to greet the happiest belated birthdays to Pride Zimunya, Makanaka Mbaiwa, and Mazvita Mwashita. We also greet Shumira Matsika, Lerrato Bwanya, and Rufaro Zikayo a good birthday on their impending birthdays.
