  SCHOOL HISTORY

The school was started in February 1925 to cater for disadvantaged, Coloured and Indian children in Mashonaland province of Zimbabwe by the Dominican Sisters. The first Sisters were from the Dominican Convent in Strahfeld Germany. It was opened on a small farm 9km north west of the then Salisbury. The mission then was composed of a small tin hut with two rooms. The main thrust of the Dominican teaching was EDUCATION WITH PRODUCTION whereby children were taught practical skills. The students were involved in the making of bricks and the building of the school structures.

In 1960 the school opened its doors to the local Africa children despite the racial segregation. In 1979 the Africa children made up 40% of the total population and currently they make up about 98%. We still have a small percentage of Coloured, Indian and White students.
