EDUCATIONAL VISIT TO ZODIAK BROADCASTING STATION AND NKHOMA MUSEUM
On 12th June 2026, students from Holy Family Secondary School, located in Bowe, Traditional Authority Mnyanja, Village Headman Mende, Kasungu District, embarked on an educational visit to Zodiak Broadcasting Station in Area 47, Lilongwe, and Nkhoma Museum in Lilongwe.
The purpose of the trip was to complement classroom learning with practical experiences and expose students to different career opportunities and historical knowledge.
The educational visit was organized by the Humanities Department under the guidance of the Humanities Coordinator, Mr. B. Ngwera. The initiative was led by the Humanities teacher, Mr. OG Sandram, in collaboration with the Geography teacher, Miss V. Jere, and the Languages teacher, Mr. C. Kaboma. Their combined efforts ensured that students gained meaningful academic, cultural, and career-related experiences beyond the classroom.
At Zodiak Broadcasting Station, students toured various departments and learned how radio and television programmes are produced and broadcast. They also interacted with media professionals who shared valuable knowledge about the media industry. During the visit, Mr. Owen Lupesya encouraged students to work hard in all subjects, especially Languages and Mathematics, emphasizing that these subjects are important foundations for success in many professions, including journalism and broadcasting.
At Nkhoma Museum, students explored Malawi's educational, cultural, and religious history through a variety of historical artefacts and records. The visit helped learners appreciate the contribution of early missionaries to education in Malawi. Students were also encouraged to work hard in History so that they can better understand and preserve the nation's heritage.
The educational tour brought learning to life by allowing students to experience in practice what they normally learn in class. It broadened their understanding, stimulated their curiosity, and inspired them to work harder towards achieving their academic and career goals.
As organisers of this educational visit, we sincerely thank our Principal, Fr. Callistus Obiekwe, and the entire school management team for their unwavering support and for granting students this valuable opportunity. Their vision, dedication and commitment to holistic education continue to create an environment where learners are encouraged to excel both inside and outside the classroom. We are grateful for their leadership and continued investment in the future of our students.
Holy Family Secondary School remains committed to providing quality education and meaningful learning experiences that prepare students to become responsible and productive citizens.
Education is not only what is learned in the classroom; it is also what is discovered through experience
