Mazabuka Girls Secondary School

OBITUARY

It is with heavy hearts that the Mazabuka Girls Secondary School family mourns the passing of our former colleague, Mr. Sydney Mutenguna. He died this morning in a fatal road accident.

Mr. Mutenguna was more than just a teacher of History and Civic Education, he was a mentor, a guide, and a friend to many. His dedication to his work and the way he inspired learners and colleagues alike left an imprint that will not be forgotten.

At the time of his passing, he was serving as Deputy Head Teacher at Mbayamusuma Secondary School, continuing the same selfless commitment to education and community that defined his career. His loss is deeply felt not only by his family and friends, but also by the countless students whose lives he touched and the teaching fraternity that respected him.

We extend our deepest condolences to his loved ones. May they find strength in the memories of his kindness, his wisdom, and the legacy he leaves behind.

Rest in peace, Mr. Mutenguna. Your light will continue to shine in the lives you shaped.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Mrs. Nyirenda, who taught Business Studies at Mazabuka Girls Secondary School. Affectionately known as “Exe” by our girls, she touched countless lives with her dedication, wisdom, and warmth. She retired from service in 2007.

Her legacy as a teacher and mentor will forever remain in our hearts.

May her soul rest in eternal peace. 💐

Today, Mazabuka Girls Secondary School had the honour of welcoming back one of its own, Mr. Thomas, who served the institution with distinction from 1984 to 1995 as Head of Department – Languages. His wife who wasn't physically present today was the Head of Department – Natural Sciences.
Accompanied by his daughter, a former pupil of the school, the visit became an emotional reunion filled with cherished memories, laughter, and heartfelt reflections. As they shared stories with members of staff, they fondly recalled former colleagues, unforgettable school events, and the special moments that made Mazabuka Girls a second home.
The emotions were especially overwhelming for Mr. Thomas’ daughter Rosemary, who reflected on how the school laid the foundation for her life and played a significant role in shaping the person she is today. Her gratitude and affection for the institution were evident, reminding us all of the lasting impact a school can have on its learners.
Moments like these are a beautiful testament to the enduring legacy of Mazabuka Girls Secondary School, a place where memories are made, lives are shaped, and bonds remain strong long after the school years have passed.

What an unforgettable experience for our learners! Rising as early as 03:00hrs, our girls toured the ZNBC studios and stepped into the exciting world of broadcasting. 🎙📺

This visit wasn’t just about seeing cameras and microphones, it was about dreaming bigger, exploring future careers in media and technology, and realizing that with confidence and hard work, their voices can reach the nation and beyond. ✨

We are proud of our learners for their enthusiasm and curiosity, and grateful to ZNBC for the warm welcome and inspiration.

The pastoral visit of the Right Reverend Bishop Raphael Mweempwa, Bishop of Monze Diocese, to Mazabuka Girls Secondary School this afternoon was a truly inspiring occasion. From his arrival, the school community welcomed him with joy and deep respect, creating an atmosphere of unity and celebration.

In his address, Bishop Mweempwa emphasized the transformative power of education, reminding learners that academic success must be accompanied by values such as discipline, honesty, humility, and compassion. He encouraged the girls to aim not only for professional achievement but also to become responsible citizens guided by integrity and service.

He spoke passionately about the Church’s role in promoting holistic education that nurtures both mind and character, while praising teachers for their dedication in shaping learners academically, morally, and socially.

A highlight of the visit was his warm interaction with learners and staff, where his humility and fatherly guidance left a lasting impression. He expressed pride in the school’s achievements, commending its discipline, academic excellence, and the impact of its former pupils across Zambia.

Today was a productive and inspiring day at Mazabuka Girls Secondary School as we held our one-day workshop facilitated by the school deputy head teacher Mr Shimalungwe and the CPD coordinator Mrs Mulemwa.
Our teachers took time to reflect, learn, and grow together—focusing on strengthening teaching and learning practices. The workshop covered key areas such as understanding Competency-Based Education (CBE) principles and diagnosis, effective lesson planning, and the pillars of effective teaching. Participants also engaged in sessions on monitoring through GPS, assessment and evaluation, as well as content planning and mapping
The group sessions were especially engaging, with everyone sharing ideas and practical experiences.
It was a great opportunity to strengthen our commitment to delivering quality education and better learning outcomes for our learners. 📚✨

Today, Easter Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection of Christ — the very foundation of our faith and hope. It is a day of renewal, joy, and gratitude. And in that same spirit, we also celebrate someone very dear to us: our Headteacher, Mrs. Milimo, on her special day.

At Mazabuka Girls Secondary School, Madam Milimo’s leadership has been a true blessing. She has guided us with vision and dedication, turning challenges into opportunities and dreams into reality. Her commitment has brought growth through developmental projects, strong academic results at Grade 9 and 12, and a teaching staff that is motivated and united. She shows us every day that leadership is about service and belief in people.

On this joyful day, we thank you, Madam, for inspiring us, for building a family where every girl feels she belongs, and for leading us with love and strength. 💖 From all of us at Mazabuka Girls Secondary School: Happy Birthday, Mrs. Milimo! May your year be filled with joy, laughter, and continued success. 🌸

Yesterday was one of those days that remind you why learning should go beyond the classroom. We took our Form 2 learners on a study tour to Kariba North Bank Power Station in Siavonga and honestly, it was an eye-opening experience for everyone.
Seeing their excitement as theory turned into reality was priceless. What we've been discussing in class suddenly came alive right in front of them, from how scientific investigations guide real-world decisions, to the importance of industrial safety in such powerful environments. It didn’t stop there; they also got to appreciate how waste is managed responsibly and how electricity is generated and transmitted to power our daily lives.
It’s moments like these that spark curiosity, inspire dreams, and show them that what they’re learning truly matters. This is what the new CBC curriculum is all about—learning by seeing, doing, and experiencing.
And judging by their smiles, questions, and enthusiasm… it’s working. 💡
