Mavuradonha High School Alumni Association – The Concept
We are on the move and we gladly invite you to come aboard to take this journey with us! Rationale
The development of a school and its pupils can be achieved through sharing of experience, expertise and resources among the current students, former students, parents and professionals. It therefore calls for the establishment of platforms for these groups or representatives of these group to meet. Over the years and currently we have platforms which involve all the mentioned groups except that of former students. Students are being directly involved in the school development through giving feedback to their parents who meet in general meetings, school prefects as leaders of students also contribute directly to this cause. There has been however no platform where former students have been given a chance to be directly involved in the school development. Former students are the best agents of school development as they have the experience of being students and now parents. This then calls for the former students to come together in the form of OSA and take part in school development. There might have been an OSA but its existence has never been felt. Please go through the following details carefully and tell us what you think.Together,you and me,can make a big difference.No mountain is too high for us to climb.Ngatimboedze tione patinogumira.
