Harare, 07 December, 2023 / 8:40 pm (ACI Africa).
The decision that members of the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops' Conference (ZCBC) made to turn St. Augustine’s Seminary into a mixed Secondary School has been implemented, and first enrolment to the Catholic institution of learning is ongoing.
In a Wednesday, December 6 report, the Secretary General of ZCBC, Fr. Tryvis Moyo, outlines the implementation of the Catholic Bishops’ decision on the Major Seminary that had not been in operation since 2016.
Fr. Moyo says, “The Bishops decided at their administrative meeting held in Masvingo in August 2023 to turn the former seminary into a private college. Since then, efforts have been made to renovate the place, hire the school head, an administrator, and teachers.”
“St. Augustine’s school will open its doors in January 2024 with Forms 1,2,3 and 5. The recruitment of the school head and teachers is complete and the school is busy with the enrolment of learners,” he adds about the Catholic entity in Zimbabwe’s Bulawayo Archdiocese.
The Secretary General of ZCBC continues, “Although the school is located in the Archdiocese of Bulawayo, it belongs to the Bishops’ Conference.”
