Kwekwe High School is a high school in the city of Kwekwe, in the Midlands region of Zimbabwe (the school was known until 1982 as Que Que High School). The school was founded in the early twentieth century, and originally mostly served the children of white employees of the Globe and Phoenix gold mine and of industries based on nearby deposits of iron and chromite, along with the children of local white farmers and ranchers. The school was opened to students of all races in 1980. It has some 1,500 students and 50 teachers, with six of them teaching mathematics. The class sizes are usually between 40 to 43 students per class.
In 2004, the school hosted finals of both the National Association of School Heads (NASH) middle and high school soccer tournament and the Olivine Industries Schools National Netball Tournament .
Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“Life! Life! Don’t let us go to life for our fulfilment or our experience. It is a thing narrowed by circumstances, incoherent in its utterance, and without that fine correspondence of form and spirit which is the only thing that can satisfy the artistic and critical temperament. It makes us pay too high a price for its wares, and we purchase the meanest of its secrets at a cost that is monstrous and infinite.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
