MY JOURNEY, ,MY FINAL SCHOOL YEAR

MY FINAL SCHOOL YEAR AT ZIPHAKAMISENI SECONDARY, MPUMALANGA.

Ziphakamiseni Secondary School is a local government school situated at Kwamhlanga, Phola Park under Nkangala Circuit Region.

 

Phola Park  is a  small developing rural area also  a culturally diverse area, one area made up of many people. Phola Park had only 3 primary schools and no secondary school, it was then Ziphakamiseni Secondary School was established in 2004 yet it is still the only secondary school in the area. However the area is developing as it has community infrastructures such as a hall, orphanage projects and a rehab, citizens have an access to services such as water, electricity and sanitation .Though Rural areas are always discouraged yet rural school districts have a much better teacher-to-student ratio than suburban and urban school districts, which is one of the key identifiers of a successful schooling experience, I had a successful schooling experience in that very same rural area.

THE UNIFORM MATCHES WITH THE ENTRACE,( RED AND NAVY BLUE).

In Grade 12 I did Mathematical Literacy, Geography, Agricultural Sciences, Tourism (my favourite), English First Additional Language, IsiNdebele Home Language and Life Orientation as core subjects. My favourite subjects were Mathematical Literacy and Tourism. I am what I am today because of this school, it taught me many things in life, mostly it taught me to be an independent person I am.I started attending school at Ziphakamiseni Secondary School 2012 and matriculated last year (2015). Like the school’s slogan “RISE HIGH”, indeed we are rising high.

Let me talk about technology, we didn't have an access to technology. We only relied on textbooks for information, If we had to research, we were suppose to visit internet cafe for internet access.The was only one computer was for office and staff members of the school used for administration purpose. I think it could have been even much better if we were having an access to technology.
