It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The High School began operations in 1991 with three Form 1 classes on the Gateway Primary School premises. The founder headmaster, Paul Revell, and his secretary Jenny Chibota occupied what was then a gardener's shed for their office, and assemblies were held in a tent or outdoors. After two terms, the school moved to the High School premises and, by 1992, enrolment expanded to include Form 3 and Form 4. Leadership progressed from Mr Chibisa (headmaster, 1996) to Mr Muzamhindo (2008), Tim Middleton (2010), and currently Tunga Mashungu (2015). The school introduced the Career Preparation Programme (1996), the ACE programme (2002), and the Takuranashe Class (2010), and established a counselling service (1996) with a Career Fair launched in 2012.
Speech Days were held at Living Word Tabernacle and plays were performed in the main quad, with Shona drama works such as Ndikandei and Mogoba reShumba winning regional and national awards. Sport has been central to life at Gateway, with cricket and rugby fields, tennis courts, and a swimming pool opened in 2011 after years of developing the grounds. The Gateway Co-Ed Hockey Festival began in 2007 and now features 24 teams from 12 schools. Gateway has also facilitated international tours and exchanges, including trips to the UK and to India, and visits to France and the Holy Land.
The Parent Representative Council (PRC) facilitates communication between the parent body and school management, including the Board of Governors. It undertakes projects to improve facilities or promote welfare, raises funds and manages donations, and assists in extramural and special school functions. The PRC is a support group for the school and is not a body to debate school issues or policies. In 2008 the Board of Governors introduced the Parent Trust Partnership (PTP) to strengthen the relationship between the PRC and the Board. The PRC AGM reports on activities, with a Chairman's Report and a Treasurer's Report and elections for committee members.
Gateway High School is a biblically based Christian secondary school in Zimbabwe offering Cambridge-based education from early secondary through Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge International AS and A Levels. ACE graduation certificates are conferred by a UK-based governing body, aligning the ACE framework with Cambridge qualifications. Established in 1991, the school grew from modest Form 1 classes to a campus, introducing the Career Preparation Programme (1996), the ACE pathway (2002), and the Takuranashe Class (2010), with a counselling service since 1996 and a Career Fair since 2012. The campus includes Art and Computing rooms, a science block, a library, and a Hall. On-site cricket and rugby fields, grass volleyball courts, tennis courts and a swimming pool (2011) support sport and community events. A range of clubs including Arts & Crafts, Drama, Chess, Debate, Choir, and language, cultural, and social activities enrich academic life. The school also emphasises character, leadership and service.
