Pamushana High School is a mission boarding school run by the Dutch Reformed Church. The mixed school is located 80 kilometres from Masvingo along the Masvingo-Mutare highway just before Nyika growth point.
Pamushana High School is an institution of the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe (RCZ) established in 1901. It, therefore, subscribes to the Reformed Church Christian faith, beliefs and doctrine.
As a Mission boarding school, the school endeavours to produce a complete, whole child who should be a pride of the Zimbabwean society. Such a child should be moulded intellectually, physically and morally under a strong Christian background and environment.
Such students should have unhu: great respect for self, others, work, the environment and all God’s creation.
Whilst school employees are available to assist students with the cleaning of their hostels, classrooms and the general school campus, the school culture is that students themselves must clean these facilities first and be moulded to be responsible citizens who respect the dignity of labour.
So all students do general work at this institution, save for those with medical conditions that incapacitate them in which case a doctor’s letter should be produced to that effect, and the school needs it for filing. The school does not believe in doing anything sub-standard and bought a luxury Scania bus in 2016 for students to travel in.
