"More Than A School!! The Home of Discipline, Excellence, and Strong Values in Manafwa"

In the quiet hills of Manafwa District, there is a school that many parents talk about with pride—St. Mary’s College, Mayenze. This is not just another secondary school. It is a special place where young boys and girls are shaped into responsible and confident individuals ready to face the future.

The school sits in the centre of Mayenze Ward, in Manafwa Town Council, and welcomes students from all backgrounds. Whether a student comes from a nearby village or a distant town, they quickly find a sense of belonging at St. Mary’s. Here, learning is not something forced—it is something students grow to love.

One of the first things people notice about the school is the calm and well-organized environment. The compound is clean, the classrooms are orderly, and every student looks neat and focused. This atmosphere helps children settle in quickly and pay attention to their studies without fear or confusion.

What makes the school different is its deep care for both academics and character. Teachers take time to know their students. They don’t only teach—they also guide, mentor, and inspire. Each learner is supported to understand lessons at their own pace, and no child is left behind. Good discipline is encouraged in a fair and respectful way, and every child is treated with dignity.

The school’s message is clear—hard work brings success. Students are trained to stay determined and not give up, even when lessons become tough. As a result, the school continues to produce learners who perform well in national exams and go on to join good universities and colleges.

St. Mary’s also provides good facilities that help students feel comfortable and safe. Boarding students enjoy clean dormitories, healthy meals, and access to clean water. There is a school library that encourages reading, and students have enough space to revise and rest. Day students are equally supported and treated with the same care and attention.

Another strength of the school is the strong partnership with parents. The administration values open communication and believes that when parents and teachers work together, children succeed more. Regular meetings, updates, and guidance help parents stay connected to their children’s education.
