Meet Rachel Mazvita Zhakata a Gateway High School alumnus, now Head of Campus France Zimbabwe at the Embassy of France in Harare. On today's , we feature her story which is proof that service leadership and Christian values stick with you long after you've left the school π«π.
This is what she had to say about the impact our school had on her:
"I graduated from Gateway High in 2019. During my time at Gateway, I was actively involved in co-curricular activities, serving as the First Aid leader and participating in both choir and drama club. These experiences helped me develop leadership skills, confidence, teamwork, and a passion for serving others.
I am currently working at the Embassy of France in Harare as the Head of Campus France Zimbabwe, where I support students in accessing higher education opportunities in France.
Looking back, my years at Gateway remain some of my most memorable. I fondly remember being taught the importance of service, especially during sports days, school events, and activities where we were encouraged to put others first. The school instilled in me humility, discipline, and the value of giving back, principles I continue to carry with me today.
I am also grateful for the incredible teachers who challenged us to always strive for excellence, believed in our potential, and guided us beyond the classroom. Above all, Gateway shaped my character by teaching me the importance of putting God above all else, a value that continues to guide me in my personal and professional journey."
Well done Rachel ππ . Keep soaring and flying the GHS flag high.
