website =Twin Rivers Primary School is a co-educational private school in
Harare ,Zimbabwe . It is situated in theAvondale area behind the 'Reps Theatre '.It opened in
1993 with Mrs. Hilary Middleton as the headmistress. Before the school was built it ran classes in the garden of a church not very far from the site of the school itself. Many of the teachers who taught at the school before it had been built remain with it, despite the conditions inZimbabwe at the moment.The school was built on
vlei , meaning that during the rains many of the fields flooded. There was also a small river that ran along the back of the school but was out of bounds for pupils. There were three houses into which the pupils were divided. These were:Angwa ,Gwebi andMazoe . They were named after three rivers in Zimbabwe and were colour coded: Angwa - yellow, Gwebi - red, and Mazoe - Blue. The logo also reflects the 'twin rivers' where the two blue lines at the top of the shield unite into one river.After the new millennium a new school hall, consisting of staff room, offices, tuck shop and other storage rooms, was built, costing in the region of ZW$6 million. This was big enough to house a small aeroplane.Currently, Mrs Blanche Davie is the headmistress and Mr. Paul Chetti is the new deputy headmaster.
Roles of Pupils
The pupils do not have many responsibilities until they reach Grade 7 when they will be appointed as head of the three different houses, heads of sports events, prefects and Head Boy and Girls. Badges are worn by those who have been appointed such positions and prefects can be identified by the square, plain turquoise ties that they wear - this includes the girls who do not normally wear ties as part of their uniform.Currently Abhishek Patel is the Head Boy and Ahad Syed is the Deputy Head Boy, Sherrill Bowker is Head Girl with Nahyung Lee as Deputy Head Girl.
