Thank you to all participants and leaders who have given of themselves and displayed great enthusiasm in all activities. They are commended for their sterling effort and courage to continue even in defeat. We will continue to strive for excellence. Leon Rademeyer Matopos Housemaster
We did not perform to expectation in the Cross Country, Athletics, Bridge and Art events, but what was important was the gentlemen who participated in those events. They represented the house with pride and performed to the best of their ability. Hopefully next year they will perform better in these events, especially Athletics, which awards double points. We finished in third place in the Waterpolo, Swimming, Rugby and Music events, and again it is the effort which counts. Special mention must be made of Brett Fox and his Waterpolo
To all the pupils in Vumba house, thank you for your effort on the sporting fields, in cultural activities, in class, and for the support you gave your fellow Vumba housemates in the various activities which took place during the course of the year. We look forward to a better and even more fruitful 2015.
To all the House Prefects led by Thabo Gapare, it was a pleasure working with all of you and I thank you for all your great work throughout the year. The support we got from Vumba members of staff was good and I would like to extend my thanks to all of the teachers who attended house meetings and helped with House registration. Although Mr Davies relinquished the Housemaster position, he was always there to lend a helping hand. All the people mentioned above played a huge role in some way or another and brought great success to Vumba house.
Mr D. Mutendera Vumba Housemaster
and Swimming teams for their effort and commitment. We are looking forward to performing better next year in those two events, mainly swimming, which has more points on offer and is one of the major house events on the calendar. With some Rugby talent in the house we were expecting to perform better and we hope our results will improve next year. Chess, Book Day, Basketball and Golf earned us many points and we came a commendable second place in all four events. Our Basketball team was well led by the College Head Boy, Panashe Bera and he was ably supported by Tinotenda Chikoto. In Chess, Kudana Gwatidzo and Nyasha Dube and their teams performed exceptionally well. Our golfers who were well led by Tafadzwa Zimuto did us proud with their second place position. The majority of the house members contributed to the success of finishing second in the Book Day house event.

Nyanga House report In 2014 the gentlemen of Nyanga house achieved a mixed array of results throughout the year and ultimately managed to defend the Foundation Cup one more time.

For the rest for the year, our results as a house were evenly spread throughout the disciplines. Just to list a few of the outstanding House Representatives this year.

Academic & House Reviews
Our outstanding contributions of the year came from Soccer, Hockey, Squash and Quiz, where we managed to finish first in all four events. In the second term we finished first three times out of five, which was a remarkable achievement. Commendations must go to all the participants in these events. We came first in effort, loyalty and commitment.
They are as follows:
Vumba House report
It was a successful year for Vumba house. We finished third behind Chimanimani and Nyanga. Our performances in all the house activities were inconsistent but credit must go to all who took part and gave of their best. Special mention must go to Mr Davies who was Vumba Housemaster last year. His commitment and dedication to Vumba house during his tenure was greatly appreciated.

Matopos House report
After an excellent start to the Inter-house competition, we finished in fourth place which was disappointing. This year confirmed our strengths and weaknesses, and illustrated the need for a more consistent effort. Unfortunately we did not place as highly as we should have in a number of events and this came back to haunt us. It is more evident than ever that our cultural skills surpass our Athletic ability and it is in this field that we must commit to trying to improve. As record holders for the most wins of the Foundation Cup we will return to winning ways and consolidate that position further. To the gentlemen of the house, let this serve as a reminder of the responsibility we owe to our past and future members.

artists too. Chimanimani has been the house to beat! By devoting more time to improving our position in improving our position in the rankings of some of the lower profile activities in the competition, the house will be a tough house to beat in 2015.

Chimanimani House report
This year was certainly an extremely successful year for Chimanimani. Despite not winning the Inter-house Trophy, the house showed unity, integrity and above all, sportsmanship.
