The Art Department has two full time teachers and three dedicated classrooms. There is a special room for Ceramics and Pottery. The staff members in the Department are very enthusiastic and creative. We encourage the boys to explore different medium using the environment around them as the starting point. Working from first hand studies is very crucial in this subject.

Teaching

In B Block there are eight lessons per 2 week cycle, two doubles and four singles. The boys experiment with different medium and the lessons include Craft, Ceramics, Art history, Drawing and Painting. The boys are also exposed to the importance of photography in Art. At the end of the two years pupils sit for the IGCSE Art (0400) examination.

At the end of the two year course our pupils are well equipped to pursue the subject to a higher level, but if they choose not to, they would have acquired skills that would have opened up their minds.

The Biology department comprises four experienced, passionate and dedicated teachers and one Lab technician. The department boasts of four well equipped state of the art labs, two preparation rooms for practical work. This is supported by a variety of other instructional aids such as data projectors and smart boards. Practical work is at the centre of instruction and learning. The subject is very popular and is offered to all boys in B block and we are proud to see a sizeable number of these boys achieving success at IGCSE.

Teaching

There are 8 periods per cycle comprising two doubles and four singles at B block (and A block has the same number). Doubles in the cycle are devoted to demonstrations and practical work. To give learners the requisite grounding in the scientific method, boys work through a practical handbook which gives them opportunities to develop lifelong skills of observation, measurement, recording, analysis, deduction and evaluation. We also encourage learners to devise and plan investigations, drawing on their knowledge and understanding, analyse and interpret data to draw conclusions. Learners get to investigate the way things work and we hope the knowledge gained will be of benefit to mankind.

Interaction with the content enables our learners to acquire knowledge and develop positive attitudes to the environment and an understanding that we can make the best out of our environment without damaging it. Some of our themes use Biology to promote healthy living. We teach our boys the internationally acclaimed Cambridge IGCSE syllabus. This enables them to earn internationally recognised qualifications that will help them prepare for A level Biology or life after school

The department has three dedicated teachers each with a varied background and specialised skills.
We have two large and well equipped workshops that specialize in woods and metals respectively.
There is also a smaller multi- purpose workshop as well. The department also offers a exposure to
varied Drawing Software aimed at enhancing the communication competencies in AutoCAD,
Inventor, and CorelDraw. The acquisition of these soft skills will place them in good stead to cope
with the Built in and Engineering programmes post Peterhouse. Our workshops are sufficiently
equipped to allow pupils at the higher levels to realise both small and large projects.

Teaching

The subject aims to impart practical skill to pupils and make them aware of design as a human
activity that has an impact on society and the environment.

Skills are developed in Graphic Communication, Product design or Systems and Control. They will
have the opportunity to extend their knowledge of the subject, work with a variety of materials and
experience new techniques for production in the workshops. Topics pertaining to the Design
Process, Workshop practice, Drawing systems and Technology related to structures, mechanisms
and electronic control will be covered.

Much of the A Block year is spent on various aspects of coursework design and realization.
Coursework folios and testing of the final products will be completed early in the third term in order
to pave way for revision.

Post IGCSE

On completion of the course pupils can take Design and Technology at both AS and A Level subject in
combination with Mathematics, Physics, Geography, and any other subject combination as maybe
preferred. The subject has also proved to be handy to students wishing to pursue a career in
Engineering Technology fields.

T Mhete : Head of Design & Technology Department

The Divinity department is staffed by three teachers, all of whom also teach elsewhere in the curriculum. Over the past few years the teaching of the subject has expanded to be taught throughout the school from D Block to VI Form.

Teaching

At IGCSE, the subject is taught as Religious Studies, and is a comparative study of two out of three religions, Christianity, Judaism and the Islamic faith. In today’s world an understanding of other people’s religious beliefs can only help to foster international understanding and cooperation between the peoples of the world.

At the end of the course, candidates should be able to:

1. Use knowledge in order to describe the religious practices, experiences and beliefs of others.
2. Select and deploy relevant knowledge of the religions studied.
3. Show understanding of religious beliefs and practices by explaining their significance for believers.
4. Demonstrate awareness and understanding of religious responses to contemporary issues, both personal and social.
5. Evaluate different views on issues arising from religious belief and practice by using evidence and argument.

LT. Makwindi – Head of Divinity Department

The Department is staffed by seven dedicated teachers, all of whom combine their individual skills and interests to ensure that the subject is taught effectively. They ensure that useful reading, comprehension, punctuation, listening, speaking, and writing skills are taught from D Block (Form 1) to VIth Form.

Teaching Language

Pupils are taught passage analysis, summary writing, examination of language effects, literary devices, grammar, punctuation rules and usage, composition writing and imaginative writing; they also do reading, listening and speaking practice. The pupils learn to look for implicit meaning, empathise, develop ideas effectively and argue points logically. There are a number of activities that are done throughout the B (Form 3) and A Block (Form 4) years that complement the teaching of skills. These skills are all transferrable and are important life skills as well. Pupils are taught to write (and respond appropriately to) letters, speeches, reports, articles leaflets, scripts, dialogue, extracts from stories and passages from other genres. Pupils also learn to write for a variety of specific audiences in different genres; in doing so, they must amplify given ideas and try to use their own words as far as possible. Every year pupils participate in writing contests such as the “Standard Cover to Cover” essay writing competition; the National Allied Arts Literary Competition, the Commonwealth International Competition and others.

Teaching Literature (IGCSE)

The Literature programme complements the pupils’ language learning – particularly the enhancement of vocabulary and creative use of language. Pupils are exposed to texts of different genres, styles of writing, historical contexts, cultural contexts and levels of difficulty. The Cambridge syllabus offers a variety of texts from which Peterhouse teachers select the ones best suited to the pupils whom they are teaching. The texts offered by Cambridge change bi-annually usually and include Drama (two plays); Poetry (fifteen poems) and Prose (one novel).

Through our pupil-centred approach, pupils learn to develop independent opinions on texts, identify themes and examine the effectiveness of linguistic devices. Important skills learnt through literature include an appreciation of different cultures and beliefs, understanding and accepting different characters, empathising with characters that have changed over time because of different circumstances and they learn to appreciate who and what they are through reading about people and situations that are far worse than their own. They see first-hand the impact of dishonesty, integrity, hate, love and learn the power of words and actions – their ability to make or break a character – by reading between the lines and not taking everything in life at face value. They learn to see texts as mirrors of the current world, the past and the future; the imagined and the real. They are also taught to write well-structured and balanced discursive essays on characters, themes, structure and style; in those essays, pupils express their opinions freely.

T. Nzanga: Head of the English Department

French is an integral part of the curriculum at Peterhouse. The teaching of the language has evolved over the years. Today, we place a large emphasis on the ability to speak and communicate, without jeopardizing the ability to write idiomatic and grammatically accurate French. The staff who teach in the Department are all enthusiastic about their subject, and they encourage boys to develop an interest in the language and to use it around them and in the wider world. In today’s global village French as a language plays a key role not only as a language but as a medium of exchange which is internationally recognized.

Teaching

There are eight lessons per two week cycle in both B and A Block. Most of the lessons are normally taken as single but we have 1 double lesson per cycle which is used for oral work.

The overall aim of the department at this level is to develop the ability to use French effectively for purposes of practical communication. We also use the PAR method of teaching ie Participatory Action Research which emphasizes participation and action. It helps tremendously to improve pupil participation, concentration levels and it also brings excitement and enthusiasm. We use a variety of teaching aides which also help the slow learners to understand the subject and to grasp complex grammatical concepts. The department puts emphasis in preparing the students for their public exams and ensuring that they do not only just pass with flying colours but they also understand and appreciate the language and French culture. Pupils also embark on a tour to France to enable them to fully experience French culture and France as a country up close and to allow them to practice their spoken French. Students also have one IT lesson per fortnight in which they use the duo lingo app to enhance their knowledge of French grammar.

COURSE OUTLINE

Pupils cover a variety of topics from D Block to A Block all of which must prepare and develop listening, speaking comprehension answering techniques and essay writing skills. By the end of the A Block year pupils must be semi fluent in the language and be able to convey present, past and future meaning.

Besides the IGCSE exam which is taken after two years, pupils also write the DELF diploma. This is a diploma in French, which is offered by the Ministry of Education in France and is administered by the Alliance Francais in Harare. It assesses the pupil’s level of French. The diploma is started in B Block and pupils may finish in A level or they may choose to continue with the diploma after school.

S. Gombedza : Head of French Department

The Geography Department has four full time teachers, plus two others who also spend part of their time teaching in other Departments. We have a suite of five dedicated classrooms, and also a reference/resource room, plus a Stevenson’s Screen Weather Station, and a remote electronic weather station. The staff who teach in the Department are all enthusiastic about their subject, and we encourage boys to develop an interest in the Natural and Built environments around them and in the wider world. In B and A Blocks the changing world around us becomes important, as our pupils are mature enough to understand and appreciate that our world is not a static place.

Entry Requirements

An automatic entry for pupils in Sets 1-3 and a pass in the subject at C Block and English Language. Pupils in Set 4 can only choose the option with approval from their C Block teacher.

Teaching

In B Block there are eight lessons per two week cycle, generally taken as two double and four single lessons. Geography is a content subject, as well as a practical one, so we try to keep the boys interested by making their lessons as varied as possible, and often practical or fieldwork can be done in the double lessons. At the end of two years, our pupils sit IGCSE Geography (0460).

Successful Cambridge IGCSE Geography candidates develop lifelong skills, including:

• An understanding of the impacts which both physical and human geography can have and the processes which affect their development;
• A sense of place and an understanding of relative location on a local, regional and global scale;
• The ability to use and understand geographical data and information;
• An understanding of how communities and cultures around the world and how they are affected and constrained by different environments.

At the end of the two year course, our pupils are well equipped to study the subject at AS and A level, but if they choose not to, then they have acquired skills and knowledge that will be helpful to them for many years to come.

CR Tswatswa : Head of Geography Department

The History Department has three full time and one part time dedicated, enthusiastic and experienced teachers. The subject is taught from four classrooms and these are all equipped with projectors for teaching. The department has embraced new teaching and learning methods of the Modern Age. Apart from the Projectors, we make use of the internet facilities in the School with at least one double IT session per cycle for each of the two blocks. We also organize educational Tours to Europe to countries that are covered by the syllabus. 

Teaching

In B and A Blocks, there are 4 lessons each week and at least one of these is a double lesson. History is a content subject and we keep the boys motivated through the use of a variety of teaching methods. The IGCSE Syllabus allows our boys to study some of the major international issues of the 20th century. The emphasis within the syllabus is as much on developing lifelong historical skills as on acquiring knowledge. The boys sit IGCSE History (0470) at the end of the two years.

The successful Cambridge History candidates develop some of the following skills:

An interest in and enthusiasm for learning and understanding about the past.

Understanding historical concepts such as cause and consequence, continuity and change, similarity and difference.

A greater understanding of international issues and the inter-relationships.

How to present clear, logical arguments.

At the end of the two year course, the boys can choose to continue with their studies of the subject to Advanced Level and if not, they would have acquired valuable skills for life. We do the Core Content: Option B 20th Century. The boys are entered for three papers: Paper 1 (2 hours), Paper 2 (2 hours) and Paper 4 (1 hour).

Teaching

We aim to help our pupils reach their mathematical potential by providing an environment which nurtures confidence and an interest in the subject. Our students are exposed to a range of teaching and learning styles which take into account their individual learning abilities. Pupils are equipped with the competences needed for Mathematical activities. The main goal is that they should be able to carry out routine algorithms that are involved in “doing sums” and be able to use appropriate equipment such as calculators and geometrical instruments. Our teachers help pupils to recognise the essence of doing Maths beyond their own scope, hence seeing that it is a powerful tool to be used in other subjects.

The Peterhouse Mathematics curriculum is based on the Cambridge Syllabus. This includes focused work on number, algebra, shape and space and data handling and places particular emphasis on the child’s ability to use and apply mathematics.

Set 1 and 2 write the IGCSE extended papers at the end of A Block. B Block sets 1 – 3 inclusive begin the IGCSE extended syllabus while set 4 start on the Core syllabus. Set 3 normally drops the Extended Maths in second term of A Block to do Core. Those who excel during the Mock exam in A Block are moved up to carry on with the Extended syllabus. The Extended Papers are Papers 2 and 4, while the Core papers are Papers 1 and 3.

S. Mazani : Head of Mathematics Department

Our department currently has two Physical Education teachers, who both read for a degree closely related to Physical Education as a subject. The two members of staff also teach in other departments – Biology and Geography.

In regards to the facilities within the classroom environment, the Physical Education department has two rooms, which are small and personal due to the small class sizes. The department also makes use of the many sporting facilities found on the Peterhouse Campus.

Both members of the department are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about academics and sport; and are involved in sports at a high level.

Style of teaching

Our department is continually looking to make effective use of technology available and as such attempt to use media where appropriate to enhance the learning environment. Practical activities are used to link the theoretical principles.

Currently the staff will begin with, and see through a class from the start to the end of their IGCSE syllabus. This continuity hopefully brings with it the best possible results for the boys, who have the time to develop a good working relationship with their teacher.

Both the B and A Block pupils receive one double period (which can be used for practical activities) and two single periods in a week. Lessons are forty minutes in length, allowing enough time to cover the syllabus.

By following the course, the boys will be able to develop an understanding of effective and safe physical performance and to appreciate the necessity for sound understanding of the principles and practices that underpin improved performance, better health and well-being.

The IGCSE curriculum

This is comprised of two components. Component 1 is theoretical and assesses the candidate’s knowledge and understanding in relation to the syllabus content. Pupils will need to demonstrate skills of description, interpretation and evaluation. The theoretical paper has a weighting of fifty percent and asks question related to the three units taught.

Component 2 is a coursework component, which constitutes the remaining fifty percent of the overall mark. A minimum of four practical activities from two of the seven categories needs to be performed to a high standard.

S. Ndlovu : Head of Physical Education

The Physics Department has two full time teachers, and one teacher who is also part of the Chemistry Department. There is also a full time technician whose primary role is to prepare and facilitate practical activities. The department has two modern laboratories and numerous equipment and apparatus which enable learner-centred teaching and learning to take place. The teaching staff are determined, experienced professionals who impart lifelong problem solving skills as well as develop an inquisitive mind-set within our learners so that they are able to lead society in the quest to adapt and overcome the ever changing world.

Teaching

Physics is a hands on Practical subject that seeks to explain properties of Matter and Energy and the relationships between the two, and as learners progress from B Block to A Block they are taught and exposed to the instruments that are used to make such deductions as well as the basic behaviour of materials such as light, sound and matter. Lessons are structured into Theory, Practical and Demonstration lessons. At the end of A Block our learners sit for IGCSE Physics which is broken down to three assessment components namely, Knowledge with understanding, Handling information and problem solving and Experimental skills and investigation.

Successful Cambridge IGCSE Physics candidates gain lifelong skills including:

• Confidence in a Technological world, with an informed interest in scientific matters.
• An understanding of how scientific theories and methods have developed, and continue to develop, as a result of groups and individuals working together.
• An understanding of the usefulness (and limitations) of scientific method, and its application in other subjects and in everyday life.
• An excellent foundation for advanced study in pure sciences, in applied science or in science- dependent vocational courses.

The staff who teach in the Department are both enthusiastic about their subject, and we encourage boys to develop an interest in the Natural and Built attractions, Destinations and Ecotourism projects around them and in the wider world. We also teach them valuable skill of customer service. In B and A Block, the changing world around us becomes important, as our pupils are mature enough to understand and appreciate that our world is not a static place.

Teaching

In B Block there are eight lessons per two week cycle, generally taken as two double and four single lessons. Travel and Tourism is a content subject, as well as a practical one, so we try to keep the boys interested by making their lessons as varied as possible, we try to take them on field trips to places relating to the syllabus such as Travel agencies, hotels, restaurants and to the airport. Quite a number of the lessons are taught in the IT labs in order to find case studies that will be used in examinations. At the end of two years, our pupils sit IGCSE Travel and Tourism (0471).

Successful Cambridge IGCSE Travel and Tourism candidates develop lifelong skills, including:

• Exploring the different organisational roles within the industry such as tour operators and transport providers.
• Discovering the features of worldwide destinations and attractions, and how customer care and working practices have evolved.
• Gaining a theoretical knowledge of all sectors of the industry, its infrastructure and the products and services required to generate tourism.
• Studying Travel and Tourism from global, regional and local perspectives.
