Empowering the Future: Coaching & Mentoring Session at St. Anthony's Mission School in Jerera Zaka 🌟
This past March 2025, I had the privilege of conducting a coaching and mentoring session for Ordinary Level and Advanced Level students at St. Anthony School—nearly 350 km from Harare. Despite the distance, the energy, enthusiasm, and curiosity of the students made every kilometre worthwhile.
The main focus of our session was to guide students on critical decisions around subject selection and how these choices align with future career paths. We explored how subject combinations can open doors to various professions and emphasized the importance of early career exposure in shaping informed, confident learners.

Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, students gained clarity on how their current academic choices can shape their professional journey—from science and technology to business, law, health sciences, and beyond. Key core subjects for each unis program were discussed and the interactive debate with students continued and continued – students had many questions and needed clarity
💡 Key Takeaways:
• Align your passions and strengths with your subject combinations.
• Think long-term: subject selection is the foundation for future opportunities.
• Explore diverse professions early through reading, mentorship, and internships.
• Aim for both academic success and practical skills development.
We’re proud to support the next generation of Zimbabwean leaders, thinkers, and innovators. A heartfelt thank you to the staff and students of St. Anthony for their warm hospitality and active participation!
