Events

In 2021, a new website was developed - https://chibihigh.ac.zw

His application has been launched and will be available on both Google and Apple App Store. For the mean time it can be downloaded on the website on the Download App tab. The website can be accessed by anyone and there is no registration required to access all the information. The website was developed basing globally as Chibi High is a well-known school locally and internationally.

The Chibi High School website was also developed by upper sixth student Ashbel Govore in Masvingo who was worried about how a school with talented computer science students would not have its own website for ease of access to students and to the outside world. The school website is loaded with information that is frequently needed by parents or any other people hence it is also user friendly.

I created the website with my colleague Lungile Mswela and young brother Takudzwa Neshena who is also an upcoming web developer and software developer from Victoria Falls.
I got worried about the current situation that is happening in the world about the novel coronavirus/covid19 and decided to create a website for my school so as to ease communication between the school and outside world. I will be adding more options as time goes on so that students are up to date. There is an online chat on the website for those who need instant responses hence fast interaction between the school administration and parents.
I hope many parents and guardians will benefit from this initiative as it is free and user friendly.

Henceforth, e-learning has become a central talking point in African settings. In Sub-Saharan Africa, Zimbabwe is a typical example where debate is raging over the need for government to set up human and financial resources to address affordability, access and availability of infrastructure, devices, internet and content to aid e-learning. Govore says that the website allows for reviewing and downloading of pictures that are in the gallery tab and there is also an option to download the current newsletter of the school hence costs are saved on travelling to ask for a newsletter at the school.

He developed a website, https://www.ciohs.org/ April 2020 which was published June 2020.
His website creation was reported on Echo News in August 2021 ^[1]
