In addition to pupils who gain good academic results, the school strives to cater for those who may not. Agricultural Science is taught, both from an academic perspective, and by practical experience. A small Production Unit (farm) is run by the school. Students are taught animal husbandry and the essentials of crop raising, in order to prepare  them for return to their villages where they may utilise the family land to their advantage. As a result, a number of our past pupils have set up small farming projects.
