About Us
Who We AreRoma Girls’ Secondary School is one of the schools founded by the Religious Sisters of Charity. It is a Grant Aided School situated in Lusaka’s Roma township along Mulungushi Road.
From inception, Roma Girls’ Secondary School ran as a Boarding School until 1991 when it was changed into a Day School. The school was established on the principle of promoting “Girl Child Education” especially those that are under privileged.
Driven by the Motto “The love of Christ urges us on”, the school continues to serve communities of Mazyopa, Ng’ombe, Kabanana and Chipata compounds.
