The school motto, "Tsvakai Chokwadi Kuyamura Vamwe", is Shona, meaning "seek the truth to help others". The school is known for the Chivero Boat disaster in which 22 form 1 students were killed when their boat capsized at Lake Chivero.[2] The school also made headlines when a mysterious hysteria hit some of the female students. In addition to academic learning, students participate in sports (including football, volleyball, basketball, table tennis), chess and debating. In the seventies, it was one of the only three African schools which played softball together with St. Ignatius and Kutama College.
Like most high schools in Zimbabwe, which follow the traditional British school system, students at Moleli are divided into four houses, each having its own colour: Mamukwa (blue), Sellers (green), Rusike (red), and White (yellow).
