I strongly suggest you read Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines. Also look at WP:SCHOOL's list of "Featured Articles" to see what award-winning school articles look like, to get some good ideas. Also, if you live anywhere near this school, it'd be great to take a picture and upload it.

Not to all the words, or even most of them, but just to the ones key to understanding the article. That is, not "bishop" or "school", but do link Kavango Region, etc.

Saint Boniface College is a school in Rundu, Namibia.This is how your article should start out, please read WP:Lead for more info and to expand this
The late archbishop Bonifatius Hausiku together with an assembly of around 200 teachers, community members and missionaries proposed in 1994 the founding of a private school in order to provide quality education so as to contribute to the development of the Kavango region in particular and the country of Namibia in general. In 1995 the Dutch Brothers of CMM started a secondary boarding school with boys and Girls at Sambyu, 30km east of Rundu in the Kavango region in the premises of the Roman Catholic Mission.
The school was named St Boniface College, after Archbishop Bonifatius Hausiku. The official opening of the school was on the 14th of March 1995.It is one of the best perfoming schools in Namibia currently.The school offers JSC,IGCSE and HIGCSE [[1]].just like any other school in the country.
Policies[edit]
Students who get admitted at the school have to adopt to the Catholic Religion.The school has produced some of the most qualified people in the country,since most of the studens after they finish high school they go abroad because of the good results that they have.One of the most successful person the school produced is Wayiti Lucas [[2]]who is currently working as an Electrical Engineer at NamPower in Ruacana.In the top ten 2011 NSSCO results(IGCSE)nine of the students were from Saint Boniface College[[3]].
Some of the students are from lower middle class families; others are from really poor families but they are supported by some good people and organisations that pay for them. There are more than fifty students who are being paid for by different organisations.
The school is currently being run by Mrs Phillis Yesudasan who is the principal of the school. Most of the academic staff at the school are from other countries other than Namibia. At the current date there are approximately twelve teachers including the principal and round about 200 students.The school rules are highly regulated and superimposed on the students.The students are well disciplined and adhere to their work or their recommended tasks.
Extra-curricular activities[edit]
- Soccer
- Basketball
- Wolley ball

Some of the things that students do not like about is the hostel duties,since students are expected to clean up their rooms and their surrounding area.Students usually get bored of the study times since they are expexted to attend to two study periods in a day after school and durind exams students are expected to study during the weekend.
