The Malawi Electoral Commission's 2025 register of established voter registration centres, in its Nkhata Bay District Council section, lists "St.Augustine CDSS" as a centre in Thoto ward, Nkhata Bay Central constituency. It is a different institution from St Augustine Full Primary School in the Luwinga Area ward of Mzuzu, which the same register lists under Mzuzu City Council. Secondary education in Malawi runs from Form 1 to Form 4 and ends with the Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE), set by the Malawi National Examinations Board (MANEB). Pupils enter after the Primary School Leaving Certificate of Education (PSLCE), taken at the end of Standard 8. Community day secondary schools are government day schools serving pupils who live nearby; most grew out of the former distance-education centres, which were converted into CDSSs in 1998. Nkhata Bay, the district capital, lies on the shore of Lake Malawi about 40 kilometres east of Mzuzu, to which it is linked by the M5 road. It is one of the lake's principal ports and a regular call for the MV Ilala, which sails between Monkey Bay in the south and Chilumba in the north. The town had 14,274 residents at the 2018 census; fishing, cassava farming and tourism support the local economy. Fees, term dates and admission arrangements have not been published online.
