Matric Results 2011

100% Pass Rate

We congratulate our matric class of 2011 for achieving 100% pass rate.  The school has now recorded a 100% pass rate for 18 years. One candidate achieved seven distinctions which is a “first” for the school. The top achievers were:

 Noxolo Mafeje        7 distinctions (Eng, Afr, Maths, Ph. Sci., Life Sci., Acc (92%), L.O.)

Valentia Ngobese   6 distinctions (Eng, Afr, Life Sci., Hist (91%), B. Stud., L.O.)

Lerato Matloa          6 distinctions (Eng, Afr, Ph. Sci., Life Sci., B. Stud., L.O.)

Tanyiko Mabunda   5 distinctions (Eng, Maths, Life Sci., Acc (92%), L.O.)

Muriel Ngondweni   5 distinctions (Eng, Afr, Life Sci., B. Stud., L.O.)

Most of the subjects had averages of over 60%, and some subjects achieved outstanding results. Physical Science had two distinctions - which is also a first time achievement for the school.  English Home Language achieved six distinctions and an average of 70%.  Life Science and Business Studies each achieved 9 distinctions.

We take this opportunity to thank our dedicated staff for their hard work and enthusiasm in achieving these results. We wish our matrics great success and happiness in their future careers.
