Love a Little Local: Curro Gala Matric Awards

Writer Taylum Meyer

The annual Curro Matric Gala Awards took place on Friday morning for Curro's top students around South Africa. All the schools would normally meet for this prestigious event in Johannesburg, but due to Covid-19 restrictions each school held a function in their hometowns for their top students and their parents.

Curro Hermanus held the event at Arabella Hotel and Spa, where the top students, their parents and the Grade 12 teachers were treated to a small breakfast and later lunch and non-alcoholic champagne to celebrate the students' and Curro Hermanus's achievements in the 2020 academic year.

After the breakfast and some tea/coffee, everyone gathered in the conference hall to watch a video sent by Curro Holdings Head Office, which congratulated the students who later received beautiful glass trophies and a cash award. The video also announced the top 10 IEB students in South Africa (who all had an average of 90% or more) and the academic school awards, of which Curro Hermanus won a Merit Award.
