Rustenburg Girls’ High School is very proud of their top NSC candidate, Erin Coull, who achieved an aggregate of 96.5%. She received seven subject distinctions: 99% for Mathematics; 97% for Physical Sciences and Accounting; 96% for English (Home Language), Afrikaans (First Additional Language) and Life Orientation; and 94% for Geography. When asked about her experience of the final examinations, Coull replied: “I found that the exams were presented very fairly, and that Rustenburg prepared me extremely well. I also think that being able to access past exam papers made such a difference to my confidence and I was able to approach them feeling calm.”

And on her plans for the future: “My plan is to study a Business Science degree in Finance with Accounting at UCT. This is the Chartered Accounting stream which will help in my becoming qualified as a CA (SA). I thoroughly enjoy working with numbers, with a focus on analysis, and I hope to be working in investments one day.” Her advice for the Grade 12 Class of 2022:

“I would definitely recommend doing all the past papers available well in advance. Practising these past papers on the NSC and WCED websites from June onwards helped greatly in my feeling comfortable with the exam formats. I would also highly recommend speaking to teachers as much as possible, especially in the last few days leading up to the exam.”
