By Dumisani Hlatswayo

Bertharry Private School hosted an awards ceremony in honour of the 97.8% pass rate of the class of 2022. Out of 76 learners who sat for their exams, at least 75 learners passed, with 50 landing Bachelor’s degree entries or exemptions. The remaining achievers proudly grasped their diplomas and certificates, showcasing their remarkable potential.

The school attributes this great accomplishment to hard work and discipline; Deputy Principal Hendry Kutshinga said that without these core values, such results could never have been achieved.

“Our success can be attributed to our dedication, discipline, and commitment to the course. We have a team of teachers who always put in extra hours during the week. They sometimes work weekends and during holidays and decide to be away from their families,” Kutshinga said.

To ensure that the learners succeed, Kutshinga revealed that they go above and beyond traditional teaching methods. They ignite the passion for learning through extraordinary programmes, and invigorating talks by motivational speakers handpicked from local districts.

For two whole decades, the institution has been standing its ground, blossoming from the union of its ingenious founders - Harry and Bertha

Kumwenda, whose merged monikers christened the school. Undoubtedly, Bertharry’s unwavering consistency has etched its name in the realm of esteemed establishments. In 2020, in the face of a global pandemic, Bertharry Private School recorded an astounding 97.8% pass rate.

“We are not just a Private School but we are also recognised for our hard work in the community of Tembisa. We are in position two as an Independent School in Tembisa Class of 2022 Matric Awards,” he said.

In the midst of applauding the remarkable accomplishments of the

Class of 2022, the school simultaneously mourned the loss of their beloved educator, Samuel Kandeu Tembo. As a passionate and diligent teacher, Mr. Kandeu touched the hearts of countless students and will be dearly missed.
