Eastern Cape Top Matrics edition 2022

CURRO’S IEB MATRICULANTS SCORE TOP MARKS

Curro is delighted that its Matric Class of 2022 recorded an exceptional 98.63% pass rate for the 2022 academic year.

This achievement is based on the performance of its 1893 learners who wrote the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) exams last year.

Among the triumphant achievers are nine learners who each bagged a spot on the IEB’s Outstanding Achiever’s list. Learners who made it onto this prestigious IEB list have all achieved within the top 5% in 6 or more subjects and scored a rating level of 7 in Life Orientation. Among the learners are Isabella Campbell from Heron Bridge College who obtained 9 distinctions, Natasha Honey from Curro Hazeldean who achieved 8 distinctions and Mohamed Ismail Salejee from Heritage House who also obtained 8 distinctions as well as a 99% for Mathematics. In addition, 12 other Curro learners received recognition as part of the IEB’s Commendable Achievements, meaning they’ve achieved within the top 5% in 5 subjects and scored a rating level of 7 in Life Orientation.

A world of opportunity at their feet

The majority of Curro’s learners (67%) achieved a minimum of a C-average and 190 learners achieved an A average. Curro’s talented learners can now access some of the best tertiary education available to pursue their dreams and build bright futures.

Curro’s academic faculty is incredibly proud of its learners’ results. “We commend our learners who have proven their talent and acumen to produce remarkable results. It has been wonderful to watch our learners grab every opportunity to learn, grow and succeed in the classroom. The sheer calibre of these learners is evident in their results, and these qualities will stand them in good stead as they take on new challenges as leaders of tomorrow,” says Cobus Loubser, Curro Holdings CEO.

“We are extremely proud of our entire Class of 2022 and wish them all the best,” concludes Loubser.

Top two learners, Husna Hafejee of Al-Falaah College in KZN and Grace Kelly Prowse of Rustenburg Girls’ High in the Western Cape tied first place and were crowned the top achievers in the country for the Class of 2022’s NSC exams.

My name is Husnaa Haffejee and I recently graduated from Al-Falaah College as the Head Girl of the class of 2022. I am honoured to have been acknowledged as one of South Africa’s top achievers. I can’t fully express my gratitude to first and foremost Allah (SWT), and to my parents, family, principals, teachers and peers who have offered me their support and guidance.

I joined the Al-Falaah College family in grade 5, my parents having decided to return from England to South Africa where they grew up. Alhamdulillah, by the Grace and Mercy of Allah (SWT), I have maintained my position as top student ever since. As such, I received a full scholarship throughout my high school career.

I believe that my faith has played a significant role in the success I have achieved. Islam teaches us to strive to seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave, and instils within us as Muslims an appreciation for learning and teaching. This has definitely helped me to remain focused and motivated throughout my schooling career.

Al-Falaah College consistently offered me opportunities to develop and showcase my skills. I have represented the school in numerous competitions. In grade 6, I received a gold medal for placing amongst the top 1% in the world in the international ICAS examination. During my matric year, I participated in the National Afrikaans Olympiad and Alhamdulillah placed first in KZN and third in the country. This achievement was notable as I was the only nonAfrikaans name amongst the top achievers. I hold this particular achievement dear to me as when I initially returned from England, I did

not know a single word of Afrikaans and was tackling an unknown subject.

I would like to especially thank my parents, who have always stood by me and encouraged me to pursue my ambitions. Whenever I doubted myself, they were always there to reassure me of my abilities and I will be eternally indebted to them. I would also like to thank my grandparents, who have always kept me in their duas, my wonderful sister who I could not do without and family and friends who have supported me. As they say, no man is an island, and I could not have come this far on my own.

Alhumdulillah, it has been an honour and a privilege to be a student of Al-Falaah College. I will always cherish the memories and lessons that I have learned there, and I look forward to using my education to make a positive impact in the world. I am excited for the next chapter in my life, and in shaa Allah with the support of my loved ones and the guidance of my faith, I will be able to achieve great things.

Kelly Grace Prowse - Rustenburg Girls’ High

Top two learners, Husna Hafejee of Al-Falaah College in KZN and Grace Kelly Prowse of Rustenburg Girls’ High in the Western Cape tied first place and were crowned the top achievers in the country for the Class of 2022’s NCS exams.

How does it feel to be the top achiever from the Class of 2022 nationwide?

It feels incredible to have achieved the prestigious title of being the top learner across the country for 2022. It was an immense privilege to have attended the top achievers event, however, achieve an award like this one has gone far beyond my wildest hopes and dreams. I feel incredibly proud of my achievements and elated by my brilliant results.

What was your greatest challenge in matric?

My greatest challenge was definitely trying to stay motivated throughout the long year of matric. With the many sets of exams, it was easy to feel burnt out and tired, as well as to feel disheartened from some poor results. Trying to bounce back from a bad exam and stay stimulated learning the same content for many months was not easy.

If you could re-do your matric year, what would you do different? The only thing that I think I would have done differently is that I wouldn’t have stressed so much. Thankfully I learnt early on in the year that stress only holds one back from achieving of their full potential. Once I learnt to manage my nerves and clear my head before an exam, I felt that all forms of testing seemed to go much smoother.

What is your message to the Class of 2023 who want to achieve the best like you did?

My first piece of advice would be to not see school as a chore. Challenge yourself, challenge your teachers and always find ways to extend your knowledge. The more you make the work interesting for yourself by reading up extra material, the more motivated you will feel and the better you will do. My second piece of advice would be to pace yourself.

2022 MATRIC CLASS KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK...AGAIN

Over one thousand Teneo Matric students, wrote and passed their final examinations through 2 examination boards, IEB and SACAI.

Teneo’s North Star is academic excellence. 2022 has been a noteworthy year for Teneo with many milestones achieved. Our biggest cohort of Matric students to date have written their Final examinations. This is the fourth consecutive year for Teneo students writing SACAI Matric exams, our second year of British International Curriculum A levels and our first cohort of IEB matriculants.

For the past four consecutive years, Teneo’s matriculants have consistently improved on their overall academic performance. Teneo’s 2022 Matric pass rate is remarkable when one considers that all our Matriculants only joined Teneo in the last 4 years from other schools, and that Teneo accepts all students without exception, including late in the year, and with diverse learning abilities. Notably 31% of our total 2022 student base reported learning barriers including autism, dyslexia, anxiety, depression as well as visual and audio barriers.

Dink nuut oor drukwerk by jou

skool!

Die Skole Ondersteuningsentrum het onlangs die voorbeeld gebruik: om klein veranderinge aan die manier waarop inhoud oorgedra word te maak, is soos om `n kamer aan `n ou huis aan te bou. Ja, dit lyk goed, en elke kamer het sy funksie en ons doen ons bes met wat ons het. Wanneer jy egter uit die staanspoor en vir ‘n spesifieke doel ‘n nuwe, moderne, ontwerpte huis binnestap, sal jy nie terugtrek na jou ou huis toe nie, maar eerder die ou huis afbreek en van nuuts af bou.

Hoe vernuwe jy drukwerk by jou skool? Werksboeke, addisionele leermateriaal of skryfboeke is `n kopseer vir elke skool. Nie net neem dit ure om dit by die skool te bind nie, maar dit kan ook binne `n paar weke uitmekaar val. Met vandag se tegnologie is die prys vir swart en wit boeke basies dieselfde as vir kleur.

Die bindwerk verseker ook dat jou boeke waaraan jy so hard gewerk het, die hele jaar sal hou!

Raak kreatief met voorblaaie!

Het jy geweet skole kan deesdae die skryfboeke van die leerders laat druk met die skool se kleure op die voorblad? Dit skep nie net eenvormigheid by die skool nie, maar is reeds gelamineer en daarom hoef dié boeke nie oorgetrek te word nie. Die skool kan self besluit hoe breed die lyne moet wees en verkoop dan dié boeke weer aan die leerders as deel van `n fondsinsameling vir die skool.

Voorbeeld van skryfboeke:

Well done to all our matrics of 2022, we are very proud of you. Congratulations to the following learners for their outstanding work and results:

Die prys vir die boeke hang af van die hoeveelheid boeke wat bestel word. Jy sal nie glo hoe bekostigbaar dit is nie.

Alle grootte boeke is beskikbaar - van die 32-blad tot die 192-blad boeke.
