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.

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.
