Husnaa Haffejee - Al-Falaah College

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

Dink nuut oor drukwerk by jou

skool!

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.

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!

Afrikaans Klaswerkboek Kwartaal 4

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.

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. Die

VRYSTAAT SE TOPPRESTEERDER

KLAS VAN 2022 | NSS EKSAMEN

Catherine Emma Nel - Eunice High School

Catherine Emma Nel wat verlede jaar aan Eunice gematrikuleer het, is as die topleerder van die Vrystaat aangewys.

Baie geluk met die prestasie. Het jy die goeie uitslae verwag of was jy verras?

Baie dankie. Ek het deurlopend hard gewerk en gehoop vir ‘n mooi resultaat, maar is oorstelp met die uitkoms.

Wat was jou grootste uitdaging in jou matriekjaar?

Om te midde van onsekerheid oor die toekoms nog steeds gefokus te bly.

Watter studiemetode het jy gebruik? Het jy ‘n spesiale “stuck hack” wat jy kan deel?

Ek het my werk herhaaldelik hersien en dikwels vroeg in die oggende reeds my dag begin met `n sessie.

Wat was jou gunsteling vak en hoekom?

Biologie was beslis my gunsteling vak gewees, want die inhoud het my gefassineer.

Watter drie hoogtepunte staan vir jou uit tydens jou hoërskooljare?

Die vriendskap en samesyn wat ek in Eunice beleef het, was beslis `n hoogtepunt vir my.

Dit was `n hoogtepunt om in graad 10 weer skool te kon bywoon na die COVID-19 pandemie om bietjie normaliteit te kon beleef.

Nog `n hoogtepunt was toe ek as dux-leerling in matriek aangewys is.

As jy matriek oor kon doen, wat sou jy anders doen?

Ek is baie tevrede en geseënd met hoe my matriekjaar verloop het.

Wat en waar gaan jy 2023 studeer?

Ek gaan medies by die Universiteit van die Vrystaat studeer.

Wat is jou boodskap vir die Klas van 2023 wat ook so goed soos jy wil presteer?

Om so hard te werk soos wat jy kan en die res in God se hande te plaas. Walk in faith; not in fear

NOORD-KAAP SE TOPPRESTEERDER

KLAS VAN 2022 | NSS EKSAMEN

Lize - Mari Loots - Hoërskool Diamantveld

Lize - Mari Loots wat verlede jaar aan die Hoërskool Diamantveld gematrikuleer het, is as die topleerder van die Noord-Kaap aangewys.

Het jy die goeie uitslae verwag of was jy verras?

Ek was totaal en al verras! Ek het redelike goeie uitslae verwag, maar na sekere van my vraestelle, veral die tweede Wiskunde vraestel, was ek seker dat my punte bietjie laer as gewoonlik sou wees. Ek het glad nie gedink dat ek so goed gedoen het nie en ek het selfs nie eers verwag om in die Top 20 te wees nie.

Wat was jou grootste uitdaging in jou matriekjaar?

My grootste uitdaging was om my fokus op my leerwerk te hou gedurende die rekordeksamen.

My pa is gedurende hierdie eksamen in die hospitaal opgeneem vir gesondheidstoetse, nadat hy in 2021 vir byna ‘n maand kritiek in ICU was en danksy God se genade vir ons gespaar is. Ons het die aand voor my Wiskunde toets baie slegte nuus ontvang oor ‘n terugslag in sy gesondheid, so ek het vir ‘n paar dae vreeslik gesukkel om my aandag by die eksamen te hou.

Sy gesondheid was genadiglik weer baie beter tydens die eindeksamen en hy was ook tuis by ons. Ander uitdagings was om ‘n balans tussen leerwerk en ontspanning te vind, sodat ek nie myself uitbrand voor die laaste toetse verby is nie. Dan is daar natuurlik ook die uitdaging van die keuse tussen uitgaan saam vriende en pret hê, of eerder ‘n aand voor die boeke.

Watter studiemetode het jy gebruik? Het jy ‘n spesiale “study hack” wat jy kan deel?

Ek het ‘n mengsel van die auditiewe, leesen-skryf, asook die kinetiese leerstyl gebruik.

Ek is iemand wat vinnig gefrustreerd raak as ek vir ‘n lang tyd moet stilsit en net op een ding konsentreer, daarom het ek gevind om YouTube videos oor my leerwerk te kyk terwyl ek byvoorbeeld kosmaak of ander takies in die huis

doen, my baie help. Dit het gehelp dat ek die “basics” van my werk verstaan voordat ek net ure voor die boeke sit. Dit het my leertyd verkort en my begrip omtrent my leerwerk versterk. Dis maar die “study hack” wat my gehelp het en dan ook baie oefening vir vakke soos Wiskunde en Fisiese Wetenskappe.

Watter drie hoogtepunte staan vir jou uit tydens jou hoërskooljare?

Meestal my toer na die VSA tydens my matriekjaar. Ons het Boston, New York, Washington en Orlando besoek waar ons wêreldberoemde attraksies besoek het en baie pret gehad het. Tweedens, al die opwinding saam vriende en familie tydens sportbyeenkomste, motorfietsresies en fietswedrenne. En laastens die groot prestasie en eer om die top matrikulant in die Noordkaap te wees en die vrugte te pluk vir al die harde werk wat ek deur die jare ingesit het, sodat ek nou na skool kan leer wat ek graag wil leer.

Wat is jou boodskap vir die klas van 2023 wat ook so goed soos jy wil presteer?

Werk elke dag hard en moenie agter raak nie. Fokus in die klas en vra onderwysers vir ekstra hulp wanneer jy dit nodig het. Moenie skool verby wens nie, geniet elke oomblik daarvan en gebruik elke geleentheid wat na jou kant toe kom. Gebruik die talente waarmee God jou geseën het, hetsy dit in sport, akademie of kultuur is en bedank hom elke dag daarvoor. Dink aan jou drome vir die toekoms wanneer jy mismoedig raak en wil opgee. Doen net jou bes en jy sal baie ver kom!

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.

Husnaa Haffejee - Al-Falaah College

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.

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.

2 Teneo students in the top 5 Matrics (1st & 2nd place)

Congratulations to SA’s top Matriculant Danielle Vierbergen who joined Teneo in 2021, and achieved a 93.43% average with seven distinctions.

Top 10 National SACAI Students 2022

• 1st place - Teneo student Danielle Vierbergen with 93.43% (7 distinctions)

• 2nd place - Teneo student Clarissa Jannae Iyer with 88.71% (6 Distinctions)

• 5th place - Teneo student Kayla De Lange with 84.57% (6 Distinctions)

• 9th place - Teneo student Danika Chetty with 82.42% (5 Distinctions)

14 Teneo SACAI Matriculants achieved 4 to 7 distinctions. Overall, we were pleased that Teneo’s pass rate was 9% higher than the 72% SACAI average pass rate. 39% of all SACAI Matric distinctions from Teneo students.

• 59% of Teneo Matriculants achieved Bachelors Pass

• 30% of Teneo Matriculants achieved Diploma Pass

12% of Teneo Matriculants achieved Higher Certificate Pass

IEB Pass Rate Kick Off with a Bang!

We are thrilled to announce the results of our first class of IEB Matrics. The top Matric at Teneo was Blessing Ibegbuna with 5 distinctions and an aggregate score of 83%. Well done, Blessing!

Matrieks van 2022: 100% fiks vir die lewe en gereed vir die toekoms!

Bethlehem Voortrekker Hoërskool is geleë in die hart van die Oos-Vrystaat en is toonaangewend op akademiese gebied. Jaarliks word tientalle van ons matrieks toegelaat tot die beste tersiêre instansies in die land. In die kernvakke: Wiskunde, Fisiese Wetenskappe en Rekeningkunde, het ons matrieks hul merk gemaak met goeie gemiddeldes en talle onderskeidings. In vakke soos Lewenswetenskappe, Besigheidstudies, Engels FAL, Lewensoriëntering en Wiskundige Geletterdheid, het hul ook nie teruggestaan vir ander skole in die provinsie nie met tien en meer onderskeidings.

Akademiese uitnemendheid is die topprioriteit by Bethlehem Voortrekker Hoërskool. Maar die bemagtiging van elke leerder, strek veel verder as die uitslagadvies. Ons strewe daarna om ons leerders selfstandig en lewensfiks te maak en voor te berei vir die hoogs kompeterende wêreld buite die skoolgronde en help hul dus om hul volle potensiaal in ‘n gelukkige, lewenskragtige omgewing waar ‘n gesonde balans tussen akademie, sport, kultuur en sosiaal heers, te bereik. Voortrekker leerders is dus nie net eksamengereed nie, maar juis toekomsgereed.

‘n Hoogsbekwame personeel is die dryfkrag agter elke leerder om hier weg te stap met toerusting wat Ewigheidswaarde het. Non sibi sed Patriae: Dis nie verniet ons leuse vir meer as 120 jaar nie. Ons doen dit nie vir onsself nie, maar vir ons kinders en ons vaderland.

BVHS bied ‘n wye beroepsgerigte vakkeuse aan om aan 100% van die leerders toelating tot tersiêre studies te bied. BVHS is ook ‘n komprehensiewe skool omdat ons oor ‘n Dienste-afdeling, wat Gasvryheidstudies en Toerisme insluit, en oor ‘n volledige Tegniese afdeling, beskik. Welgedaan aan hierdie Tegniese leerders wat ook nou spog met ‘n N3-teorie kwalifikasie. Dit is een van die unieke geleenthede wat BVHS aan ons streek se kinders bied.

Hierdie gees van uitnemendheid blyk besonder duidelik uit die uitstaande uitslae van die 2022 gr.12-klas van BVHS. Nie alleen behaal hulle ‘n 100% slaagsyfer met 165 onderskeidings tussen die groep van 148 nie, maar 100% van hulle kwalifiseer ook om aan tersiêre instansies te gaan studeer. 82.43% het toelating vir graadstudies behaal, 15.54% vir diplomastudies en 2.03% vir sertifikaatstudies.

Jaarliks tel BVHS onder die Vrystaat se topskole wanneer die matriekuitslae bekend gemaak word Wian Burger, ons Dux-leerder, bevind hom onder die Top 100-leerders in die Vrystaat. Wian behaal 8 onderskeidings in Afrikaans Huistaal (88%), Engels Eerste Addisionele Taal (92%), Wiskunde (92%), Fisiese Wetenskap (96%), Lewenswetenskappe (90%), IGO (96%), Rekenaarstegnologie (92%) en Lewensoriëntering (87%). 2 leerders behaal sewe onderskeidings, 1 ses onderskeidings, 6 leerders het vyf

One thing I think helped me achieve these top marks, was the consistency of my studying. All throughout high school, I made sure that I kept on top of my work and that I was understanding the fundamentals of every topic. This meant that I felt confident in matric that my foundations were solid for each subject, allowing me to just expand my knowledge through the grade 12 curriculum.

Kelly Grace Prowse from Rustenburg Girls’ High The 2022 overall NSC top learner for public schools

(JOINT) NATIONAL TOP ACHIEVER CLASS OF 2022 | NSC EXAMS)

Kelly Grace Prowse - Rustenburg Girls’ High

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.

Matric is a long year with many sets of exams and tests so don’t go all out at the beginning because you will face burnt out by the end. If you stay consistent, keep up with the workload and do a little bit of work every day, I am sure you will achieve some great results.
