T

he inaugural Metro East Education District (MEED) Matric Awards ceremony, which took place on Wednesday 7 February at Protea Heights Academy High School in Brackenfell, saw local principal Gerhard Odendaal receive one of four Director’s Awards.

matric pass rate of 98%. The ceremony, aimed at motivating local teachers and principals to deliver quality education despite having to teach in difficult circumstances, saw principals and teachers from 71 schools come together to celebrate their achievements throughout the 2017 academic year. The MEED stretches through the Helderberg basin, Macassar, Khayelitsha, the Blue Downs basin, Kuils River, Brackenfell, Kraaifontein and parts of Bellville. The keynote speaker was Prof. Nico Koop-

man, vice-rector of Stellenbosch University. In his speech, Koopman said that the ceremony presented teachers, learners and principals with an opportunity to celebrate not only mere performance, but excellent performance. He further said that schools allow for a space in which learners can fully develop themselves. During his address Koopman focused on the seven P’s that influence the performance of schools.
