Saheti proud of matriculants

Saheti School has said it is proud of the results produced by the matric class of 2016.

The class recorded a whopping 202 distinctions, which represents 36 per cent of the overall subject results (2.8 distinctions per candidate), with 92.9 per cent of the group achieving one or more distinctions.

In addition to the 100 per cent pass rate and 99 per cent degree pass, the school this year boasts five full house distinction passes.

“Furthermore, 73 per cent of Saheti’s matriculants registered for more than the mandatory seven subjects. Forty-nine per cent of the group wrote eight subjects while 21 per cent wrote nine subjects. Two learners wrote 10 subjects. The full house distinction pass candidates all wrote eight or nine subjects, achieving 90 per cent in many of their subjects. In total there were 41 A+ marks, with an impressive 100 per cent for mathematics achieved by full house distinction candidate Gabriela Steenekamp and 99 per cent for mathematics by Savvas Panagiotou. The school’s top achiever, Michael Stephanou, not only achieved full house distinctions but ensured that each of those were within the A+ category,” said Ms Anna Botha, the school’s head of marketing.

Executive headmaster Mr Warwick Taylor said the ethos at Saheti is to motivate a positive sense of achievement and self-worth in learners and a belief that hard work and a positive mindset can yield excellence.

“I congratulate all of our learners for their hard work and dedication that is reflected by these results. It is not just the number of top achievers that have produced the results, but the entire matric class of 2016 performed well. I thank the teachers and parents for their support in ensuring the success of our matrics and I wish all of our students everything of the best as they embark on the next phase of their academic journey,” said Mr Taylor.
