Willowmoore High School achieved a 97.1% pass rate in the NSC exams, with around 120 learners obtaining distinctions while 64.1% walked away with bachelor’s passes.
Kavita Fakir is the school’s top achiever with seven distinctions while Zaynab Teladia, Zahrah Asmal, Maya Bhana and Aakifha Laher obtained six distinctions.
Over the moon about their achievements, principal Lorna Sanders thanked the learners for their commitment.
“We are very proud of our learners and teaching staff. Thank you for all the hard work. Our pass rate and bachelor’s pass rate have improved with this matric group,” she said.
The school further made history after obtaining a 100% pass rate for IsiZulu.
According to teacher Khabonina Tsotetsi, the language was introduced in 2018 and none of the children in the 2022 class ever studied IsiZulu at primary school level.
“Some of these learners only changed to IsiZulu in Grade 10. We had 23 learners. We got 12 distinctions, 10 level six and one level five.
“I’m elated and proud of my learners. They have performed beyond my expectation. They have made history as the first cohort to do IsiZulu. We thank our principal for having allowed the introduction of the language,” Tsotetsi said.
