Head of high school Camilla Pretorius said the school had a total of 24 matric learners, where they obtained two A aggregates.
“We had three B aggregates, eight subject A aggregates, 39 subject B aggregates, and 21 subject C aggregates. As the school, we are very proud of all the learners who worked hard to achieve these outstanding numbers. We are also very proud of our isiZulu First Additional Language with their average of 81,14%.,” said Pretorius.
She wished all the learners well in their future plans as they take different paths in life and begin their journey to youth and ultimately adulthood.

IsiZulu teacher, Busi Mncube, also known as Mama Mncube, said she was excited as the hours she put into the subject yielded positive results.
“There were so many challenges that we all [teachers and learners] came across because they had other subjects. So, our intervention strategy was to work on weekends, during school holidays, and sometimes online learning,” said Mncube.
“We set out targets and I am glad that as a team, we worked towards achieving those targets. I am standing in front of you right now as a pleased teacher who helped her learners achieve positive results,” said Mncube.
