Despite the many hurdles such as protests and load-shedding AllanRidge Secondary School still managed to obtain 71.01 per cent pass rate.
On 8 January the class of 2019 matric learners visited their school for what might be the last time, to collect their results. Former learners of the school appeared to be excited and ready to take on the big world.
Charles Goma who is a learner from the school expressed that it was a tough year for him adding that he endured a lot of pressure from the teachers, as they expected excellence from him. “Basically we had to work hard, attend extra classes and Saturday classes. So my hopes for this year is to make money and go to school to study law.”
Lubabalo Boyce, also a learner added that most of his year was not easy. “We all came to school aiming high as we all wanted to pass but thankfully at the end, we made it. Matric was tough but we had to push harder. In 2020 I am going to pursue music and work to be financially free.”
Shanice Plaatjies, added, “Matric was fun I enjoyed my matric year and felt like it was the best year I have ever had. I am hoping to study for a bachelor in governance municipality management at Northwest University.”
Ntsoaki Nyoni said that matric was fun, especially the study camps and attending study programmes in other schools but it was also filled with tough moments because of the strikes were they could not go to school and study.
“We missed out on other syllabuses. But I am excited that I passed, so this year. I want to study at the Free State University even though my English marks say otherwise, I hope to study computer informatics.”
Lastly, Tanya Scholtz who also went to Allan Ridge added that matric was fun but difficult at the same time. “There were joyful moments and there were tough moments but I am happy I made it. I am hoping to study education or human resources.”
AllanRidge learners were able to attain 27 distinctions, 53 bachelor passes, 60 diploma passes and 34 higher certificate passes overall.
