Jubilant faces and echoes of loud cheer filled the school as the Matric class collected their certificates on 5 January.
Principal of the school, Willie de Wet said that he was ecstatic that the Matrics managed to achieve this great feat. “Work to get the Matrics ready for final their Matric year started when they were in Grade 11,” he explained.
He said the Matrics’ success was not only due to their stern commitment to do well but also due to the teachers who worked in their free time to ensure the learners did their best.
