Trinityhouse celebrates outstanding academic achievement

Trinityhouse Randpark Ridge recently hosted their high school academic honours awards evening.

The evening was held to honour the achievement of their high school learners from last year. The school also welcomed the top achievers from their Class of 2019 to celebrate their achievements. The top learners boasted averages in the nineties which was a testament to the power of determination, focus and consistency.

The evening began with an academic procession where The Trinity Singers provided a musical accompaniment to the entrance of the academic staff. The school staff entered the school hall in their gowns and their hoods in various colours according to their qualification.

Attendees were welcomed to the awards evening at the school by teacher Kate Poole followed by a devotion presented by senior deputy principal Clare Pretorius. The school hymn was then performed by The Trinity Singers while learner Kate Solomon played the piano. Principal Farone Eckstein followed the musical performance where he recalled last year in academics at the high school. “This is possibly the best set of results we’ve ever had in the history of high school.”

The top matric achievers from last year were then called up to the stage, as the headmaster provided details of their achievements to audience members. Top learner Rafaela Halkas was recognised by the International Examination Board as well as ADvTECH schools for her exceptional achievement and awarded R20 000 in total as prize money from both organisations. Rafaela was in the top 5 per cent in six or more subjects and also maintained a rating level of 7 in life orientation in the IEB exams.

The learners who followed from younger grades were awarded a variety of awards from junior and senior academic colours, to persistence in particular subjects which was dependent on their results. Top achievers in the grade boasted averages in the nineties. The evening was concluded with the national anthem and tea served to attendees.
