Hoërskool Randburg celebrated their 2019 matriculants in the first week of January. The high school graduates made themselves proud in their final matric exams. The matriculants made their way to the school in a jovial manner, prepared to celebrate the fruits of their hard work the morning results were released.
The top student in the matric group was Klarika Keyter. Klarika was happy with her eight distinctions and planned to query one of her marks as she was sure a remark would result in a ninth distinction.
“I would encourage matrics to enjoy the year and take everything step by step,” was the advice from the exceptional academic achiever.
Klarika was excited to begin her chemical engineering studies at the University of Pretoria this year. She also expressed glee at the prospect of the university experience on the horizon. Klarika was especially eager to become acclimatised to the residence life.
Principal of Hoërskool Randburg Pieter Booysen was pleased with the efforts of the learners.
“We are satisfied. The results compare favourably to how they did during the year. There were no unpleasant surprises. We had one failure which is a disappointment but we’ll have a look at that one and register that candidate for the supplementary exams and hopefully that will go well.”
The learners achieved a 93 per cent university entrance and 1.4 distinctions per candidate. The matric group of 98 learners was one of the smallest the school had had in years.
Booysen encouraged matric learners to, ‘work from day one. They need to attend school every day, even if they feel a little bit sick –they’ve got to go to school. It’s so important to attend every single lesson, and then that afternoon they need to sit down and revise what they have done in school that day. And then prepare properly for every single test and exam and then you will be fine by the end of the year.”
