Everyone is so focussed on our local matriculants that they forget about the other pupils in the Randfontein area.
With this letter I want to encourage every pupil that starts with exams in the next few weeks to start preparing for their exams today.
Yes, the matriculants have the most pressure on them to excel during these exams, but exams are very important for every pupil as this shows what they have learned throughout the year.
Therefore I want to challenge every school pupil in Randfontein to use every spare second to prepare for their exams.
Academics are really important to you as it will give you an edge the day you leave school. It is not only important to boast with great marks in your final year but throughout your school career.
I believe that Randfontein’s pupils truly will excel during this year’s final exams but it remains your choice whether you want to lead by example or follow a mediocre crowd.
