The Abbotts College Pretoria East class of 2018 achieved a 99% pass rate, with 71% passing with access to bachelor’s degree study.
The college had 85 learners sitting for the national senior certificate exams.
Sushmitta Mannie and Rynahard Schoeman were singled out as the two top-performing learners, achieving three distinctions each.
Mannie obtained distinctions in economics, business studies, and life orientation.
She said her family inspired her to work hard and “they give me continuous support and motivation to work harder and live a life of which I am proud”.
“They have shown me if I put my mind to anything it is possible. They all have achieved great things and I wish to make them proud.”
She plans to study BComm in economics at the University of Stellenbosch and would like to be an investment banker.
Mannie maintained her status in the top 10 for most of the year and participated in the school’s orators competition.
“I want to be successful and live a happy healthy lifestyle. I want to try my best to positively impact and help people where I can,” she said.
She lives by the motto: “Be the flower that gives its fragrance even to the hand that crushes it.”
Schoeman obtained distinctions in Afrikaans, mathematical literacy and life orientation.
Abbotts College Pretoria East deputy principal Ancy Idiculla congratulated the class of 2018.
“We thank all our parents, teachers and learners for their hard work in the 2018 academic year and wish all our learners the best as they proceed into the next phase of their lives,” she said.
