KENILWORTH High School’s first Grade 12 class achieved a stunning 100 per cent pass rate, with the 75 matriculants obtaining only diploma and bachelor degree passes to make both their parents and teachers proud.
School principal, Morgan Radebe, gladly announced that the school is one of the smallest and under-resourced schools in the south but that did not stop them from working hard as the teachers and learners believe that as a person, you are a resource yourself and do not need a fully functional large library to achieve.
The school hosted a celebration event on Wednesday, January 6, at its premises in Kennedy Street, Kenilworth, hosting executive members from the Johannesburg Department of Education and DA ward Clr Landis Rashieda and DA PR Clr Tyrell Meyers.
All the teachers received awards for their hard work and dedication and were praised by Radebe for sacrificing their family time to spend time with the learners at the school and at a camp where the students took studying to another level. It’s amazing how eight of the 75 students who did not make it in the first, second and third term, turned things around to achieve four diploma and four bachelor degree passes in the final exams.
