Class of 2019

The 2019 Matric results were officially released on the 6th of January 2020 and the Class of 2019 has given us a superb start to the year. We are extremely proud of the outstanding achievements of this group of talented and dedicated students while also paying tribute to the high quality of the teaching and learning that is an integral part of the Academics at the College. We plan to take this to the next level in 2020 but for now please bear with me as I “boast” about the achievements of the Class of 2019 in the next few pages!

The Class of 2019 have produced outstanding results. They have achieved a 100% pass rate, 108 out of the 115 candidates (93.9%) achieved a Bachelor Degree Pass and 7 candidates achieved a Diploma Pass (6.1%). This class also achieved 192 distinctions, which translates into 1.67 distinctions per candidate. 

• 1 candidates achieved 9 distinctions

• 3 candidates achieved 6 distinctions

• 4 candidates achieved 5 distinctions

• 73 out of the 115 candidates will take home a certificate that has at least one distinction. Great Effort!

Also worth noting:

• 251 “B”s and 207 “C”s were achieved 

• 7 subjects achieved the outstanding feat of having no marks below 50%: Business Studies, Dance, Drama, English, French,    Mathematical Literacy and Visual Art 

• Of the 19 examination subjects that were written – 14 achieved averages that were above the IEB National Averages.

• Included in these 14 were English, Mathematics, Afrikaans and Physical Sciences- all subjects that had 50 candidates or more.

• The 5 subjects that did not achieve a higher average, were subjects with too few candidates for the averages to be informative or subjects that were within 1% of the IEB average.
