Johannesburg - Once again, Curro’s matriculants have scored top marks for the matric year 2022. This was revealed by the top school’s team on Wednesday following the release of the IEB matric results on Wednesday morning.
In a statement, the school, which saw more than 1 800 learners write their matric exams this past year, said it is delighted that its Matric Class of 2022 recorded an exceptional 98.63% pass rate for the 2022 academic year.
Curro Holdings CEO Cobus Loubser said this achievement is based on the performance of its 1893 learners who wrote the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) exams last year.
Loubser said among the triumphant achievers are nine learners who each bagged a spot on the IEB’s Outstanding Achiever’s list.
"Learners who made it onto this prestigious IEB list have all achieved within the top 5% in six or more subjects and scored a rating level of 7 in Life Orientation."
According to the school, among these outstanding achievers are Isabella Campbell from Heron Bridge College, who obtained 9 distinctions; Natasha Honey from Curro Hazeldean, who achieved 8 distinctions; and Mohamed Ismail Salejee from Heritage House, who also obtained 8 distinctions as well as a 99% in mathematics.
On top of this, 12 more learners received recognition as part of the IEB’s Commendable Achievements, meaning they’ve achieved within the top 5% in 5 subjects and scored a rating level of 7 in Life Orientation.
Loubser said this presents a great opportunity for the learners who earn great marks in 2022.
"The majority of Curro’s learners (67%) achieved a minimum of a C average, and 190 learners achieved an A average. Curro’s talented learners can now access some of the best tertiary education available to pursue their dreams and build bright futures."
"Curro’s academic faculty is incredibly proud of its learners’ results. We commend our learners who have proven their talent and acumen to produce remarkable results. It has been wonderful to watch our learners grab every opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed in the classroom. The sheer calibre of these learners is evident in their results, and these qualities will stand them in good stead as they take on new challenges as leaders of tomorrow," Loubser said.
