Nomzamo High School is “proud” to have achieved the 80,1% pass rate for the 2022 National Senior Certificate results and raking in 79 bachelor passes.
The school from Nomzamo had 171 learners who wrote their matric examinations with 137 passing and 33 of them achieving diploma passes.
This was an impressive improvement for the school compared to the 2021 matric results where they obtained 66, 4%.
The school principal Chris Mgubanto attributed the good results to several issues, including, “spot-on analysis” “teachers’ willingness” and children attending school programmes.
“It always brings a great feeling when your strategies all come to fruition. We are quite happy with the achievement of our learners for this 2022 class,” he said.
“Our attendance on programmes to help the learners were very good and this is part of the reason we saw such a huge improvement. Our teachers also came to the party, by showing great willingness to assist these learners to do well and it showed at the end of the day,” said a relaxed Mgubanto.
He believes if learners lack somewhere, it is for teachers to come up with different approaches to help them, other than rely on “one approach fits all”.
“I will always say, know your children well, so you can approach them accordingly,” he advised.
In the meantime, Simanyene Secondary School obtained 79%, a slight increase from the school’s 2021 pass rate of 77,7%. Khanyolwethu Secondary School grabbed 66%, an improvement from 61,6% for the previous year.
Simanyene’s principal Monwabisi Matshoba attributed the increase in the pass rate to the “dedication” of both teachers and learners.
He added that they also held a camp for the first time for Maths and Maths Literacy which increased their pass mark.
“My calculations were around 86% but we were dealt a huge blow by a subject we thought our learners will easily pass. In the previous year, our learners had obtained 92% on the subject but this time around it was totally different and that impacted negatively on our results,” he said.
The school had 266 learners that wrote, 93 obtained bachelor passess, 63 scooped Diploma and 50 grabbed H while there were seven incomplete results.
