Sunward Park teachers acknowledged

Sunward Park High School and Sunward High Performance School mathematics and physical science teachers were awarded for best-performing teachers at the Godfrey Pitje Academic Excellence Awards on February 7 at the Germiston City Hall.

During the award ceremony, the City celebrated 99 top achievers from across Ekurhuleni including the most improved schools – a category that saw some institutions leaping from a pass rate of just above 50% to over 80% in the latest matric results.

Members of the Sunward High Performance School, who received awards, are the HOD for mathematics, Tazz Chiavaviro and the HOD for physical science, Aibu Mbela.

Teachers from Sunward Park High School’s mathematics department, who were awarded, are Sinikiwe Matsa and Terence Chirambadare as well as physical science teacher Nhlonipho Gumbo.

At the award ceremony the Mayor of Ekurhuleni, Sivuyile Ngodwana, took the opportunity to encourage the matric class of 2023 to continue being shining stars as they pursue their studies further.

“This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter of your life. I am looking forward to experiencing how you will shake things up for our city and the greater society, making us an even better place to live, invest and play,” he said.

The mayor took the opportunity to encourage the youngsters to vote in the upcoming national and provincial elections so that they can shape the future of the country and have a say in how it is being led and the direction being taken by those in leadership.

“These are the gains of our democracy and you must seize the opportunity to choose the government of your choice.”
