St Martin’s School celebrates the matric class of 2022
The learners, despite experiencing the knock-on effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, fared very well in their exams.
St Martin’s School shared the results of their matric class of 2022 at a celebratory breakfast attended by the learners, their parents and staff at the new high school campus in The Hill on January 18.
Acting principal Warren Venter said, “While we are proud that of our 44 learners, 43 passed (equating to a 97% pass rate), we are exceptionally proud of the fact that 84% of our learners qualify to study a bachelor’s degree, and that 95% of our learners qualify to study further.
When one takes into consideration the fact that St Martin’s does not ‘gate-keep’ and accepts learners from all walks of life, despite academic ability, learning differences, or background, this is hugely impressive.
“Another important statistic to consider is our school’s comparison to the IEB National Average – in other words, our average per subject compared to the entire cohort of IEB learners who wrote that subject. Three of the subjects offered at St Martin’s, English, dramatic arts and life sciences, are above the national average, which is no small feat! This is a testament to the quality and expertise of the teachers employed at St Martin’s.
“Finally, I would like to congratulate the dramatic arts department. Of the 15 learners who selected dramatic arts, 12 received a distinction and no learner obtained below 60% for the subject.”
