From a Grade 12 pass rate of 40.4% in 2021 to 93.3% for the Class of 2022, Phola Secondary School was the most improved school in the White Hazy 2 Circuit near Hazyview.

A patron of the Phola Secondary School, Bp Dr Gadi Manzini, handed over a trophy to the school in recognition of the great improvement of Grade 12 results on Friday February 24.

“The Class of 2022 has made us very proud. Applause to the management of the school, teachers and the learners. As guardian assigned to the school, it makes me honoured to be part of a school that shows improvement,” Manzini said.

He hopes this milestone will motivate the Class of 2023 and the educators to work even harder to obtain a 100% pass rate.
