“As Head of the Senior College I am incredibly proud of the class of 2020, who showed determination during a challenging year. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, all of our students were able to sit their final Cambridge and IEB examinations on campus,” said Jenny van Buuren.
“We are thrilled that the excellence we continuously strive for extends to every single subject that we offer, with wonderful achievements being recorded.”
