High school’s alumni gives back to class of 2020 top achievers
“We are very proud of them, particularly considering the difficult conditions they faced in 2020."
High school alumni from the Hofmeyr High School in Atteridgeville, west of Pretoria, recently held a prize-giving ceremony to the top-performing learners from the matric class of 2020.
During the ceremony, the top learners received trophies, certificates and brand new laptops which were sponsored by the Hofmeyr high school alumni association.
“We decided to celebrate and honour the top achieving matriculants – not only because of their hard work and dedication they showed during difficult times due to the pandemic – but also to equip them adequately as they go off into their institutes of higher learning,” the association’s chairperson Oupa Masuku said.
“We want them, as our children, to do their best.”
Masuku added that the occasion also served to inspire the class of 2021 to strive to do even better than their predecessors as the event was hosted with them looking on.
“We hope they will break the record made by the class of 2020 and that they attain even more distinctions,” he said.
The former matric class have achieved a total of 18 distinctions, with one learner achieving a total of four distinctions.
“We are very proud of them, particularly considering the difficult conditions they faced in 2020,” Masuku concluded.
