Part of the organising team, Khethiwe Radebe, said the awards were designed to motivate learners to continue striving for excellence and to show others that success is within reach.
“We organised these awards as a way to inspire the learners, especially the Grade 12s, as they prepare for their preliminary exams.”
“This term, we introduced new categories to recognise both achievement and merit, ensuring that learners appreciate the recognition and are encouraged to work even harder,” said Radebe.
Principal Richard Masemola added: “I am delighted that we get to celebrate our learners’ achievements for the second term.”
“This is a joint effort. It took blood, sweat and tears to get these results. Learners have been attending even on Saturdays, showing true commitment.”
