The 39 learners that make up the class of 2020 matrics at Veritas College can be very proud of their performance.
The learners achieved 49 distinctions between them and the school achieved a 99 per cent pass rate, with one learner still to submit their exams for a remark.
Judy Achary, acting head of the senior school, said they are proud of their learners.
“Well done Class of 2020 on coping with the challenges of Covid-19.
“While matric is the final chapter in the epic story of school education, it is only the beginning of exciting new adventures.
“We thank every one of our dedicated staff members, from our pre-preparatory, preparatory and senior school phases, for their commitment and passion with which they approach each day, and for always inspiring our learners to be the heroes of their own stories.
“Teachers, you are magnificent for showing such commitment to your learners and expertise in your subject.
“I would also like to thank all our parents and families for their endless support in ensuring that our learners reach their full potential,” said Achary.
