CBC celebrates 100% matric pass rate

ST PATRICK’S CBC achieved a 100 percent pass rate in the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) matric exams for the 13th consecutive year.

The executive head of the school, Craig Neave, stated that the overall results continued to improve each year due to the improved focus on the school’s academic programme, from junior school right through to Grade 12.

He also congratulated Dux pupil Daniel Goncalves, who obtained an aggregate of 92%, with a full house of distinctions in his nine subjects.

He said Goncalves was placed in the top one percent of IEB candidates in two subjects - Afrikaans and Physical Sciences.

“He was also recognised for being placed in the top five percent of IEB Candidates nationally in six or more subjects (excluding Life Orientation).”

Neave added that Ryan Potgieter was placed in the top one percent of IEB candidates in Physical Sciences.

“Our pupils and teachers are embracing modern teaching and learning techniques to ensure outstanding results. Our pupils achieved a university pass rate of 84.6 percent and an aggregate of 66 percent,” said Neave.
