Author: Christel House South Africa

Today we celebrate a phenomenal achievement - a 100% matric pass rate and a bachelor pass of 89.2%! Please join us in congratulating the Christel House SA class of 2022.

Our school’s matric pass rate is 19.9% higher compared to the national average of 80.1% and our bachelor pass is more than double the national average of 38.4%.

Abdu-Shakoor A. from Grassy Park, is the top-performing matriculant and Valedictorian for the class of 2022. He achieved five subject distinctions and will be studying Civil Engineering at Stellenbosch University. Abdu-Shakoor started his schooling career at a public school where he explains things were tough as he shared a classroom with over 60 other children. He joined Christel House SA in Grade 6 where he was more comfortable in a class with 30 students. He says, "I might come from a humble background where I face many challenges, but I have supportive parents and a school that makes sure I have the best resources and dedicated teachers. I’ve had the best support and I am eternally grateful.”

Chelsea S. from Manenberg also received five subject distinctions. She has applied to study towards a Business Science degree at The University of Cape Town. Both of Chelsea’s parents are unemployed and with two other siblings, her family has faced many financial challenges. Chelsea says, “Despite our financial challenges, we were and still are very optimistic about life. I have always been an introverted, shy girl but my teachers helped me to overcome my fear of public speaking.” Chelsea aims to become a successful businesswoman and help her family improve their financial situation.

Collectively, our matric students managed to achieve 23 academic subject distinctions and 7 in Life Orientation. Have a look at our results compared to the national statistics below.
