                                        Matric success at Aberdeen Secondary

Principal Kerneels Kamfer Is delighted with the 58% pass rate achieved by the 2012 matriculants of Aberdeen Secondary School. Of the 31 learners who were entered for the exams, 18 passed, and all but one of those who were unsuccessful have qualified to write the supplementary exams next month. Seven of the learners received marks high enough to study for a bachelor's degree at university, and a further six achieved the necessary grades to pursue a diploma course. The top student is Nadier Flippies, who has been an outstanding achiever throughout his school career.

The school's results show an encouraging rise from the 2011 level of a 46% pass rate, and it is hoped that this trend will continue for the 44 learners who are in grade twelve this year.
