excellent academic standards, with annual success rates of 100% at Matric level and a very

high percentage of candidates obtaining Exemptions. Since 1996, its pupils have written theIndependent Examination Board Matric which is regarded as the pre-eminent examination

body in South Africa. Modern educational equipment and methods help the pupils develop a

spirit of inquiry so that they will undertake personal independent study. The Learning Resource
