We are incredibly proud of our matrics in the St John’s College Academy Class of 2022, who, despite enduring the hardships of the pandemic, has returned a fantastic set of results in their final matric examinations. Our young men joined us back at St John’s for a celebratory lunch in their honour.
Our students amassed 33 distinctions between them, with almost all achieving a bachelor pass - 50% more distinctions than last year. Each year, five Academy boys take the IEB’s Further Studies Mathematics (formerly AP Maths) as an elective subject. Two of our young men, Zandile Habile and Tshepang Mokoto, attained a distinction, with Philani Mgquba achieving 79%.
The St John’s College Academy relies on the generosity of our Community, and we are especially grateful to our anchor funders, The Joan Norman Trust and Summit Education Trust, who, together with other private donors, make this programme possible.
We wish our young men all the best as they start the next phase of their academic careers at various institutions, including UCT, Tukkies and UJ. We also congratulate Philani Mgquba, who was awarded a full scholarship to join St John’s Sixth Form this year to complete his Cambridge A-levels.
