“I congratulate our class of 2021 on their wonderful academic achievement. The whole world experienced a difficult 2021 and we were not spared. However, our learners and educators kept a positive attitude, remained motivated and set goals that were achieved at the end of the year. We are proud of the hard work shown by the learners and their excellent results are proof of this,” said Zafer Zor, principal of Horizon High School.
Horizon’s student Katlego Makhubu detailed his matric success story.
“I hail from Liefde n Vrede. I was the head boy in 2021 and graduated from Horizon high school with 7 distinctions in Afrikaans, maths, LO, accounting, life sciences, physical sciences and religion studies. I prepared for my exams by summarising the notes I had already in my various subject notebooks and practising past papers.
“Horizon High has changed my life by equipping me with skills such as self-discipline and the value of hard work. The motivating conversations with educators also helped me. I faced challenges like anxiety and lots of stress but I had to ensure it did not overwhelm me. I plan to pursue my studies in medicine and I am deciding between UCT and Wits.”
