Fourways High School is celebrating a remarkable achievement in the 2023 National Senior Certificate examinations, announcing a record-breaking 98.5% pass rate. This outstanding result marks the school's best performance to date, with a substantial 85% of matriculants achieving bachelor's degree passes, qualifying them for university entrance. The consistent hard work of both learners and educators has culminated in this impressive academic milestone, underscoring the school's commitment to educational excellence in the northern Johannesburg area.
The school's principal, Mr. Andrew Sutherland, highlighted the dedication of the entire school community. "We are incredibly proud of our matric Class of 2023. Their resilience and commitment, coupled with the unwavering support from our teaching staff and parents, have been instrumental in achieving these exceptional results," said Sutherland. "Many of our learners have secured distinctions across a range of subjects, reflecting the high standard of teaching and the rigorous academic environment fostered here in Fourways. This success not only benefits our students but also strengthens the educational landscape of our growing community."
