The school announced a 98.5% pass rate, a notable increase from previous years, alongside a significant rise in bachelor's degree passes, reaching 85%.
The outstanding results are a testament to the hard work and commitment of both the students and the teaching staff. Subjects like Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Accounting saw particularly strong performances, with a higher number of distinctions achieved across the board. This success positions Fourways High School as a leading educational institution within the northern Johannesburg region, contributing to the community's reputation for academic excellence.
Mrs. Eleanor van der Merwe, Principal of Fourways High School, expressed immense pride in the matriculant's accomplishments. "We are incredibly proud of our 2023 matric class for setting a new benchmark for academic success at Fourways High. Their dedication, combined with the tireless efforts of our educators, has truly paid off. These results not only open doors for our students' future but also uplift the entire Fourways community," she stated. The school attributes part of its success to targeted intervention programmes and an enhanced focus on mental well-being support for students during the demanding matric year.
The school is now preparing to welcome its new Grade 8 intake, with expectations high for continued academic excellence. The improved matric results are anticipated to further enhance Fourways High School's appeal to prospective students and families residing in Fourways, Dainfern, and Broadacres, reinforcing its role as a cornerstone of local education.
