After the long and anticipated wait, the 2019 National Senior Certificate (NSC) results have finally been released.<\/p>\n

Germiston High School learners gave a sigh of relief as they arrived at the school early to collect their results.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe are very satisfied with our results,\u201d said Ren\u00e9e Goosen, who is the principal of Germiston High School.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked hard with these matrics, and they were not a particularly strong academic group, however, they were given support and assisted wherever possible through numerous intervention strategies.\u201d<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The school received 55 distinctions and a pass rate of 95.45 per cent.<\/p>\n

Two-hundred-and-one learners wrote matric, with 81 learners receiving their bachelor\u2019s passes and 86 learners receiving diploma passes.<\/p>\n

Top achiever and representative council of learners (RCL) president, Ntuthuko Hlatshwayo, received seven distinctions in English, Afrikaans, life orientation, mathematics, economics, life sciences and physical science.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was surprised with my results,\u201d said Hlatshwayo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very proud with the outcome, even though I know I can do better, I am very happy with my results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hlatshwayo is planning on studying medicine and has her heart set on specialising in neurology.<\/p>\n

Other top achievers at Germiston High School were Nuha Alli and Lesedi Mashego, who received five distinctions each, and Atlegang Maubane and Nozipho Ntonibela with four distinctions each.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was shocked with my physical science mark because I was not expecting a percentage above 85 per cent, and I got 86 per cent, but the rest of my results I did expect,\u201d said Ntonibela.<\/p>\n

Ntonibela plans on studying civil engineering at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) this year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOur matrics and our staff members are congratulated and thanked for the excellent work done in 2019, and we look forward to even better results in 2020,\u201d said Goosen.<\/p>\n

Goosen was also proud to share that Germiston High School remains a top performing school.<\/p>\n
