It was an emotional morning for the Springs Girls High School’s class of 2025 as they received their matric results on January 13.The school achieved a 97% pass rate with 121 distinctions.One of the two learners who received six distinctions, Jeanel Mtetwa, said she cried when she saw her results.She bought a newspaper at the garage in Selcourt and was shaking while searching for her school.“When I saw how many distinctions I got, I started crying because I was already confused; I was in doubt if it was my exam number, and I was surprised by the subjects,” said Mtetwa.

Not putting pressure on herself also motivated her to move at her own pace.Vamba’s highest mark of 91% was in business studies. She thanked her subject teacher, Mpho Ngakane, who helped her to get these results.“I had a rocky relationship with business studies in obtaining distinctions throughout high school, and it is funny how I got a distinction at the end,” she said.Motloung was a bit disappointed because she was aiming for more distinctions. Setting high goals for herself and staying in her lane helped her achieve her results.She faced some challenges during the year, including burning out from the pressure of the previous year, the stress of maintaining good marks, and studying for the National Benchmark Test.
