VALEDICTORIAN CLASS OF 2020

“You have made it through the fire and like a phoenix, you have risen from the ashes.”

Congratulations to our Class of 2020 Valedictorian and our top matric achiever, Zahrah A., from Manenberg who achieved six distinctions. Zahrah plans on pursuing a degree in PPE Humanities: Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Cape Town. Her dream is to become a diplomat and help solve global issues.

“To the class of 2020, I would like to say, you’ve made it! You’ve survived a global pandemic, a national lockdown, a brief period of load-shedding, a few earthquakes, an economic recession, and the harsh circumstances we have had to experience in our personal lives. You have made it through the fire and like a phoenix, you have risen from the ashes,” said Zahrah.

Zahrah thanks her family, particularly her mother and her aunt who were her inspiration and her teachers who always encouraged her to work hard.
