Many students have had to adapt to operating during the pandemic, and students have achieved greatness through the amazing schools on our North Coast. We find out more about some of our schools and look at what the new year holds for them.
Ashton International College
At the Matric Valedictory the Class of 2021 lit candles. Light is a symbol to all humanity – signifying many things. A source of illumination and intelligence and often connected to spiritual hope. The Class of 2021 endured two of the most challenging years in modern history during the COVID-19 pandemic, but they were supported by staff and parents, offering support, wellbeing, commitment to carry them and encourage them. Ashton this week celebrated phenomenal results in the Cambridge A Level and AS Level examinations, the Cambridge IGCSE Examinations and the challenging IEB Examinations giving Ashton a Hat Trick of 100% passes. The Cambridge Class of 2021 returned an average of 4,7 distinctions per candidate, whilst the IEB students notched up 160 distinctions equating to an average of 2,7 distinctions per candidate.
“Ashton were extremely proud to have four students on the IEB Curriculum achieving in the top 1% Nationally in three subjects, Courtney Toweel and Diya Ramnarain for Business Studies both on 95%, Jack Bell for English on 90% and Arya Prakaschandra with 99% for Hindi. On the Cambridge Curriculum, Christopher Hill impressed with 10 distinctions, and an average of 90%. Prishanti Govender clinched nine distinctions with an average of 84% whilst Kate Biebuyck with seven distinctions and an average of 83,7% was on the third step. The top AS Level achiever was Kyle Fisher.
22% of the IEB Matrics scored an average of 80% and above. 77% of the IGCSE students who wrote the examination in their Grade 10 year, (equivalent to a GCSE – matric in the UK) achieved an average of 80% and above.
“We are so ecstatic about all the results, as we have carried through the momentum of our 100% pass rate on both the IEB and Cambridge Curriculum. We believe every student received the best academic and emotional support from our specialized staff in both curricula and we thank the staff and parents for the encouragement, prayers and nurturing of these students throughout this challenging examination period,” said Mrs Jenny van Buuren, Head of the Senior College.
