Matthew promoted to Grade 7



I must say that I am a proud dad today because Matthew's school report came late this afternoon and he did exceptionally well. Matthew got two distinctions Mathematics 85.7% and Life Orientation 80%. Followed hotly on its heals were Technology 78.5%; Natural Sciences 77.6%; English 77.5% ; Economic & Management Sciences 76.5% Social Sciences 67.9% and Art & Culture 65.6%. With Afrikaans, Matthew scraped through at 42.5% but like his daddy, languages are not our strong suite. I have many Afrikaans friends so we'll have to get him speaking die taal.
