We accepted the invitation from the Department of Education to attend the Excellence Awards ceremony, held at Harry Oppenheimer Secondary. As a District that consistently produces quality passes, our District Director aptly notes that excellence thrives where it is shared. Inspired by our leader's words, I firmly believe that the future looks promising for Capricorn North District.
The Excellence Awards ceremony commenced, and the anticipation was palpable as everyone eagerly awaited the announcement of the award recipients. Kgaugelo Thikho from Bahlaloga Circuit secured the Grade 8 position 1 with an impressive average of 90.88%.
Leboho Lethaba obtained Grade 9 position 1, achieving 9 distinctions in her subjects, and is from Manoe Secondary School in Maleboho Central Circuit, also known as The Blue Army, the Blue Nation.
For Grade 10, Mahanyele Kabelo, the RCL Treasurer of Capricorn North District, obtained 100% in Mathematics, and two or three other learners from Dendron SS achieved notable results. Lamola Mmadikata from Dendron SS secured Grade 10 position 1 and has a promising future.
For Grade 11, we have the one and only Seemane Lesedi obtaining an average of 96.33%, I can smell the future inside of her achievement. We have the RCL Deputy President of Capricorn North District obtaining position 16, his name is Madubanya Lesiba.
I wonder what they feed learners at Dendron SS because the majority of the learners in the top 50 are from Dendron SS. For Grade 12, the top 4 include Makgafela Mokgadi, tied with Mohlahla Kgaugelo from Manoe Secondary School. We then have Lephalala Thabang as position 3 and Maitsa Kgaugelo at position 2, both from Dendron SS.
The crème of Capricorn North District is found at Maleboho Central Circuit at a school named The Blue Army, the Blue Nation (Manoe SS), with the position 1 being Ngoepe Onkemetse with an average of 96.83%. Indeed, Kgotlelelo e tliša katlego at Manoe Secondary School.
Learners from Kgoaka SS, Manoe SS, and Dendron SS, we love the work you put in to make our District a quality one; we also appreciate the work done by learners from other schools.
Unlocking potential, achieving excellence!
