National Report on Performance of Individual Schools in 2000 Senior National Report on the Performance of IndividualSchools in the 2000 Senior Certificate Examinations Foreword At the beginning of last year I released the National Report on the Performance of Individual Schools in the 1999 Senior Certificate Examination. This was the first time that such as report had ever been released to the public in South Africa. My purpose in doing so was to provide the public with an overview of the performance of individual schools in the Senior Certificate examination. I also stated then that the focus in 2000 would be on the underperforming schools and “…to pull these schools out of this abysmal situation”. A 5% increase in the pass rate was targeted for 2000. Today I am particularly proud to release the National Report on the Performance of Individual Schools in the 2000 Senior Certificate Examination. We have not only improved the overall pass rate by 9%, but we have broken the cycle of underperformance in many schools. The number of schools that obtained a pass rate between 0% and 20% has decreased from 940 in 1999 to 499 in 2000. Once again I would like to congratulate those students who have succeeded as well as their teachers and principals who worked very hard to provide support and a good quality education to our learners, sometimes in very difficult circumstances. I also want to extend my gratitude to the parents and provincial and national departmental officials for their support and encouragement to ensure the success of the Senior Certificate examination. The challenge for 2001 will be to consolidate our gains and to improve even further. The pass rate is still far too low and further systematic improvement is an absolute necessity especially in such subjects as mathematics and science. In 2000 the 0 – 20% group was targeted for intervention at Grade 12 level. In 2001 the benchmark will be raised and the group targeted for special intervention will be extended to include those schools that achieved a pass rate of 21 – 30%. The nature of this initiative will be more sophisticated in that Grades 10 and 11 will be included with the Grade 12s for active intervention. Policy and strategies such as whole-school development, systemic evaluation and human resource development will also provide more support. This report lists all the schools in the country, province by province, and according to the region, district or circuit in which they were located. For each region, district or circuit the schools are listed in rank order based on their pass rate. The rank order is listed in frequency intervals of 20%, i.e. 0 – 19,99%; 20 – 39,99%; 40 – 59,99%; 60 – 79,99% and 80 – 100%. Schools that have attained 0% and 100% pass rates are also listed by province. For purposes of comparison readers will find that for each school the pass rates in 1999 and 2000 have been indicated as well as the specific school’s pass percentage. To identify a school, the reader needs first to ascertain the province and then the region, district or circuit in which the school is located. The order of the provinces is as follows: § Eastern Cape § Free State § Gauteng § KwaZulu-Natal § Mpumalanga § Northern Cape § Northern Province § North West § Western Cape The region, district or circuit in each province as well as the schools within a particular frequency interval are listed in alphabetical order. Active involvement by most provincial authorities has had dramatic effects in the performance of many schools. Therefore, the real cause for national celebration is the way many schools have moved from below 40% to 60% and above. This therefore justifies the inauguration of the Most Improved Schools’ Award which will be announced in February. Whether we like it or not, school results in the National Senior certificate are seen by parents and politicians (and by newspaper editors) as the most important indicator of school performance. But we must remember that there is more to schooling examination results. In our transition from apartheid, the values schools impart to pupils, the recognition of diversity, the development and encouragement of non-racism and non- sexism in the context of a search for national identity are just as important. All schools – public and independent – should be actively involved in this grand venture. Professor Kader Asmal, MP Minister of Education Contents 1.

Sunday, April 3 @ 7 PM Zellerbach Theatre Part of the African Roots, American Voices series. 15/16 Season 45 ABOUT THE ARTISTS Johnny Clegg is one of South Africa’s most celebrated sons. He is a singer, songwriter, dancer, anthropologist and musical activist whose infectious crossover music, a vibrant blend of Western pop and African Zulu rhythms, has exploded onto the international scene and broken through all the barriers in his own country. In France, where he enjoys a massive following, he is fondly called Le Zulu Blanc – the white Zulu. Over three decades, Clegg has sold over five million albums of his brand of crossover music worldwide. He has wowed vast audiences with his audacious live shows and won a number of national and international awards for his music and his outspoken views on apartheid, perspectives on migrant workers in South Africa and the general situation in the world today. Clegg’s history is as bold, colorful and dashing as the rainbow country which he has called home for more than 40 years. Clegg was born in Bacup, near Rochdale, England, in 1953, but was brought up in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Between his mother (a cabaret and jazz singer) and his step-father (a crime reporter who took him into the townships at an early age), Clegg was exposed to a broader cultural perspective than that available to his peers.

At «ja;,.?>s t Kearsney College Chronicle JULY, 1965 Kearsney College Chronicle Vol. 6 No. 1 Juij^ 1965 EDITORIAL We are a very young school, even by South African standards. By comparison with the schools of England, we are only just hatched. But, quite humbly, we wonder whether any other Public or Private boarding school has grown and matured quite as quickly as we have. In a mere 44 years we have grown from 11, housed in a private mansion, to 460, with (as all will agree) buildings and grounds hardly surpassed in the country. In the 25 years at Botha's Hill we have increased by 350, and the original bleak and bare setting can now scarcely be visualised. There is no boasting in this. We are quite convinced that this school was needed, and that throughout its development the hand of Providence has been at work. The early private venture was not allowed to disintegrate, although at one stage faith and sacrifice was needed to save the school from dying. But it was willed that we should survive, and that our faith should be justified. So we see our young life now divided into three parts. There was the period of foundation, under the right Headmaster; a humble unambitious period m which stress was unostentatiously laid on those things which matter: tome, character, humility, tremendous loyalty from those who loved their school. When these foundations were well and truly laid, there followed the second stage, again under the right Headmaster: one of bricks and mortar, a physical develop ment, one which saw us grow and grow, in numbers and influence, until we could regard ourselves as a school which was making a real impact upon the wider community.

It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present. The only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.” [Henry Ford to reporter Charles N Wheeler, Chicago Tribune 1916] Some years ago, Raymond Ackerman delivered a speech where he remarked that the job of schools was the same as that of families to give our sons ‘roots and wings.’ The history and traditions of those who have gone before us should be a source of inspiration, encouragement and motivation to those who currently carry the torch.

  • Reflections from the Rector's Desk
    Reflections from the Rector’s Desk Dear Parents, Old Greys and Friends of The Grey We are experiencing an ‘action-packed’ start to 2015! Best wishes to all members of The Grey Family for a successful, happy and healthy year. May all we do continue to be in the best interests of The Grey and those we serve. This is also our School Governing Body election year – and we will need to find some additional, suitable candidates amongst our Parent Body to fill a number of vacancies. Many thanks to those who have already expressed an interest and who have made themselves available. MR DIETER PAKENDORF – RECTOR : 1977 – 1992 Our esteemed former Rector passed away on Thursday 12 February. His funeral was held on Wednesday 18 February in the Lutheran Church, Cape Town City centre. Dieter’s incredible support and love for his school continued long after his retirement – and this with his good wife, Maureen, as ever, at his side. And so it is hugely fitting that his ashes be interred in the wall of the Memorial Quad alongside former Rectors of The Grey – this to be done in May, before our Friday Reunion Assembly, and in the presence of the School, members of the Family and all assembled Old Greys and Friends. The numerous tributes which have poured in from Old Greys all over the world bear ample testimony to the fact that he made a massive impact on a generation of Grey boys and that his masterful hand guided many to success. MATRIC RESULTS 2014 We were generally very happy with the academic performance of last year’s Matrics.
