The Cambridge International A-Levels and AS-Levels are part of the dual curriculum offered by Reddam House Durbanville. The other curriculum offered is South Africa\u2019s Independent Examinations Board (IEB).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top AS-Level achievers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AS (Advanced Subsidiary) students achieved an exceptional 80 subject distinctions across subjects including Afrikaans Language, Accounting, Art &amp; Design, Biology, Business, Chemistry, Computer Science, Drama, English Language, French, Geography, History, English Language &amp; Literature, Maths, Spanish and Physics.<\/p>\n<p>Nine students achieved above 90% in a subject, with the top performer, Luka Joubert, achieving 90% for four out of five subjects, namely Chemistry, Computer Science, Maths and Physics and an aggregate of 90,6%. Luka has been provisionally accepted to study actuarial science at the University of Stellenbosch this year.<\/p>\n<p>The second highest AS-Level achiever, Sarah Webber, received a notation from Cambridge International on her AS Level French result, quoted as \u201cWith Distinction in Speaking\u201d, confirming her excellence in the subject. She is planning to do A-Levels this year, which will allow her to begin an environmental degree with a social focus at a university in France, if she is accepted. She has already received conditional offers from the University of Stellenbosch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The top 10 Class of 22 AS Level achievers are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Luka Joubert \u2013 90,6%<br \/>\u2022 Sarah Webber \u2013 90,5%<br \/>\u2022 Nathan Dinbabo \u2013 87%<br \/>\u2022 Le Roux Lategan \u2013 87%<br \/>\u2022 Christopher van Zyl \u2013 86,4%<br \/>\u2022 David Madighi-Oghu \u2013 83,3%<br \/>\u2022 Rebekah Lumsden \u2013 81%<br \/>\u2022 Nirvana Reddy \u2013 80,6%<br \/>\u2022 Zoryn Rothuysen \u2013 79,8%<br \/>\u2022 Erin Pavitt \u2013 79,2%<\/p>\n<p><strong>An overview of the results shows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 99% pass rate<br \/>\u2022 80 subject A\u2019s<br \/>\u2022 11 A averages<br \/>\u2022 9 students achieved above 90% in a subject<br \/>\u2022 76% overall group aggregate<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grade 13 A-Level Achiever overcomes adversity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Class of 22 had one A-Level student, whose remarkable story of courage and tenacity saw him achieving over 90% for two of his three subjects, against considerable odds. Daniel Bovim, a keen mountain biker who had achieved good results throughout his high school years, entered a mountain biking event just before the start of his AS Level exams at the end of 2021, and an unfortunate accident resulted in memory loss, concussion and a broken collar bone. The specialists treating him recommended that he did not write exams at the end of that year. In a decision that made him the first student in the history of Reddam House Durbanville to combine AS and A levels for three subjects, Daniel then elected to complete both strenuous years in one, writing five exams each for Physics and Chemistry and four exams for Mathematics in November 2022. His achievement of 92% for Physics, 91% for Chemistry and 83% for Mathematics is a true reflection of his exceptional strength of character and determination.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on his future plans, Daniel says, \u201cI\u2019m very excited to have heard back from the University of Stellenbosch, who have given me a conditional acceptance to study chemical engineering and the residence of my choice, as well as a conditional offer for a bursary. I was very happy to receive all this great news and I\u2019m looking forward to the next four years of studying there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barry Nieuwoudt, Executive Head of Reddam House Durbanville, says, \u201cIt is always with great anticipation that the results are downloaded from the Cambridge International site, and this year we are proud once again to receive the confirmation of our students\u2019 excellence. Their results are testament to the stories we have witnessed over the last year of the hard work and effort that led to excellent improvement in individual student subject results. We wish them the very best as they begin their lives outside of school.\u201d Nieuwoudt adds that Reddam House Durbanville students regularly achieve Cambridge Student Achievement Awards, including Top in the World for AS Mathematics and English Language and Literature and numerous Top in South Africa positions in the school\u2019s broad range of Cambridge subjects.<\/p>\n<p>Ravi Nadasen, CEO of Inspired Education Group Africa says, \u201cCongratulations to the Class of 22 and to the parents and teachers who have supported, mentored, guided and nurtured the students in their journey to achieving excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit the Inspired Schools website and click on Africa &amp; Middle East link.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">39<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/reddam-house-durbanvilles-class-of-2022-achieves-83-distinctions-by-34-students\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
