Rondebosch Boys’ High School again delivers excellent results

FOR the 14th consecutive year, the young men of Rondebosch Boys’ High School achieved a 100% pass rate.

Rondebosch Boys’ High School is one of 22 schools in the Western Cape to do so consistently over the past five years. Given the context of pandemic learning, it is especially commendable that this cohort achieved a 98.8% university entrance rate, which is equal to the school’s previous best Bachelor achievement of 2019.

The 163 candidates achieved 415 A symbols, with an average distinction rate of 2.6 per pupil.

Eighteen students achieved a full house of A symbols. Of this group, four students achieved nine

As and four students achieved eight A symbols.

Special mention must go to Ziyaad Banderker, who came first in the country in Mathematics and achieved a distinction in all of his nine subjects, eight of which were above 90%; and also to Alexander

White, who came top of the grade with an average of 96.5% and achieved nine distinctions.

“While these excellent results are the culmination of years of focus and hard work on the part of both the boys and their teachers and the standard of tuition they received, they are also indicative of the determination and goal orientation of a group that were often expected to work in isolation,” says Shaun Simpson, Headmaster of Rondebosch Boys’ High School.

“We must therefore also recognise the supportive parent community who have had to encourage, support and mentor their boys at times when there appeared to be no light at the end of the tunnel.

“We are very proud of the class of 2021 and all who have supported them in their quest for excellence.”
