CONGRATULATIONS to our Grade 12s of 2011 on their outstanding results.  In Gauteng, Catholic Schools achieved a 93,6% pass rate which was significantly above the 81,1% provincial pass rate.  We are indeed very proud of this achievement especially as it is the culmination of many years work, from grade R, on the part of principals, educators and particularly learners.
