    Matric exams officially end today and according to learners and principals they went without a glitch.

    Samuel Wessels, principal at Mary Waters High School said that there were no major hiccups in the exam administration and all the invigilators gave a good report. He said he is happy with how the exams went and they are now just waiting for the results.

    Matric exams officially end today and according to learners and principals they went without a glitch.

    Samuel Wessels, principal at Mary Waters High School said that there were no major hiccups in the exam administration and all the invigilators gave a good report. He said he is happy with how the exams went and they are now just waiting for the results.

    However, Nomaxabiso Ntlokwana, a matric learner at the school, said she found the exams very stressful especially Accounting because they did not have an Accounting teacher for most of the year. She said they would have been even more stressful if they did not have the help of Rhodes University students.

    Melanie Lancaster, principal at Gadra Matric School thanked the District Department of Education for being very helpful and organised this year. She hopes that her students, some of whom were writing their matric exams for the second time, will do very well.

    Nosipho Qwazi, a Grade 12 learner from Nombulelo High School said that she found the first Maths Paper to be difficult but everything else went smoothly. She especially enjoyed the languages exams and hopes to study IT next year.

    “Some of the questions in the exams were too vague,” said Hannah Kirkaldy, a matric learner from Victoria Girls’ High School “but generally the exams were not too bad.” She also said that the fact that the results come out only next year is a little annoying. “It is frustrating because to plan for next year we obviously need our results,” she said. Ntlokwana also said that it would be less stressful to have the results this year rather than next year. “This slows down our applications to tertiary institutions,” she said. 

    The 2009 matric results will be released on 7 January 2010 to allow time to verify and check all the results before they are released.
