    St Andrew’s College and the Diocesan School for Girls boasted a 100% pass rate in the 2011 matric exams. At St Andrew's College 92% of the candidates gained matric with entry to degree studies and at the DSG 100%.

    The IEB average is 81.67%. Between the two schools, the 136 candidates attained a remarkable 257 subject distinctions. The school were also the only two Eastern Cape IEB schools to have candidates listed on the board’s Commendable Achievement List – for matrics who are placed in the top five percent of all candidates in at least five subjects.

    Josephine Llewellen Palmer, of DSG and Charles Price-Smith, of St Andrew’s College, made this list. Together with Josephine, four candidates achieved eight distinctions. They were William Cahill, Candice Merrill and Jessica Milne. Charles Price-Smith and Kira Bell attained seven distinctions.

    Six distinctions were achieved by Melissa Fourie, Ingrid Froneman, Karla Hart, Kei-Ella Loewe, Alexandra Niven and Litha Bakumeni. Bethany Kayser, Xan Atkins, Adam Dixon-Warren and Graham McNaughton achieved five distinctions.

    Some of these subject distinctions include Mathematics Paper 3. Pupils at both schools attained top 1% rankings in individual subjects.

    In Mathematics: Candice Merrill, Alexander Niven and Charles Price-Smith; Life Sciences: William Cahill; isi-Xhosa: Nombulelo Gongqa; Mathematical Literacy: Xan Atkins, Meghan Vetch and Jodie Thomas and Life Orientation: Kira Bell.

    “The Matrics of 2011 have achieved across a spectrum of activities and made a valuable contribution to the school in a multitude of areas. They have ended their tenure at the DSG in the same remarkable manner,” said Shelley Frayne, principal of DSG.

    St Andrew’s College principal Paul Edey said matric remained one of the significant milestones in a young South African’s life. "We set so much store by it and it determines a young person’s immediate future in an ever increasingly competitive world," he said.
