The 2022 St Andrew’s College Matrics who wrote the IEB examination achieved a 100% pass rate, with all but one of the 77 boys earning a Bachelor’s Degree (BD) pass (99%).
And two local St Andrew’s College boys achieved six distinctions:
Benjamin Terry, from Makhanda, was the Dux Scholar with an 84% aggregate and distinctions in English HL, History, Life Orientation, Mathematics, Music and Physical Science.
Aidan Reynolds, also from Makhanda, achieved an aggregate of 83%, with distinctions in English HL, History, Life Orientation, Mathematics, Music and Physical Science.
Newly-appointed St Andrew’s College headmaster, Tom Hamilton, said the school was exceptionally proud of the St Andrew’s College matric class of 2022. “They produced superb results in both the IEB and the Cambridge International A Level examinations.
“These qualifications provide an excellent platform for study in South Africa and anywhere else in the world. As a non-selective school, we believe we provide a subject range that allows every boy to flourish. These results reflect the remarkable efforts and commitment of our boys, who have also made an extraordinary contribution to our broad and diverse range of holistic school activities.
“Our thanks to the staff at both College and DSG for all their efforts to help our boys achieve these results, and well done to our class of 2022,” Hamilton said.
Seven College boys achieved five distinctions:
Myles Boden (Gqeberha) in English HL, History, Life Sciences, Mathematics and Physical Science.

Scott Moorcroft (Adelaide) in Accounting, Geography, Life Orientation, Life Sciences and Mathematics.
Scott Ritchie (Makhanda) in Business Studies, Dramatic Arts, English HL, History and Mathematical Literacy.
