“We are working hard to lift the standard of the school.
“We are going to attend extra classes on weekends and holidays to make sure we finish our syllabus early,” said Nqobile Sbhayi (19).
The school has a science lab and a library.
Principal Zilungisele Mbanjwa said the school performed well despite challenges of no scholar transport for pupils who have to travel far to get to school and back.
“Pupils who come from far rent rooms close to the school to avoid coming late, and others walk.
“There is a big problem of teenage pregnancy in this school, but we are working hard to encourage pupils not to fall pregnant at a young age.”
