I am exceptionally proud to announce the outstanding academic achievements of the Class of 2024. Our students have once again demonstrated excellence, achieving a remarkable 100% pass rate and an impressive 90% Bachelor’s degree pass rate. These results highlight the dedication and hard work of our students, as well as the unwavering support from our exceptional teaching staff.

We pride ourselves on offering a unique educational environment that nurtures each child’s potential. Our small class sizes ensure that our tagline, “Where Every Child is Known,” holds true, as we focus on personalized education and holistic development. This approach not only leads to academic excellence but also fosters balanced, empathetic individuals ready to make a positive impact on their communities.

We are particularly pleased to congratulate our top achievers for 2024:

• Allanah White: 6 Distinctions (English, Afrikaans, EGD, Drama, Mathematics, and Life Orientation)
• Gaby Mthethwa: 4 Distinctions (English, Business Studies, isiZulu, Life Orientation)

Additionally, several other students achieved personal bests in their final examinations, further demonstrating the strength of our academic programmes.

While these results are a cause for celebration, it’s essential to recognize that education at St Martin’s is about much more than grades. Our mission extends beyond academics; we strive to cultivate students' character and equip them with the values of good citizenship. This commitment is beautifully illustrated by a quote on our school wall:

“St Martin’s School provides a nurturing environment, encouraging the principles and virtues of good citizenship. So it is, by successful scholarship, through effective leadership, with love, labour, responsibility, and mutual respect, that our students continually help to create better and more gentle communities where they live and work.”

The remarkable success of our students is a testament not only to their inherent talent and determination but also to the hard work of our dedicated educators. This achievement is a collective one, stemming from the passion and commitment of our entire teaching staff—from our nurturing educators in Grade 000 through to our matric teachers.

I express immense pride in the students' achievements, stating, the Class of 2024 has truly exemplified the spirit of St Martin’s School. Their hard work, resilience, and commitment to excellence have set a high standard for future classes. We are incredibly proud of each student and look forward to seeing them thrive in their future endeavours.

If there was any doubt about the calibre of education at St Martin’s School, our Class of 2024 results should quell it. Congratulations once again to the Matric Class of 2024 for their outstanding achievements! We eagerly await to see what our "New Pioneers" will accomplish next as they embark on their bright futures.
