Hi Everyone
We have reached the end of another happy and successful year with our SACS 1969 Trust scholar, Hlumelo. I have been so proud of him this year with his enthusiasm, his good behaviour, his sportsmanship and his academic effort.
I know you have all received his report which shows an improvement of 17% in his Maths – significant I think as exam terms are always harder. Gill Gull gave Hlumelo a few lessons before exams and it is evident that they helped him a great deal – Gill reported that it was a pleasure teaching such a polite and receptive young man. If possible I would like Hlumelo to continue with extra lessons in Grade 10 as Maths just gets tougher and I don’t want him to get despondent if he isn’t staying ahead.
As you will note, he battled with Natural Science (Biology and Physics) once again, the major problem being Physics which he has now been able to drop as he goes into Grade 10. His subjects next year besides English, isiXhosa, Maths and Life Orientation are Biology, History and Accounting.
Hopefully, he has chosen well and will do well in all these subjects. His marks in History (78%) show good commitment to his studies and I am so pleased that he is pursuing it as it is a subject he so obviously enjoys.
It has once again been a pleasure working with him and I am looking forward to his Grade 10 year. Thank you all again for making it possible for Hlumelo to benefit from the quality education he receives at SACS – he loves being a SACS man!
Wishing you all blessings over the holiday season and a happy and healthy New Year.
With warm regards, Tessa
