BEST WISHES TO THE CLASS OF 2022
To our special Matric Class of 2022.
Today marks 12 years since you first walked onto the school grounds as little toddlers where some of you were screaming and kicking when your parents left you on the school ground. Some of you were happy and excited of a new found environment with new friends and new care givers. That will be all in the past in few weeks, because as you start your examinations, you are only few weeks from exiting the same grounds you were scared and happy for in your grade one. All that you have gathered, studied and collected in the last eleven years has come down to this, your final chapter of your schooling years.
Your matric exams do not only marks the end of your secondary life but also marks the beginning of your new tertiary life and your exams are a password needed to enter your tertiary studies. Together with your families, we hold our heads high up, congratulating you for having made it up to so far. We go down on our knees to pray for you as you start your examinations. Your hopes, your dreams and your aspirations will be realised by the way you perform in your examinations. You are a step closer from what you aspired to be in your earlier grades. It is at this time where we can say you are the master of your own destination. All you hard work will be summed up by what you achieve in these examinations.
You have withstand all the challenges in all these years, when others dropped out. You did not. In our books you are already the achievers and you are only waiting for your accolades at the end of your examinations. You only need to push hard for the last time, you are closer to the finish line, do not get tired now, do not relax. This is your time to step forward, remember that if you do not step forward you will forever be on the same spot. This is the time when you really must believe in yourself and all that you are and that there is no obstacle that is greater than you. Remember that, nothing is impossible, you are about to work on what you really want to be in life.
I wish you all the best, I wish you translate all the skills and the knowledge you have acquired over the years into a marvellous performance when you write your exams. I wish you all the best in your examinations. Your families, your community and the whole of Lekwa Municipality is behind you. You are our pride. In you, you hold our hopes, our future and our growth as the municipality. As a municipality we still stand by the pledges we made earlier this year, that we will ensure that the municipality and all the stakeholders in this municipality will ensure that those who excel in their exams and would want to pursue their studies further are supported and assisted to realise their dreams. We remain committed to the pledge that we will reward those schools that obtain 100% across the entire municipality. Our prayers are with you as you start writing
GOOD LUCK AND MAKE US PROUD
