The 2023 matric exams begin tomorrow, which will be the culmination of the hard work our matrics and their teachers have put in to prepare for the exams.

To our matric #ClassOf2023,

We wish you the very best for the matric exams!

You have really put in the extra hours this year, and we are so proud of the effort you have made to invest in your own future.

We know that this will be a very stressful time for you, but remember that this is the last stretch, so keep your head down, work hard, and above all, do your very best.

We are here for you, we will support you, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you when the results are released next year.

To our matric teachers,

Thank you for the outstanding work you have done this year, and for the support, care, and love that you show to our children every day. You have quite literally shaped their future, and done so with the dedication and teaching excellence for which our province is renowned.

We wish you the very best for the weeks ahead, and look forward to celebrating some great results next year with you too!

Ons is hier vir julle. Ons sal julle ondersteun en ons kan nie wag om jul uitslae saam met julle te vier wanneer dit vroeg volgende jaar vrygestel word nie.

Aan ons matriekonderwysers,

Dankie vir julle uitmuntende werk hierdie jaar, en vir die ondersteuning, sorg en liefde wat julle elke dag vir ons kinders gee. Julle het ons kinders se toekoms help vorm en dit met die toewyding en uitnemende onderrig gedoen waarvoor ons provinsie bekend is.
