Celebrating the #Griffins of 2022

A massive congratulations to our Matric Class of 2022 on their incredible NSC results. We celebrate another year of success with our boys achieving a pass rate of 92.3%, with a total of 159 bachelor passes, setting the stage for a bright and purposeful future for our boys.

Mr Leslie Chain, the director of academics at WBHS, says the class of 2022 has shown great perseverance and dedication, achieving 1.5 ‘A’ symbols per learner. Although their foundational years for the FET phase were disrupted by COVID, lockdowns (Grade 10 & Grade 11), as well as the KZN riots and floods, the class of 2022 have taken the Griffin value of ‘Resilience’ to heart and have shown their commitment to academic excellence. “Sixty percent of all symbols achieved were a ‘C’ symbol or higher,” Chain says.
