Former Affiebond Newsletter January contemporary 21, 2013 Tobie le Cornu (Chair) and David Pretorius (Vice-Chairman) writes: contemporary Our best wishes for 2013! 2012 was once again led by Dr. Edwards, the staff, the head boy with his captains, and all the leaders have a successful year for the school. Affies name is kept high in all areas. The exceptional performances make one again proud to be a former pupil of the school to be.
It is a pleasure to announce that Affies contemporary crowded. 244 Grade 8 pupils were allowed this year, and the total enrollment unfortunately currently stands at 1214. It was not possible to list all the boys what to hostel contemporary entrance applied to accommodate.
The rookies come from 85 different primary schools. 37% of boys walking on the trail of a grandfather, father or brother, 8% Affies chosen on the recommendation of friends, but 55% is new blood that want to start their own Affie tradition. 96% of the grade 8's house is closer to a different school than Affies.
We can with gratitude testified that if the number of distinctions in relation to the number of candidates is calculated and the percentage of candidates who are admitted to graduate studies, are taken into account, it is clear that excellent education offered at Affies.
Like last year, the Education Department again to compile their rankings a school's distinctions counted contemporary without taking it to the number of candidates in connection. According to Mr. Charles Phahlane Gauteng education spokesperson, include looking at how many students passed; how many have got admission to graduate studies; and how many distinctions have obtained a school. (Image, January 13, 2012) This quantitative approach has resulted in smaller schools contemporary with matric groups, such as Affies, overlooked when rankings are determined.
If the average number of distinctions per candidate and the percentage of candidates admitted to be taken as a measure to degree study, the best performance probably delivered by AHMP. The 213 girls 688 A's scored - 3:23 per candidate. 96.7% of candidates pass with exemption. Afrikaans Boys High School should, according contemporary to this approach lies second contemporary or third in the rankings. AHS's 217 boys 484 A's scored - 2.2 per candidate. 92% of boys have passed contemporary with university exemption. The school was placed first by the department's 305 candidates 726 A's scored contemporary - 2:38 A's per candidate, and 87% with university entrance pass. For interest may be mentioned that one of the schools have produced on the department's contemporary top 5 list 1.94 distinctions per candidate, and only 76.1% obtained university admission. Based on this information we can, without fear of contradiction says Affies deserves a place among the top five academic schools.
However, make another remarkable AHS's performance, the fact is, this performance only with a team of boys, who traditionally perform contemporary for various reasons stronger than girls in the final examination, is achieved.
Affie the boys, all the candidates and calculated all subjects, an average of 71.2% achieved. 50 men have an average of 80% +, and as indicated above, 92.6% qualify for degree study. (Beeld 3 January, only 26.6% of the country's matriculants with exemption passed.)
