Sgodiphola Secondary School on Saturday 13 April 2024 committed further to a 100% pass mark in 2024, having achieved 81% for the past three years.
These were the words of Acting Principal and Sepedi Teacher Jack Molepo, as the school continued on their commitment to hand over top achieving learners per subject code in the presence of parents, teachers and the School Governing Body. “This forms part of the pledge we signed in the first term to achieving a 100% pass mark for this year 2024, we use this as motivation for ALL the learners in Matric Class of 2024 to strive to do better and be seen by their peers, teachers, parents, guardians and our School Governing Body,” he added.
S’godiphola Secondary School was established in 2008. It is the second high school in Cosmo City. Cosmo City being the first public private partnership worth R3.5billion in South Africa.
Cosmo City emerged out of an urgent need to provide accommodation for the informal settlers of Zevenfontein and Riverbend who had been illegally occupying privately owned land 25km North West of Johannesburg CBD.
The school was given the name S’godiphola Secondary School by the informal settlers who moved to Cosmo City.
“God will guide us, we should move forward together; we should sit down as staff and identify the problems and where we need to improve – we can work hard and improve our pass rate as a school,” says the Acting Principal.
