Balance of Academic Rigour and Human Values

This means balancing strong academic performance with meaningful involvement in First-team sport, Cultural pursuit (Music, Drama and Art etc.), Leadership responsibilities and Community engagements. This has led Kingsmead College to deliver exceptional performance with 100% Bachelors Degree pass with 294 Distinctions.

Indeed “the girls just had fun” with Zoey Anderson scooping 10 Distinctions, Emma Simmonds 9 Distinctions, Sarah Florence 8 Distinctions, Ilhaam Adam 7 Distinctions, Morgan Bands 7 Distinctions, Zia Dasoo 7 Distinctions, Kara Smith 7 Distinctions, Morgan Kohler 7 Distinctions, Amelia Laburn 7 Distinctions, Bibi-Fathima Peer 7 Distinctions, Haaniya Sarang 7 Distinctions, Ella Stuart 7 Distinctions, Morgan Bunkell 6 Distinctions, Lucy Davis 6 Distinctions, Emma De Kock 6 Distinctions, Amy Falcon 6 Distinctions, Holy Franks 6 Distinctions, Erin Grubb 6 Distinctions, Kirsten Lamb 6 Distinctions, Nosipho Magondo 6 Distinctions, Megan Meadows-Taylor 6 Distictions, Xiluva Ngahu 6 Distinctions, Kate Porter 6 Distinctions, Lamiyah Wing Yip 6 Distinctions, Gemma Bouche 5 Distinctions, Chrismarie Chalmers 5 Distinctions, Karabo Matsoso 5 Distinctions, Thiya Naidoo 5 Distinctions, Oprah Orimoloye 5 Distinctions.

According to the Executive Head Lisa Palmer “The Leadership is cultivated through collaborating Service and Shared responsibility by forging a partnership between Students, Educators, Families and Alumnae has been central to their success.”

What’s more fascinating about this accomplishment is 4 Distinctions in IsiZulu by Emma Simmonds, Haaniya Sarang, Morgan Bunkell, Gemma Bouche ahead of their counterparts, which raises a big question around the significance of indigenous languages in South Africa. That’s a topic for another day, for now, lets enjoy the accolades.
