I didn't find any references to this being as worst performing school 10 years ago though.

What I found that SAME foundation sponsored for STEM in 2015/16, and during just one year, their physical science average went up from 31 to 82%

Most recent result is 95.2% pass rate in 2025 with 56.6% bachelor passes - which is incredible.

We see you ActionSA.

@MalcomZ we all know where the problem with crime in the country starts and ends. You are still battling to grasp the truth. Let me help you again.
