South African College School (SACS) is the oldest high school in South Africa and 2023 was the school’s largest matric class in the history of the school. 178 candidates wrote matric last year with a 100% pass rate achieved.

Congratulations to David te Roller the school’s Dux scholar, who achieved an overall aggregate of 96.1%. A record nine of the SACS young men achieved an aggregate of 90% which is an incredible achievement.

Te Roller says ‘Matric was a busy and exciting year filled with incredible memories which I will cherish for years to come. I am extremely grateful to my school, SACS High School, for providing me with an incredible support system and nurturing environment which allowed me to excel academically throughout the past 5 years. Learning to be one’s own source of motivation and the development of a strong and diligent work ethic played a crucial role in ensuring my success. I look forward to the next chapter of my life and the exciting prospects it may hold.’

David is going to go to Stellenbosch University this year and has the ultimate goal of getting the accreditation of chartered accountant followed by chartered financial analyst.

Well done to all the SACS matriculants!
