Congratulations to our Matrics! The Class of 2024 has achieved many wonderful results, both individually and collectively. Once again, our Matric group has achieved a 100% pass rate. We congratulate the group for their consistent performance and the hard work at the end of their matric year that ensured their success. The 2024-year group achieved a significant bachelor’s degree Pass of 97%.
The class of 2024, a group of 34 students, collectively produced 94 subject distinctions or 2.77 distinctions per candidate. 21 of these distinctions were above 90%. 61,76% of the group achieved an aggregate above 70%.
Our top achievers are listed below, but we make special mention of Luke Gebhard (our Dux scholar), Keira Reynolds and Mark Sturgess who all earned an impressive Overall Excellence Pass.
Oakhill is also an official Trinity Music Examination centre, and this year 7 matrics completed their Trinity International Music exams. These results are added as an extra subject to their National Senior Certificate results. We commend these students for their diligence and dedication to their music. All achieved above 70% with three earning A’s.

The class of 2024 is firmly part of the innovation revolution that is changing the world so rapidly. In his book 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Yuval Noah Harari stresses the importance of young adults today being able to make sense of information, to be able to differentiate between the important and unimportant, and to be able to combine many bits of information into a broader picture of the world. We believe that we have worked with these young adults so that they step away from school with this ability, so that each one is equipped to grow, to thrive and to find his/her place in the world.
The IEB has confirmed that all of the candidates who passed the IEB 2024 NSC examination achieved a pass that grants access to tertiary study both nationally and internationally.
Congratulations to each one of our 2024 Matrics on their excellent achievements and we wish you well for your next endeavour!
