Matric Results IEB
This school writes matric exams through the Independent Examinations Board (IEB), not the Department of Basic Education's NSC.
SchoolSeek displays NSC results from the DBE's publicly published School Performance Report. The IEB does not make per-school results available to third parties — for this school's matric results, contact the school directly or visit their website.
IEB and NSC are different examination systems with different assessment structures. Pass rates across these systems are not directly comparable.
