Both schools improved on their performance in the 2011 matric exams.  Percy Mdala high school’s pass rate has improved from 45.1% to 66% and Murray high school from 54.2% to 78.4%. Growing up in high poverty stricken neighborhoods and facing difficult socio economic challenges, this year’s grade 12 learners are very enthusiastic and positive about passing their 2012 matric exams.
