The final phase of mentoring is complete. With session 8 complete we look forward to our last, celebratory session – the culmination event (in mid October).
The success of this year’s programme has been outstanding!
After the release of the mid-year results it’s exciting to note that 29 of our mentees are already eligible to apply at Rhodes University. We look forward to this number potentially increasing – watch this space!
The number of strong passes (diploma or bachelor passes) has increased at each school. Nombulelo rose from 35 strong passes in June 2017 to 48 in June 2018 in a cohort of 56 learners. Ntsika has a cohort of 84 learners. Their strong passes for this cohort was 37 in June 2017 and has now bumped up to 54. Mary Waters has moved from 17 strong passes at the end of Grade 11 to 25 strong passes after June exams in their small cohort of 14 pupils.
These results are credit to the effort that mentors have been showing and the compliance and attendance of mentees. Thanks you to both sides the Nine Tenths mentoring programme. Your work and collaboration are showing.
Matrics (…and volunteers), good luck for your upcoming tests and exams!
