Our learners excel in many fields!
Our Matric results of 2021 indicate the depth of our learners’ development – all 220 candidates who wrote the examination were successful. This means we achieved a 100% pass rate for the 26th consecutive year!
There were 549 subject distinctions i.e. an average of 2,48 distinctions per learner. 213 candidates achieved Bachelor Passes i.e. a Bachelor Pass rate of 97%. Our 2021 Dux, Maryam Mather, achieved an aggregate of 95%. She is KwaZulu-Natal’s top Accounting learner – 100%.

Academic Development Programme - ADP
The Academic Development Programme (ADP) of DGHS is a facility that provides a venue and an environment in which learners can do homework and study after school. Supervisors are present to check homework, motivate learners and encourage their extra-curricular involvement. To ensure that our learners work to the best of their ability and use their time wisely, they are encouraged to complete their written homework, do online research, study for tests and read their library books during this time in a controlled setting. The Victor Daitz Wing is the venue for ADP and registration forms are available from adp@dghs.co.za.
