The 4th of January marked a special day for LIV School and Village Community as we celebrated the success and achievement of our first matric class since the foundations of the LIV Village and the school.
We are pleased to announce that the six students we had in the class of 2018, have attained a 100% pass rate. Five of the students attained Bachelor Passes and one attained a Diploma Pass.
Every student passed all their subjects. Five had at least one distinction pass, (80 -100%) with four students attaining four subject distinctions each. An outstanding achievement was a 97% score in Tourism from one of our students.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the students for their commitment, hard work and perseverance. We also want to honour our teachers for their determination and dedication to serve God in this way. To our parents we extend gratitude for their support, faith and trust in our school. LIV social services, LIV medical team, LIV Training, LIV Business, LIV Finance, LIV Marketing, LIV Clean, LIV4Change, LIV Maintenance and Logistics, LIV School Board, the Executive Management Team and LIV Board of Directors; thank you for your ongoing guidance and support.
A very special thanks to our founders, Tich and Joan Smith, for the obedience to God’s call upon their lives but most importantly, we would like to thank our donors (individual as well as corporates). You have made it possible for us to educate our children by investing into education and their development. You are our backbone and we are grateful. Siyabonga! These results are a fruit of your heart and passion for the orphan and vulnerable children and you have helped us release our first six stars!
