Small Scholars, Big Achievements: Saints Christian School Celebrates Its Foundation Phase Top Achievers

The school congratulated its youngest learners under the banner "Small Scholars, BIG Achievements!", sharing a "Top 5" honours board for each Foundation Phase class. "Big dreams start with little steps," the school wrote, adding that the learners' hard work and dedication are shining through.

The class toppers

Each class board names five learners and their averages. The highest score shared was 95.8% for Boitumelo in Grade 2T, with Bitaniya close behind on 95.5% in Grade 1C.

• Grade 1C: Bitaniya – 95.5%
• Grade 1G: Rex – 93.5%
• Grade 2C: Lehakoe – 91.2%
• Grade 2T: Boitumelo – 95.8%
• Grade 3L: Kgomotso – 88.2%

Strong results across the board

The scores behind the toppers were close. In Grade 2T, Ketsia was second on 95.0% and Malaika third on 91.5%, while in Grade 1C Oratilwe was second on 93.8%. In Grade 1G, two learners, Siphesihle and Sabata, shared fifth place on 91.0%, which is why that class board carries six names.

In Grade 2C the gap between first and fifth place was just over one percentage point, with Lehakoe on 91.2% and Owethu and Gloria both on 91.0%.

What this means for you

Parents of Foundation Phase learners can use these results as a reminder of how far steady reading, homework routines and encouragement at home can go in the early grades. The school has invited the community to celebrate its young stars in the comments on its Facebook post.
