Results from the Class of 2024
The management and staff at St Benedict’s College are pleased to share the Matric results for 2024. The class of 2024 have immersed themselves in the academic programme offered at our college and have performed well in the IEB National Senior Certificate examinations.
Whilst it has become customary to highlight our top achievers, we must also acknowledge the contributions of every individual who has contributed to the success of these results. Many of our boys have attained results exceeding expectations and they can be proud of their achievements. Our theme for 2024 was “Live with Purpose” and it has been pleasing to see how our boys have applied this notion to their academics.
St Benedict’s College continues to produce amazing matric results year after year. These final results could not have been achieved without the co-operation of the boys; the support from their parents, and the ongoing guidance from our nurturing teachers.
– Mr Dave Jeffrey, College Head
