Two A-Level Students Excel:

Added to these excellent results, two A-Level students wrote the A-Level examinations earlier, as they accelerated their A-Level course in order to start their university studies in the United Kingdom and Europe at the start of the academic year in September. The two students are:

  • Minkyum Kim – 95% for A-Level Further Mathematics and an equal 95% for A-Level Physics. Minkyum accelerated the Mathematics course by writing IGCSE Mathematics, followed by A-Level Mathematics at the end of 2023. This he did to ensure a third A-Level subject. Having achieved 98% for A-Level Mathematics and the results for the June exams, we wait with baited breath for the confirmation from Cambridge University where Minkyum has a conditional offer to study Computer Science. We will definitely be following with more news as the days pass.
  • Talitha Vermeulen – also accelerated her A-Levels to study at Utrecht University in The Netherlands. Talitha achieved outstanding A-Level results in the June 2024 exams, notably – 90% for Chemistry, 86% for Mathematics and 83% for Biology. Talitha has a conditional offer to study Bio Chemistry.

The Kim family are celebrating the exceptional results of both their achievers – Minkyum achieving 95% aggregate average in his accelerated A-Levels and Youkyum achieving 96.1% aggregate average for the IGCSE examinations, where he is ranked as the school’s top performing IGCSE student..

Barry Nieuwoudt, Executive Head of Reddam House Durbanville, remarked, "Once again, I am at a loss for words as our results are released. The anticipation that fills us all in the days before the release is eased as we look through and analyse our exceptional achievements. It is truly humbling as the head of this remarkable school, to congratulate our students year after year on how fantastically they do. A huge thank you for their dedication, resilience, and commitment and the unwavering support and excellence in education of our faculty and their parents. We are truly proud of each and every student."
