The principal, Mukosi Mudavhi, has set a target of a 90% Bachelor pass for the school this year. This non-fee-paying school, considered one of the best in the province, is once again aiming for a 100% overall pass mark.

A Bachelor pass is the highest achievement a learner can earn in the matric exams, and Forte Secondary School believes this target is achievable to give their learners something to be proud of.

"We have made all the preparations to be able to achieve this target. Firstly, we reopened much earlier than expected. We also did our monthly tasks and targets throughout the year. There is no other plan.

"We are confident that we will maintain our previous results. We got 100% last year. Even this year, we anticipate that this Class of 2025 will still make us proud; they will make their parents proud, and they will also make the department proud," Mudavhi said.
