Amara Nathoo Priyasha Govender Samishka Govender
THREE of the top matriculants at two of the Inspired Education Group’s KwaZulu-Natal schools — Reddam House Ballito and Reddam House Umhlanga — have shared their journeys to achieving success.
They wrote the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) exams.
Amara Nathoo, 18, who attended Reddam House Umhlanga, achieved eight distinctions and a Bachelor's degree pass.
Her subjects were English, Afrikaans, history, maths, biology, physics, life orientation, and advanced programme maths.
Amara said she was motivated to excel, so she could pursue her studies in medicine.
“This goal pushed me to constantly do my best. To prepare for the finals, I revised past papers throughout the year, instead of leaving all of my work for the year-end. I found the final exam, particularly biology, to be quite difficult, but besides that, everything was much better than I expected.
“My advice to others when preparing for a test or exam is not to leave all of your work to the last minute.
