Grade 11

Grade 11s who are serious about bringing their best game to their Matric finals next year should, like performance athletes, start their preparation now so that they enter the home straight in pole position when 2020 arrives, an education expert says.

Grade 11 is a strange year. You feel like you're almost there, but just not quite. It's also possibly the most important year in your high school career, above even Matric.

With three months left before they enter their final year of school, Grade 11 learners could be tempted to make relaxing their only priority before the whirlwind year that is Matric.
