Eunice is proud of its long-standing tradition of outstanding results in the Grade 12 National Senior Certificate examinations. The consistency and quality of these results reaffirms the triangular partnership of commitment between learners, staff and parents.
Eunice is in a class of its own in terms of quality teaching and learning. Twelve successive Eunice Matric classes have earned the Top School Award. For the 35th consecutive year, Eunice has achieved 100% Matric pass rate with 2020 seeing 97% of the 159 matriculants achieving a Bachelor’s pass with 349 subject distinctions.
Eunice is committed to providing the best educational environment and our priority is to ensure that all pupils develop skills that will position them to thrive in the post-school learning, and working environment.
Eunice High School encourages learners to value learning and to understand that learning is a lifelong process.
This Wellness policy statement (Occupational dimension) is manifested throughout the school using the following Academic strategies and practices:
The Senior GET phase is the third and last phase of the General Education and Training Band of the National Qualifications Authority structure and represents the first two years of high school.
