My final year at Sobantu Senior Secondary School in Mpumalanga

My final school year at Sobantu Senior Secondary School in Mpumalanga



A final school year (matric) is the most important year in every learner’s life. It is a year where a learner cannot wait to complete school and excited about life after matric. I completed my matric in 2014 in a town called Ga-Phahla next to Siyabuswa. It is a very small town that has only 3 schools ( a primary, senior phase and senior secondary school). So there is not much to say about that place except that it was named after a certain man who used to own the biggest supermarket back in the days (1980’s).

In matric I had 7 subjects that is Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Life Orientation, English, Afrikaans and my home language Isindebele. My favourite subject was Life Sciences because we learnt about things that we came across in our daily lives. Most of those things are the ones that we experience as humans like reproduction, evolution and many more. Unlike the things that we used to learn about in other subject like in Physical Sciences, were we used to deal with forces that some of us have not seen up to this day.


Most of the time we used laptops to download previous question papers from the internet. That did not favour every learner because most of us (learners) did not have laptops so the teachers used to print those documents and make a copy for each learner. We also used projectors for extra information and for our informal and formal experiments. That made thing easier for us and the teachers. So I can say that technology does play an important role in improving education in our country.
