My final school year at Mgudlwa FET, Mpumalanga

Mgudlwa FET is situated in Verena a township near Witbank. The place is situated in Mkobola Mpumalanga. The school is aged over 40 years. My parents, aunt and uncle studied there. It is a township with low economic growth, no mall but at least has enough schools, a clinic, a post office, a police station and a petrol station. The place is not fully developed but teachers try by all means to help learners in their education by having extra learning programs. Teachers come early in the morning to have 1hour morning classes sometimes afternoon classes even weekend classes. My matric subjects were; IsiNdebele, English, Mathematics, Life Orientation, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and CAT (Computer Applications Technology).

Teachers rewarding learners for their great work at school

I matriculated on 2013 at Mgudlwa FET. The class of 2013 was the best we even obtained 95% pass rate it was the first time the school has had such a high pass rate.  Our principal tried by all means to help us reach our dreams of completing matric with flying colours because he knew that will open doors for us in terms of careers we want to pursue. The school tried by all means to help us pass they even took us to a camp in September in a nearby home where disable people live since they were not around visiting their parents houses for the holidays.

We had a technological subject named CAT (Computer Applications Technology). We were exposed to working with a computer from grade 10-12. We studied Microsoft word, excel, power point and Microsoft access. We wrote online tests made projects whereby we researched about components of the computer. We would compare different kinds of computers to see which one is better based on their hardware components and software.
