Once ranked among the worst-performing schools in Gauteng, Mamello Comprehensive School in Tsakane has recorded a significant turnaround in its matric results, improving its pass rate from 64.66 in 2024 to 77.6 in 2025.
The improvement has been attributed to intensive academic interventions that include after-school classes, weekend lessons, and a winter camp, according to members of the school community.
This was the first time the school introduced after-school learning, weekend lessons, and a winter camp, said a source who asked not to be named. There was a dedicated and winning team of educators who sacrificed their afternoons and weekends to support learners, alongside parents who ensured their children attended these extra classes.
