my final school year at Marhagi secondary school,
Mpumalanga.
The
school is situated in a small area around Mpumalanga called verina. the area is
not a urban area but it is a rural area that is still developing, Verina was once a farm that was owned by a
farmer during the apartheid era and it is also named after that farmer. The
area has no minerals such as diamonds, gold and any other mineral that have
been yet found. The nearest town is witbank which is known for its coal mine
and big malls. Witbank is well known all over South Africa.
My
matric subjects are mathematics literacy, geography, consumer studies, tourism,
isiNdebele, English first additional, life oration. The subject that I loved at
school was tourism and English, I really loved these subjects because they are
the subjects I performed good at and I found a big problem with maths that’s
why I ended up doing maths lit in grade 12 and I tried my level best at it but
still couldn’t manage till I took a few extra classes that at least helped me
to manage but not at my level best.
Technology
was not that much used at my school but we had a computer lab where I think
technology was used and the lab was for only grade 12 so one will only get to
use the computers during his final year at the school, other devices like cell
phones and laptops where not allowed at the school because of the schools code
of conduct.
