Members were encouraged by the fact that the school excelled in different activities such as athletics, netball, soccer and music and had received trophies for its achievements. It also had a big vegetable garden which benefitted the school population. In terms of learner performance, in 2012, out of 1 803 leaners, 1 691 had passed. With regard to ANA, the school performed well in the Foundation Phase but did not perform as well in the Intermediate Phase.
