Learners have benefited from improved access to resources, including past examination papers, structured study guides, and teacher-led exam technique workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Koning highlighted that enhanced collaboration between teachers, subject heads, and the school management team has ensured consistency in curriculum coverage and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Increased parental communication and learner accountability measures have also contributed significantly to improved attendance, punctuality, and learner commitment, particularly in the senior phase,&#8221; she added.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vision-for-excellence\">Vision for excellence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, Koning outlined the school&#8217;s ambitious vision: &#8220;Kuils River Technical High School aims to develop into a high-performing, learner-centred technical institution that produces disciplined, skilled, and future-ready graduates.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school seeks to balance academic excellence with technical and vocational competence, ensuring learners are equipped for further education, training, and meaningful workforce participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Through a culture of high expectations, continuous improvement, and inclusivity, we strive to become a centre of excellence where every learner is supported, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential,&#8221; Koning said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acting Principal Faldilah Koning attributed the
