Hola MaHigh-School - September 2020

If the matric results are only out in late
February, the acceptance criteria must be
based on something else – if the pre-
Covid deadlines are anything to go by.
That said, the mid-year results are not
there either. More clarity is needed – or
maybe I just got it wrong – all of it. I
stand to be corrected and will happily
receive feedback here.
Looking at the websites, we can see that
September – in many instances – was last
chance for submitting applications. Will
that change?
The other big one is NSFAS
NSFAS applications for 2021 will close
on 30 November 2020. It is also not clear
what it might be based on, except the
acceptance at tertiary institutes. Which is
also a bit difficult to predict.
Where to go and seek help?
We suggest staying in contact with the
school. This might be the better option
in terms of clarity.
And of course: be online.
That might require going to the mall to
tap into the free Wi-Fi. And that is also
called flexibility.
Good luck to all. Stay positive
