🏅 Nomination as One of the Top Ten Cambridge Associate Schools
What a privilege for Keurbosch School – Knysna!
On 13 November 2023 at 4:17 pm, we received this exceptional message from the British Council, confirming our nomination:
“Dear School Leader and Exams Officer,
We are writing to you as you are one of the Top Ten British Council Partner Schools, and we are extremely proud to have you on board…”
We at Keurbosch — as leadership and staff — are deeply humbled by this honour. To be nominated as one of the Top Ten British Council (Cambridge Associate Schools) is a true milestone in our journey.
We extend heartfelt thanks to our teachers, staff, students, and parents who made this recognition possible.
Special recognition goes to Mr. Jason Oberholster, our dedicated Exam Officer, for his outstanding diligence, precision, and integrity in managing our external examinations. His efforts continue to reflect the highest level of professionalism.
“We appreciate the integrity and unparalleled quality with which he runs the external exams. Feedback from the British Council staff, parents, and students has been exceptional.”
While we never chase recognition, we remain committed to excellence. If acknowledgments like this come our way — they are seen as a bonus, a by-product of our unwavering dedication to our students.
We are, and will remain, a student-focused school. May we always chase excellence with humility.
🔍 Surprise British Council Inspection – 14 November 2023
The very next day, Keurbosch was visited for a surprise quality inspection by the British Council to ensure our exam protocols meet Cambridge standards.
“Hi Michiel, I hope you are well! I just did the most amazing spot check at your school, and I was so absolutely impressed. I’m sorry to have missed you, I couldn’t let you know I was coming!
Jason and Buhle were wonderful, and everything ran so smoothly with their exam.”
The inspection covered exam documentation, storage safes, invigilation procedures, and full compliance with Cambridge regulations. We passed with flying colours.
Let us continue to uphold these high standards, striving always to serve our students with excellence and integrity.
Warm regards,
Michiel Coetzee
Principal – Keurbosch School
