At the WCED awards ceremony Derek Reissenzahn was awarded a certificate and prize for coming 2nd in the Province in the Matric exams last year. We congratulate Derek on this superb achievement. Bishops received a certificate of merit for being the top performing boys' school in the Province.

We are extremely proud of these results and congratulate every boy on his achievement and thank all the Bishops teachers whose guidance and motivation made these results possible.
