As our Matrics head into the last phase of their schooling years, we would like to wish you all the best.
Here's the virtual equivalent of a Matric anti-stress kit just for you...
Vaseline - don't forget you are the balm
M & M's - because you are Magnificent & Marvellous
Biltong - it's time to beef up your brain
Gummy bears - Hope this will make finals more "bear'able"
Peanuts - don't let your exams drive you nuts
Biscuits - you are one smart cookie
Apple juice - an apple a day keeps bad grades away
Smarties - Hey smarty do your best
Super C - Orange you glad finals are almost over!

just remember...
"Matric results don't define who you are or what job you will ultimately do or how successful you will be, but they do determine the very next choice that you make, and the direction of your first year of adult life"
-Nikkie Bush, human potential and parenting expert
