It is with great pride and gratitude that we announce the Matric results for the 2025 cohort of Herzlia High School. In her report on the results, Minister of Education, Ms Siviwe Gwarube, said that the Matrics of 2025 “reaffirm our belief in the transformative power of education and the bright future it continues to shape”.
Her words are powerful because they remind us of the critical role of education in our country. In our own context this resonates as we celebrate the remarkable transformation in thought, understanding and skills that our pupils acquire and the role of Herzlia in shaping their future.

We celebrate the results because they reflect the hard work and engagement of our pupils. They reveal the positive impact of parental support, upbringing, exposure, and the value placed on education. The results also recognise the dedication of our teachers, the SEED Department (Supporting Educational and Emotional Development), our administration teams, facilities, and school leadership, all of whom have played a role in educating our children.
What is not immediately visible in the results is the personal growth of our pupils, and the remarkable challenges many of them have had to overcome in their schooling. Our pupils have embraced the core values of our 5 pillars of education, empowering them to become valuable members of our community. Over the next few weeks, we will share the stories of some of the 2025 Matric pupils to show the depth of thought and values that marks alone cannot convey.
At the end of their school journey, we want our Herzlia pupils to leave as alumni with a sense of achievement, knowing they are capable of tackling complex tasks and working through challenges.
Mazaltov, Class of 2025, we celebrate you.
