Mapula, Joni and Ruth entered the regional round of the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists. Two won gold and one won silver.
Every student named here is enrolled at CambriLearn. New stories are added during the school year.
Lia sat five AS Level subjects with CambriLearn and earned an A in every one. Shaakirah earned A grades in three of her International GCSE subjects and is now working through her A Levels.
The step up from International GCSEs to AS Level was the hardest part. Lia worked through it with past papers and a weekly plan she kept to, and she asked her teachers questions until each topic made sense.
She finished the syllabus a month before exams, so revision time was spent revising.
She learned how topics connect instead of memorising notes.
Content first, then past papers, then exam technique, kept as separate stages.
Online learning taught me responsibility and independence. Without a traditional classroom structure, I developed strong self-discipline and internal motivation. With the right routine, online education can be as effective or even more effective than traditional schooling.

Clear up confusion on the day it appears.
Put breaks and a daily walk in the schedule.
International GCSE, now taking A Levels
Shaakirah earned A grades in three of her International GCSE subjects and is working through her A Levels now. She was placed in the academic top five at high school and holds an Eisteddfod Prestige award.
She plans to finish her A Levels and apply to universities in the United Kingdom and Europe, then study Accounting and Finance.

Three CambriLearn students entered the regional round of the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists. Mapula and Joni won gold. Ruth won silver.
The Eskom Expo is the largest school science competition in South Africa. Every entrant has to present at a compulsory district round before reaching a regional fair, and projects are assessed at each stage by panels drawn from engineering, medicine, research and academia.

Projects presented at 287 district rounds
Projects reaching 38 regional fairs
Finalists from the regional fairs go on to the Eskom Expo International Science Fair, held in Gauteng at the end of September.
Mapula designed an adjustable, modular below knee prosthesis for low income communities, built from materials available locally. Her mentor, Mr Waheed, supported the project from the first sketch. She is now working on a knee joint for above knee amputees.
I hope to have a fully functioning prosthetic that is affordable, strong, durable and comfortable.
MapulaJoni read that some commercial sanitary pads contain chemicals linked to health problems. She developed a pad that is affordable for rural communities, biodegradable and free of those ingredients. She now wants to start a charity to distribute it.
My teachers have been incredibly supportive and encouraging. They have always been willing to answer my questions, guide me when I needed help, and motivate me to do my best.
JoniA visit to a fire station led Ruth to PFAS, the chemicals used in firefighting foam and protective gear that have been linked to long term illness. Her project compares PFAS based foam with fluorine free alternatives on safety and performance.
My mission is that if I can't figure out a substitute that is safer, to spread awareness of the issue.
RuthAll three projects were completed alongside a full academic timetable, with subject teachers and mentors available throughout.
CambriLearn students compete without leaving school. Lessons are timetabled in the morning and recorded, so a tournament week does not mean missed work.
Golf
Casey won the Nomads SA Girls Championship in the Championship Division. She then helped Team SA win the All Africa Junior Team Championships, which qualified the team for the Junior World Cup in Japan.
She trains and travels through the school year. Her lessons are timetabled in the morning and recorded, so she can catch up between rounds without falling behind on the syllabus.

Muthoni is eleven and in Grade 7. She has qualified for the Kenyan swimming nationals, finished second out of fifty at her first gala and earned her green belt in karate. She trains with NextGen Sports Academy in Nairobi.
She also kitesurfs on the Kenyan coast, plays chess and bakes. In her own words, she is strong, kind and smart.

I can adjust my schedule when necessary. With CambriLearn my learning is fun and informative. Follow your dreams and never hold back.
Muthoni, Grade 7
Tessa is a Stage 5 student in Phalaborwa, Limpopo. At eight she opened a public museum of fossils, rocks, crystals and rare artefacts, including a meteorite dated at 4.6 billion years.
Museum founder and curator
It started at seven with a visit to the Foskor Museum. The curator, Gloria, showed her around, and Tessa spent the months that followed designing an exhibit of her own. She now shows visitors through it herself.
Live, timetabled lessons keep the school day to a set window.
She catalogues the collection, researches new pieces and guides visitors.
The British Curriculum trains her to ask of a topic what she asks of a fossil.
