Dear Head of School,
This is a personal invitation. Only 400 IEB Q5 schools across South Africa have been invited to enter the inaugural BridgeApp School Excellence Competition — a 6-month programme that ends with one school being awarded a fully funded study pod installation, valued at over R150,000.
The competition is built on a simple idea: schools that get their matriculants into the right universities deserve recognition. BridgeApp is South Africa's most supportive excellence partner to students, parents, and schools — and we want to make your school the proof.
