JuniorTukkie scoops Gold Excellence Award at MACE 2018

Posted on December 06, 2018

The JuniorTukkie programme in the Department of Enrolment and Student Administration was entered into this year’s Marketing, Advancement and Communication in Education (MACE)* Competition in the Category: Student Recruitment Campaigns. On Thursday, 22 November 2018, JuniorTukkie received a Gold Excellence Award at the MACE Awards Ceremony held at Nitida Wine Estate, Durbanville. This is an excellent achievement taking into consideration that JuniorTukkie competed against entries from tertiary institutions across South Africa.

JuniorTukkie’s goal is to equip learners from Grade 9 to Grade 12 with the knowledge they will need to meet the wide range of challenges they may face as they pursue their chosen study programmes and professions. There is no doubt that the JuniorTukkie programme gives learners distinct advantages as they move from one educational phase to another. JuniorTukkie plays an important role in learners’ transition from high school to university, as well as in their continuing development. Through its various initiatives, such as the Grade 11 Empowerment Week and Grade 12 Preparation Conference (supported by Investec), e-learning programmes and the Grade 11 Top Achievers Function (among others), the programme has contributed to the University of Pretoria’s status as an institution of choice for top-achieving matriculants from across the country. It is clear that participation in the JuniorTukkie programme has transformed the lives of many learners and students. The JuniorTukkie team is firmly focused on the future, ensuring that the programme remains proactive, relevant and effective in these rapidly changing times.

*The MACE Excellence Awards takes place annually and recognises and celebrates excellence and the achievements of specialists and practitioners in marketing, communication and advancement in the higher education sector.
