	* Grade 12 is the ''year of matriculation'': the final exams of high school are administered by the government and are called ''"matric exams"'' so students in the final year of high school (grade 12 or the ''matriculation grade'') are known as "matrics" and if they pass these exams they are called ''matriculants'' or it's said that they ''"matriculated"''. Becoming a matriculant is required (with certain minimum conditions) for tertiary education. Some private schools also offer a post-matric "sixth form" year which allows students to sit for A-level examinations.		* Grade 12 is the ''year of matriculation'': the final exams of high school are administered by the government and are called ''"matric exams"'' so students in the final year of high school (grade 12 or the ''matriculation grade'') are known as "matrics" and if they pass these exams they are called ''matriculants'' or it's said that they ''"matriculated"''.
