About us

We are the for-free magazine for all grade 10-12 students in South Africa..

Our editorial line is one of providing 'edutainment'. Some good tips of how to get through and fun and tech and science and world-news and more.

We pride ourselves of having been around for 15 years now - and still being read!

We publish everything online, also on Facebook and X but we also do 4 print issues per year.

We stick to 64 pages for now, but hey - that can change.

Of course it is exciting and that is why we see a lot of high-school students writing for us. It is a chance to get to be known and have something worthwhile on the CV - while still in school.

Kpop is now global-very global

K-Pop is surely global and international now. It is much more than Korea. Is Rock ‘n Roll American? Exactly! K-Pop is now something for all.

Here is the latest one. It shows how far we are:

Katseye is a girl group based in Los Angeles.

The group is composed of six members: Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Manon Bannerman, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, and Yoonchae Jeung. With members from the Philippines, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States, Katseye is often described as a "global girl group".

The group was formed through the 2023 reality competition series Dream Academy, a collaboration between Hybe and Geffen Records.

Katseye debuted in June 2024 with the single "Debut", followed by their breakthrough single, "Touch". In April 2025, they released "Gnarly" which served as the lead single for their second EP, Beautiful Chaos (2025). Despite receiving mixed reactions on release, the single garnered significant attention and earned the group their first entry on the Billboard Hot 100.

Katseye is recognized for their distinctive fashion identity, prominently drawing influence from Y2K fashion. Their growing brand image has led to multiple endorsements and campaigns tying into the style, including a campaign with Fendi's Baguette bag and Gap's low-rise denim. Katseye has also worked with British soap company Lush, American fashion house Coach, and Filipino fast food chain Jollibee.

Portfolio Power - a new way

As technology accelerates, markets shift, and workplace expectations evolve, with uncertainty always front of mind, South African professionals are increasingly opting to pursue portfolio careers - combining several professional activities instead of depending on a single full-time employer

Mental health and matric

The final year of high school is considered one of the most defining periods in a young person’s life, as it plays a large part in determining their path and options for the future.

“The pressure on our young people is tremendous, with long study hours, fear of failure, comparison with peers, and uncertainty about the future creating a perfect storm of anxiety and stress.

Maintaining mental health during this period is therefore essential not only for performance, but also for long-term well-being.

AVBOB - Step 12

A pitfall that many Grade 12 learners experience is in preparing for their final language exams as if the expectations of each exam paper are the same – a mistake that ultimately costs marks. Revision strategies that serve one paper well can actively mislead preparation for another.

This is the gap that AVBOB STEP 12 Examination Preparation Guides are designed to close with an independent, focused guide for each of the three papers.
