‘Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new Centre of Gravity. Do not fight them. Just find a new way to stand.’- Oprah Winfrey
No quote captures the story of the achievements of the Class of 2021, the O’Icons, better than this quote from our Founder, Ms. Winfrey. This Class has felt the full brunt of COVID 19 and all its variants. They endured lockdowns, interrupted learning, dual learning and every conceivable challenge posed by online learning. They refused to crumble. When faced by challenges, they found their new centre of gravity and found a new way to stand.
We, at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG) are extremely proud to announce that, once again, we have achieved a 100% Pass and a 100% Bachelor’s Degree Pass rate. This means that the entire cohort of the Class of 2021, the O’Icons can enroll for degree studies at University. In addition, two of our girls received seven (7) distinctions each.

In addition, two of our girls received seven (7) distinctions each. The O’Icons have, during this challenging time, displayed quite a number of these virtues, namely, grit, resilience, courage, perseverance, self-leadership and being purpose-driven. They truly are Icons. Today, as the entire OWLAG Community, we celebrate these Icons. We honour their courage and grit and we celebrate their success. Most of all, we continue to learn from them and find our new ways to stand.
