St David's Marist Inanda

Since 1941, St David’s Marist Inanda has been a place of both teaching and learning; a place where children receive the benefits of an education at a school whose strength and history afford every child the opportunity to achieve his full potential, to find both roots and wings.

Each boy is encouraged to develop his own special talents, be they academic, sporting or cultural, so that he can face the challenges of the future with confidence.

From The Mini Council

On behalf of the Johannesburg Mini City Council we would like to thank you for your very generous donations to our Choc party.  Your response was so good that we were able to pack an extra 1000 party packs for 2 other charities.  We were proud to represent our school and, seeing how happy the party packs made the children, made us realise how very lucky we are.

Grade 6’s visit to Lerome Mission

Some of the Grade 6 boys went on the Grade 6 Outreach, to visit the very poor congregation of a Parish in Lerome.  Money had been raised for them to buy water as they have no water, nor electricity.  John Wilkinson co-ordinated the project from January and we raised R7 500.  We worshipped and socialized with them last Sunday.  Their happy faces made the two and a half hour trip worthwhile.  The kiddies enjoyed the crisps and juice we provided and clothes were given to the HIV infected people who can no longer work.  It was a very humbling experience.  We have been supporting this cause for 5 years.

Grade 10 & 11 General Knowledge Quiz Versus St Teresa’s

Last Thursday evening, 22nd October, the College Library was buzzing with a crowd of eager participants and supporters of the annual Grade 10 & 11 General Knowledge Quiz. The very competitive St Teresa’s team was initially in the lead, but the boys soon caught up and, during a tense but fun session of charades, strengthened their lead to win convincingly with 131 points to St Teresa’s 112. St Teresa’s retained the “Spirit Cup” following a rousing war cry from the girls.
 
The boys behaved in their usual spirited but courteous manner. Congratulations to the team: Gabriel Ally; Steve Bailey; Matthew Cryer;  Lekgotla Moabelo; Brendan Pike; Matthew Rigby; Simon Rigby; Tristan Schafer; Sondiyaze Tamsanqa; Calvin Turnbull; Raymond Zambon. Thanks also to Alex Radford who assisted with the scoring.
