Today we were privileged to have some very special visitors to both our campuses. From the Marist Institute in Rome were Br Luis Carlos Gutiérrez, Vicar General and Br Jorge Gaio, Econome General. They were accompanied by Br Emmanuel Mwanalirenji, Provincial of Southern Africa.

We are truly thankful for the beautiful philanthropic support that has continued from our St David’s community and beyond in the first five months of this year, in support of so many aspects of St David’s and the two physical campuses. St David’s is a specialist in boys’ education and your support allows us to support St David’s in continuing to offer a quality values-based education grounded in the Marist way.

An essential part of the mission and vision of St David's Marist Inanda is our commitment to the professional development of all our staff, and our dedication to those entrusted in our care. In line with this, we welcomed Luke Lamprecht and Robyn Vorster on Monday, 6 May, to present a workshop on Child Safeguarding. This workshop was highly valuable, and we as a school acknowledge the importance of continuing to ensure that our school is a safe environment for all.

It is the end of a particularly busy and rewarding term. I look back at a time where all our boys matured further, a time in which they were challenged to grow, to find their personal passions and to have fun in the sporting and cultural spaces while learning academically. It was a time of developing further the love of ‘work’ and the commitment to serving others that we know will define their characters in their adult lives. Whether a boy is in Grade 00 or Grade 12, and on the Sandton Campus or Alexandra Campus, he has completed the next step on his Marist journey.

Thank you so much to our St David’s community for the many ways you have supported the Foundation during this first term of 2024. Our donors have donated R3 million in the first three months of this year!

The PTA has had a successful term and we are grateful for the St David's community's support, involvement, and assistance in our endeavours this term.

Nelson Mandela said, “A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of.” As we reflect on this past term, St David’s Marist Inanda is making strides in making the world a better place. The generosity of the St David’s Marist community has been evident in all activities that have happened this term. For this I would like to thank everyone for allowing us to make this impact felt.

As we draw near to the end of another term, it’s time to reflect on our journey, marked by numerous highs and, thankfully, not too many lows. This term has been jam-packed with activities, accomplishments, and, of course, challenges. However, through it all, one thing remains certain - the unwavering commitment to our Marist values and ensuring the best interests of our boys stay at the forefront of our decision-making.
