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.

Term One has been extremely busy for our Junior Prep boys!  Beyond doing remarkably well in settling into the new routines of a new grade and class, this term has been filled with activities and events. The boys have taken advantage of every opportunity to learn, develop, and grow, in the classroom, on the sports field, on stage, or outside of the school gates. 

This term has been very exciting for the Senior Preparatory, marked by a blend of hands-on STEM exploration, emphasis on effective communication skills, enhancement of study techniques, and engagement with cutting-edge educational technology. These endeavours reflect our ongoing commitment to providing a holistic and dynamic educational environment that equips students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
