Importance of literacy

By School News No Comments

Literacy is so much more than just reading books, it is developing understanding, comprehension and discerning nuances in texts.

Once you are able to read between the lines, that helps you not only in reading but in life too.

Public speaking

Our learners continue to excel, both on the chessboard and in academic arenas. At Derby Day, our chess teams shone brightly, taking the overall win against St George’s Grammar and the American International School. Their focus, strategy and teamwork are a reflection of the dedication they bring to every challenge.

Beyond sport, our pupils were also selected to participate in the prestigious South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) Interschools Quiz. This enriching experience gave them the chance to engage with critical global issues, test their knowledge, and represent St Joseph’s with pride.

These moments highlight how we nurture well-rounded learners at St Joseph’s Marist College. Whether through sport, academics or cultural opportunities, we encourage every child to grow in confidence, curiosity and excellence.

Grandparents’ Day 2025

By School News No Comments

Honouring the love and wisdom of our grandparents

We were delighted to welcome our grandparents to campus for our annual Grandparents’ Day celebrations. The occasion began with a vibrant performance by our Senior School Marimba bands, after which our Grade 7 leadership pupils warmly ushered grandparents to their tables for tea and entertainment.

The highlight of the morning was watching their mini Marist grandchildren shine on stage. Each class performed with joy, followed by the entire Pre-Primary joining together in songs that celebrated grandparents, peace and South Africa. Our Foundation Phase Choir added their beautiful voices, offering grandparents a glimpse of the exciting next chapter their grandchildren will enter at St Joseph’s.

Families also spent meaningful time together in the classrooms, taking part in activities that highlighted the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren. This tradition strengthens our family spirit and sense of togetherness that lies at the heart of our Marist community.

At St Joseph’s Marist College, we deeply value the love, wisdom and kindness that grandparents bring into our learners’ lives, and we are proud to celebrate their role in shaping our Marist family.
