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.
