The campus was buzzing with excitement and joy this morning as children greeted their friends and teachers for the start of the new school year. There is a wonderful sense of dedication and possibility in the staffroom too, with teachers having prepared wholeheartedly for the children’s arrival.
Joyful Noise was a celebration of the musical talent of our pupils! The choirs, marimba bands, string ensemble, class performances and SJMC band entertained the audience and uplifted our spirits for two nights of musical joy.
Our Athletics Day was filled with excitement, talent, perseverance and family spirit! Well done to all of the pupils for a day of supporting each other and achieving great results.
Our Matrics are in our thoughts and prayers as they write their final examinations.
We celebrated each child and their journey at St Joseph’s at a beautiful Valedictory service in our Chapel.
We celebrated Montagne Day with two beautiful Masses where we reflected on the importance of being Marist and caring for each other, and our wider community.
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.
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.
Congratulations to our pupils who received the sacrament of Confirmation this term. Bishop Sylvester David OMI conferred the sacrament of Confirmation on 8 of our pupils during a beautiful service in our Chapel, followed by tea and fellowship in the parlour.
The Gr 6 pupils enjoyed their time together on camp in Betty’s Bay and forged important bonds while learning to work together harmoniously ahead of their Gr 7 year as leaders of the Junior School. Thank you to all staff involved in ensuring their wellbeing and positive interactions during this time away.
