Joint Rosary Prayer 2023

By Dominican Convent Belgravia, Homepage news, Marist Brothers Linmeyer, Sacred Heart College, St David’s Marist Inanda, St Henry’s Marist College, St Joseph's Marist College

Every year, the Marist Schools in South Africa set aside an hour in October to say a decade of the Rosary during this special month. October is seen as the month of the Rosary due to the fact that the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on 7 October. As Marists, we have a special devotion to Mary and it is important to us to mark this month in a way that brings us all together in prayer.

To love the skin they are already in

By Dominican Convent Belgravia, Homepage news

On Tuesday 4 April, the actors of the Kwasah entertained us! Theatre Company, who came to share a very important message with our Grade 6 and Grade 7 learners. The play was titled: “The skin I am in” and is based on the storybook of the same name.

Through song, dance and rap battles, the cast taught the learners tolerance, diversity and most importantly – TO LOVE THE SKIN THEY ARE IN.

The play was amazing, vibrant, and necessary. We live in a world that all too often judges people on their looks, their choices and their abilities.

The children partook in the dances and the post discussions with the cast. It was inspiring to see that our learners paid attention to the actual message of the play, and that going forward they will not only love their own skin, but also try not judge or tease another person for their skin.

The play left the learners with much to think about and much to chat about.

Thank you Kwasha! For teaching, our learners’ valuable concepts like:

“Skin colour is only a problem if you make it a problem”

“Though my skin is a source of pride, it does not show you what is inside”

“All people are clever. All people are unique. Regardless of the skin they are in”
