In honour of Mandela Day, we visited Heaven’s Nest and Nazareth House with the tinned food and socks that we collected for this purpose. We spent a lovely morning there, playing games, singing, dancing and feeling united in joy. Many thanks to our parents and pupils for their generous donations that made this experience possible.
Happy Mandela Day!
Much love and joy filled our campus today for our Champagnat Day Masses and celebrations.

We celebrated St Joseph’s Day with two beautiful Masses and it was wonderful to have many parents joining us for this special Feast Day.
We marked the start of Lent with meaningful Ash Wednesday services. It was lovely to have some of our parents joining us at these Masses.
Our Matric Induction Mass was a very special occasion. As is tradition, the Matrics led the Grade One pupils into Mass to welcome them to the next stage of their educational journey.
It was a joyful start to the year as we welcomed all of the pupils to our beautiful campus. Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful year ahead!
Marist Mercy Care is one of the largest non-profit organisations in the Sundays River Valley. They run a number of incredibly enriching community based initiatives throughout the year that add great value to the lives of the children, youth and aged in the area. Student leaders of the Marist Schools in South Africa volunteered at the December summer camp which was attended by over 400 children in the Addo area to add fun and learning to their Christmas holidays.
Our Valedictory service was a very special occasion and we paid tribute to our wonderful Matric Class of 2023.
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.
