Congratulations, Class of 2025 — You did it!
A message from your Class Guardian
Dear Class 12s,
We certainly had a busy year…
2025 started off with a memorable Rose Ceremony where the Matric students welcomed the Class 1 children with a beautiful smile and a rose.
The weekly Saturday cycle tests started mid-February, marking the start of the portfolio work that forms part of the IEB National Senior Certificate assessment.
The Geography students enjoyed their 4-day Field Trip to the Free State and KwaZulu-Natal in March this year. The Field Trip is a crucial element of the curriculum, where the students experience economic geography, geomorphology, and the elements of nature first-hand.
The Life Sciences students visited the Cradle of Humankind and took their time to ponder humanity’s fascinating origin story.
The SRC leaders worked hard to revive the SRC, and we thank them for their enthusiasm and effort in this regard.
Original designs were considered for the Matric jackets, and our students wear them with pride.
We loved our final St John's festival – lighting the fire and saying our verse.
The art students' final drawing exam was a long and tiring 24 hours, but the results are amazing. We do have such talented students.
The Dramatic Arts students also worked very hard rehearsing for the final practical exam and were rewarded with excellent results.
Well done, dear Class of 2025, on pulling your weight and working so hard! We look forward to following your journeys in the future.
