Squad Goals

 

We had the whole squad rolling down the block. 

Everyone wanted to be part of our group!

Teacher Teacher!

 

       

"Come settle down class!" 🤭

Still trying to get this lesson started but we got some stragglers...

Finally, all settled and ready - "Now, what's 2 + 2?"

It was fun to see some of the kids wanting to play Teacher Teacher today when the unpredictable Cape Town weather sent us inside for break. Now we know when the teachers need a coffee break, we've got a trusty helper to jump in for Maths and English.  

😂☕

Marble Mania...

 

STEM isn't just a part of a flower - it’s also a chance to explore our analytical thinking, problem - solving and engineering skills! Putting our recycling knowledge to the test, we gave old cardboard, paper and toilet rolls a new purpose by transforming them into marble mazes. There was plenty of concentration, creativity and determination as everyone worked hard to design and build the best maze they could!

Help comes in all shapes and sizes...

 

It’s important to remember that learning doesn’t only happen through teachers. Peer learning can be just as valuable with learners having so much to learn from one another's experiences and knowledge. Whether it’s teachers, assistants, helpers or friends - opportunities to learn are all around us because learning can happen anywhere and with anyone!

All Souls Day

 

 

All Souls Day is a special day where we remember and honour our loved ones that have passed away. This morning, we said a special prayer and lit a candle for our cherished family members both human and pet alike... 

Friday Fever!

 

What's the opposite of Monday Blues? Friday Fever! Just some of our learners hanging out at the end of the day waiting for the countdown to 1pm. After a hard day's work, it's good to see them take a restful moment and have such happy smiles (even the "why are you taking a photo now?" eyeroll..) 

Keep Calm and Stay Busy...

                                                                                                  

Our Lego-landers

Our Picassos

And Bob the Builder...

Happy Montagne Day!

 

We were one event short of a triathlon today with just running and swimming by our various junior and senior school learners. What a fantastic event full of school spirit, cheering and shouting for our friends, some good natured rivalry and finishing off with delicious ice lollies! While the day was filled with joy and celebration, it’s also the perfect moment to pause and reflect on the history behind it. Today, we honour the incredible story of John Baptiste Montagne, a boy who inspired St. Marcellin Champagnat to establish our Marist school community in order to share God's love with the world!

Saving the planet one plastic bottle at a time...🚮🗑️🌳🌍

 

Our future scientists discussing the best ways to save our planet during our Nature Study Lesson today. We learnt a lot about what kinds of things we can recycle and compost and we hope to see all this talk put into action outside of school too!

Meeting Cheslin Kolbe

 One of our learners, a passionate rugby fan, was thrilled to meet Cheslin Kolbe at a book signing. It was an unforgettable opportunity!

SARDA Countryside challenge

 

Our learners thoroughly enjoyed participating in the SARDA Countryside Challenge. They loved spending time with the horses, learning new skills, and stepping outside their comfort zones in a fun, supportive environment. The day was filled with smiles, laughter, and excitement, while also helping them build confidence, strengthen teamwork, and celebrate a real sense of achievement.

Social Skills lesson 👍

To internalise the themes in our social skills curriculum the best way to learn is through play.

Here our senior class sharpen their tools by playing games, practising rules and demonstrating to each other how to get along.

Teacher Appreciation 😎

To celebrate our teachers for World Teachers' Day we dressed up as our favourite teacher. Can you even tell us apart?

Work is Work!

It's so wonderful to see our children focused and ready to work in their sessions. 

 

Back in the swing of things...

 

Just a few snapshots of bustling classrooms, engaged minds and busy bodies to kick off week 1...

10 weeks to go!

School days are great when I get to share them with my friends. 

Welcome Back!

 

After a nice refreshing break, it has been great to see all our learners again and the joy and excitement of friends reunions. We are looking forward to a busy but prosperous term as we work our way towards the end of 2026.
