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.

Teubes Treats

 

We are so fortunate to be apart of the legacy of Tubby Teubes. His association with the St Joseph's Marist College Special Needs spans 26 years (and counting). His son Paul, our favourite uncle ;), continues to carry the torch of his parents history of community developement and upliftment. 

We love you Paul and not only because you treat us to a special outing every term.

We had a wondeful lunch hanging with  Paul at Spur and made some great memories.

Thank you again Paul and the Teubes Family.

visit from Keith Juluka

We were pleased to welcome a visitor who shared a fun and creative way of teaching children. He used Afrikaans songs to help the kids learn new words, concepts, and skills in an enjoyable way. The children participated enthusiastically by singing along, making the learning experience interactive and memorable.

 

The show goes on...

Thank you for making Friday evening an unforgettable success. 

We could not be prouder of our children, who brought the stage to life and delivered a beautiful message through their wonderful performances. They truly shone like stars.

We were deeply moved by the incredible turnout. Seeing the hall filled to capacity with supportive families brought so much joy to the event. 

The SNU staff would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and for your incredibly generous and thoughtful gifts.
