Junior Primary Recognition Ceremony
Our Junior Primary Recognition Ceremony was a heartfelt occasion that encouraged us all to pause, reflect, and be fully present in the moment. The message was a powerful reminder to step away from distractions that do not add meaning or value to our lives, allowing us to connect more deeply
with what truly matters.
The Grade 3 boys led us through the ceremony with remarkable confidence while the parents were visibly moved by the coral verses and songs performed by each grade. Each boy was acknowledged for his effort, perseverance, and continuous hard work this year, through the awarding of certificates.
It was a truly special morning of reflection and unity. – Mrs Lauren Riley (Head of Junior Primary)
Dedication from our Matric Cricketers
The last game day of 2024 brought the curtain down on the school careers of six incredible young men. These Matrics have led from the front and have been strong ambassadors for St Charles College. At the end-of-season function on Saturday, Morne van Wyk and the coaches acknowledged their efforts and the excellent way they have finished.
We congratulate Brendon Sunguro, Connor Riley, Marcel Wellmann (captain), Kwanele Nqayi, Tristan Montile and Cian Fortmann, and wish them all the best for their next chapter. – Mr Rowan Irons (Director or Sport)
Prep Squash Championships
Over the last two weeks there has been much excitement on the squash courts as we have held our Prep Squash Champs. Firstly, we had our U12s compete against each other. Congratulations to Liam Minett for a well-deserved victory after many hours of practicing and commitment on the courts.
In the U13 age group, after some extremely close matches in the quarters, semis and the final itself, we congratulate Joel Cole-Edwardes on being the 2024 Prep Squash Champion.
Well done to all our boys on a great season which saw a record number of boys playing, and we thank our parents for their support to our boys and squash programme. – Mr Gregg Cole-Edwardes (Head of Prep Sport)
Science Explosion in the Prep School
Our Senior Primary Science Explosion was filled with hands-on experiments and fascinating demonstrations that sparked curiosity amongst all the boys. It was truly memorable to explore science in such an interactive setting! – Miss Lowe and Miss Johnson (SP Interns)
Grade 3 Assembly and Bell Ringing
Today, our Grade 3s celebrated their years in the Junior Primary by sharing their special memories and reflecting on the value of “pausing”, how it made them feel and what it has enabled them to achieve. The boys expressed their heartfelt thoughts through speeches, poetry and song.
As tradition goes, the Grade 3s rang the Junior Primary bell before departing through the tunnel of cheering Grade 1s and 2s, and gates to the Senior Primary.
We wish our graduates all the best for their future years of schooling. – Mrs Gail du Toit
Talking Drums
On Wednesday, our Grade 00 and Grade 5 to 7 boys participated in an engaging workshop with Talking Drums. Each session introduced the boys to simple rhythms, fostering creativity and coordination. Activities like these are beneficial as they enhance auditory processing, fine motor skills, and overall cognitive development in a fun and interactive way.
The boys thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on experience, leaving the workshop inspired and energized. – Mr Pierre Frenzel (Head of Music)
