Team of the Week
This past weekend, our 1st, 2nd, U16A, U15A, and U14A rugby teams travelled to the Wynberg Rugby Festival, where they experienced top tier, competitive rugby in the Mother City. Throughout the festival, our teams displayed immense courage and determination, proudly representing the Blue and Gold.
After a tough opening week of the winter season, our 1st XV bounced back with two standout performances – pushing Wynberg to the limit in a narrow defeat before delivering a dominant victory in their second fixture. Their hard work, resilience, and early-season grit have set the tone for an exciting campaign ahead.
For their impressive response and performances at the festival, we proudly recognize the 1st XV as our Team of the Week. Well done, boys! We’re looking forward to the rest of the season. – Mr Divan van Wyk (Sports Marketing)
Mic Night
On Wednesday evening, St Charles College proudly hosted Mic Night 2025 – an exciting showcase of musical talent. Our High School bands and Percussion Band took to the stage as the headline acts, performing with energy, passion, and precision. Their sets were well-rehearsed and engaging, setting a high standard for the evening.
The programme also featured impressive solo and group performances by students from St Charles College, St John’s D.S.G., The Wykeham Collegiate, and Epworth High School. The music was predominantly a mix of contemporary, rock, and pop, with each performer bringing something unique to the stage. The variety of styles kept the audience entertained and added richness to the overall event.
Hosted in the St Charles Indoor Centre (SKA), the evening was enjoyed by a large and enthusiastic audience. The atmosphere was vibrant and supportive, with cheers and applause filling the venue after each performance. Mic Night 2025 was a memorable celebration of young talent, collaboration, and the joy of live music. – Mr Pierre Frenzel (Head of Music)
Senior Primary Art Blast
This week, the Senior Primary was buzzing with excitement as boys took part in Art Blast. The theme for this year is centred on patterns – how to recognise them in daily life and the environment, and how to represent them in art.
The boys delved into various types of patterns and their arrangements, enjoying the opportunity to learn from different teachers while creating artwork they can be proud of. Kerry Peckham and Carrie Bennet shared their valuable artistic skills and knowledge, adding further richness to our overall subject. We look forward to displaying the art at our exhibition later this year.
Patterns can be found all around us, so next time you gaze at a field of flowers, a city street, or a stunning painting, take a moment to notice and appreciate the different patterns around you. – Mrs Lauren Harrison
Senior Primary Performance Week
This week marked the very first Performance Week for our Senior Primary boys at St Charles College.
During class music time, our Grade 5 to 7 instrumentalists had the opportunity to perform for one another in a relaxed and supportive environment.
This gave the boys a chance to share their musical progress with their peers while learning important aspects of performance etiquette – including how to present themselves on stage and how to be respectful, engaged audience members.
Well done to all the performers! – Mr Pierre Frenzel (Head of Music)
'Educate and Fascinate' in the Junior Primary
During the last week of term, Andre from Educate and Fascinate sparked our Junior Primary boy’s curiosity with his interactive presentation. Not only did the boys learn some interesting new facts, but they also got to meet and interact with some of these amazing creatures.
By teaching our boys about reptiles, we can unlock a world of wonder, curiosity and discovery, supporting them in their journey to becoming responsible, empathetic and critical thinking young men. – Mrs Debbie Sorour
Easter Egg Hunt in our Pre-Primary
The rainy weather didn’t deter the Easter Bunny from paying a secret visit to Scrummies this morning.
Our boys were ecstatic to find colourful cards that earned them a delicious easter treat!
