In celebration of Youth Month in South Africa, St David's Marist lnanda is proud of the opening of its satellite high school campus for boys in Alexandra. This exciting development aims to empower the youth of Alexandra by providing access to quality education and bridging the educational gap that exists between different communities.
"As we commemorate Youth Month, it is crucial to invest in the education and future of our youth," says Executive Headmaster, Mr Mike Thiel. "By opening our satellite campus in Alexandra as of January this year, we are committed to empowering young minds and creating opportunities for academic excellence and personal growth."
Youth Month, observed annually in June, serves as a tribute to the brave youth of 1976 who fought against inequality and injustice in South Africa. St David's Marist lnanda recognises the importance of education as a means to empower and uplift young individuals, making it a central focus of their mission.
The opening of St David's Marist Inanda (Alexandra Campus) represents a significant step towards bridging the educational gap between Sandton and Alexandra. By providing a quality educational experience in Alexandra, St David's Marist lnanda aims to break down barriers and create a more inclusive society.
"Our satellite campus in Alexandra is more than just a school; it is a beacon of hope for the youth in the community," Mr Thiel further explains. "We believe every child deserves access to an excellent education, regardless of background or location. Through this initiative, we are investing in the future leaders of our nation."
The satellite campus offers a comprehensive educational program rooted in Catholic values and the Marist ethos. Students have the opportunity to engage in a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, and community service, fostering their holistic development.
As Youth Month provides a platform to celebrate the achievements and potential of young people, St David's Marist lnanda is committed to nurturing the talents and aspirations of the youth in Alexandra. By offering quality education and empowering students to reach their full potential, the school aims to contribute to the positive transformation of the community.
St David’s Marist Inanda is linking boys on both campuses and allowing past social divisions to be broken down as they learn. “Our aim is to create a new educational model for South Africa which seeks not to uproot young people from their community, but allows them to access excellence in their community.”
As South Africa commemorates Youth Month, St David's Marist lnanda stands at the forefront of empowering young minds in Alexandra and creating this new educational model. Through their commitment to providing quality education and bridging the educational and social gaps between communities, they are creating a brighter future for the youth of South Africa.
