Nelson Mandela said, “A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of.” As we reflect on this past term, St David’s Marist Inanda is making strides in making the world a better place. The generosity of the St David’s Marist community has been evident in all activities that have happened this term. For this I would like to thank everyone for allowing us to make this impact felt.

As we draw near to the end of another term, it’s time to reflect on our journey, marked by numerous highs and, thankfully, not too many lows. This term has been jam-packed with activities, accomplishments, and, of course, challenges. However, through it all, one thing remains certain - the unwavering commitment to our Marist values and ensuring the best interests of our boys stay at the forefront of our decision-making.

We are thrilled to share the progress made on our recent joint projects with the school. The newly renovated Staffroom stands as a symbol of appreciation for our incredible staff. At the same time, the upgraded Clinic and modern Meeting Rooms reflect our commitment to providing top-notch facilities for students and faculty.

Our athletes have showcased remarkable dedication and prowess throughout 2023, and the upcoming sporting events in 2024 promise to be nothing short of spectacular, as our young sportsmen are already fully involved and sparing no effort across sporting codes.

Term 1 brings renewed opportunities in academics, culture, and sports. We are excited to be back on the sports field and in the music and art spaces. Thanks to Mr Makola and his team of coaches and teachers (JP & SP) for putting together a busy term of sporting and cultural activities.

This term has been a hub of activity, featuring engaging tours, vibrant cultural events, and rigorous academic commitments across all grades. The Grade 7s have been diligently assessed through continuous skills-based activities and content reviews. 

December has a particular feel about it – and the anticipation of the Advent season and the excitement of Christmas never gets old. It is also a time of reflection and gratitude for those many blessings we have received through the year.

On behalf of the Board of Governors, I wish to thank each member of the St David’s community for their support for St David’s Marist Inanda in 2023. It is a pleasure and privilege to serve as Chair of the Board at this fine institution, and we recognise the many people that contribute to making it such – staff, parents, boys, alumni, and friends of St David’s.
