Boys’ Preparatory News

Mandela Day serves as a significant day in the South African calendar, and we at St Stithians take immense pride in celebrating Nelson Mandela's legacy through acts of kindness on 18 July. This year, we held our second collaborative Mandela Day initiative involving all three schools: Junior Prep, Boys' Prep, and Girls' Prep.

Every year in June, the Boys' Prep hosts a service in our Chapel to honour our dads and other important male figures in our boys' lives, and this year was no different.

From Bear Grylls overalls to Harry Potter cloaks, characters come alive. Teachers and classmates listened attentively as each student unveiled their Book in a Box. The magic lies not only in the stories but also in the enthusiasm.

Boys' Prep held their Interhouse Athletics Meet in March, and it turned out to be a spirited affair with some great performances on and off the field.

On March the 7th 2024 the Boys' Prep Grade Four students embarked on an unforgettable journey through history. In a dazzling display of creativity and insight, they brought to life an array of iconic figures in our Live Wax Museum. Parents were amazed: "It was incredible. Well done to everyone involved and thank you. Never seen anything like it - I was blown away." Nicola Dickson

CROSS CAMPUS ARTS FESTIVAL  The students from both the Girls’ and Boys’ Prep schools experienced another wonderful Cross Campus Arts Festival on Friday 16 February. This day is an opportunity for a great deal of synergy and meaningful connection between the two schools through the exploration of a variety of Creative Arts activities. 

Our Grade Three boys and any boys joining the College for the first time in Grades Four to Seven, were recently capped by their buddies in a special Chapel Service.

The Boys' Prep started the 2024 school year off with a bang on Wednesday 17 January, when we welcomed all our families back for the start of the first term.

It was a wonderful start to the Third Term for our Grade Five students, who had the opportunity to share all the work they have done, with their parents, in a Celebration of Learning on the first Friday of school.

On Wednesday 12 June, the Grade Six Social Sciences students flipped the classroom. Instead of the content being taught and the teacher asking questions, the boys drafted their own questions after being provided with the study material.
