On March 12, 50 people—including 33 parents, as well as various college coaches and administrators—were charged in six U.S. states over an alleged racketeering (a.k.a. fraudulent business) scheme. They’re accused of facilitating cheating as well as bogus athletic admissions to increase kids’ chances of getting into American colleges such as Yale and Stanford. Among those charged are two rather famous actors: Desperate Housewives’s Felicity Huffman and Full House’s Aunt Becky (real name: Lori Loughlin).

Six St Stithians Boys' Prep boys, joined by six girls from Girls' Prep and staff from both schools, recently attended the Round Square Africa Regional Conference for 12 - 14 year olds, hosted by Dainfern College.

The Boys' Prep First Cricket Team recently participated in the Prep Schools Cricket Festival in Grahamstown, hosted by Kingswood College.

The Boys' Prep First Cricket team toured the UK during the August break. Once again the boys proved to be wonderful ambassadors for St Stithians College, their families and South Africa.
