Endowment Fund
The project I would like to make a donation towards is:
Silumko Njenje Boys’ College Class of 2006 Fund
The Silumko Njenje Boys’ College Class of 2006 Fund has been established in loving memory of our classmate, Silumko “Slinky” Njenje, to honour his life and legacy. This fund will provide tuition assistance to a deserving student in need, ensuring that future generations have access to the same opportunities we shared. Furthermore, the fund will support the maintenance of our beloved sports grounds, particularly the cricket grounds and nets, and other important educational, sporting, and cultural initiatives at the college. Our goal is to create a lasting impact, using the interest generated by the fund to nurture the growth and development of the Boys’ College for years to come. We encourage our “06 Mob” of classmates to contribute to this meaningful cause, and especially consider signing up for recurring monthly donations, so that together we can build a substantial legacy in Slinky’s memory.
Girls' College Class of 2023 - Supporting Our Class Together
As members of the same St Stithians Girls’ College Class of 2023, we share a unique bond. Each of us is working hard to build a brighter future, but for some in our grade, financial challenges are making the journey especially tough. University fees can be a heavy burden, and for those struggling to pay them, the dream of higher education can feel out of reach. This is where we can make a difference. By coming together to support our classmates who are facing financial difficulties, we’re not just helping them stay in school—we’re investing in their potential, their dreams, and the collective success of our entire grade. Our goal is to raise R25 000 by 15 December 2024. When we lift each other up, we all rise together. Every contribution, no matter the size, shows that we care, that we believe in the power of community, and that we value the talents and ambitions of everyone in our class. Let’s stand together, support one another, and ensure that no one in our grade is left behind due to financial struggles. Together, we can make sure that every student has the opportunity to succeed and thrive. This speaks to our legacy of our umbrella of unity and inclusion. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to our shared success. Warm regards, Jozi Nupen
Boys' College Class of 1986
The Boys’ College class of 1986 remember their deceased classmates with a dedicated space on campus where we can meet, pay tribute and reminisce. The school has allocated a spot for us with benches that we have donated. Each of our classmates is remembered with a plaque. Many of us have stayed in touch over the years. Our active social media group allows us to update each other from all over the world on the events in our lives. To celebrate our lost classmates, and to acknowledge the role which Saints played in our own education, we have decided to give back through a fundraising initiative. All funds raised will be overseen by the Trustees of the St Stithians Endowment Fund, in conjunction with the College Advancement Office and the Class of 1986. We hope that this becomes an ongoing initiative for the Class of 1986.

The Boys’ College class of 1993 will be celebrating their 30-year reunion this year. We are a tight knit group, with many still being best of friends to this day. To celebrate this milestone, and to acknowledge the role which Saints played in our own education, we have decided to give back through a fundraising initiative. We commit to pledging all raised funds to projects overseen by the Trustees of the St Stithians Endowment Fund, in conjunction with the College Advancement Office. We hope that this becomes an ongoing initiative for the Class of 1993, and that it can serve as an example to other Classes celebrating significant reunions.

A Journey of Hope and Light
A call to the courageous, the visionaries, the adventurers, who see light and hope where others see darkness. Together we cannot wait for what might be. The courageous set sail not because they must, but because they can see the broader horizon. We can each light a candle; we can gather those candles into a flame, and together, light a beacon of hope. Our light, hope and strength comes from deep faith and the knowledge that we are part of a greater possibility. We are defined by what we dare to do. Let’s ensure the sustainability of St Stithians College for generations to come, not so that we can receive, but so that we can continue to give with generosity and sail with light and hope in our sails. To dream is not to wish, but to act. Join us and help raise R75m by 2028 for the St Stithians College Endowment Fund.
Carel Nolte Cultural Scholarship Fund

The Garden requires ongoing maintenance and care and we welcome donations towards keeping it as a beautiful tribute of those who have gone before us.
