Dear College Parents

 

It has been a quiet few weeks at the College as our Matrics write their Mock Exams and our Grade 11s have been away on work shadow and the leadership camp. The same cannot be said for our country as we continue to reel from the ongoing gender based violence, xenophobic and criminal attacks and destruction in many parts of the country. We have continued to engage with our boys in tutor groups on the topic of violence against women and children.

 

While it is important that as a Community we engage with our boys around these difficult issues, it is equally important that we build them up and celebrate the many good aspects of boys and men and instil a positive self esteem in each of them. In the end, schools need to be places of hope and optimism!
