St David\u2019s Marist Inanda achieved a 100% pass rate and a 100% Bachelor\u2019s Degree pass, with eight boys averaging 90% or above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St David\u2019s Marist Inanda is one of South Africa\u2019s leading independent Catholic boys’ schools, located in the heart of Sandton, Johannesburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1941, it has a reputation for striking a balance between high academic standards and a strong family spirit, rooted in Marist values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These values include humility, simplicity, and modesty, a family spirit, love of work, presence and “In the Way of Mary”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school is situated on a 21-acre campus on Rivonia Road and caters to boys from Grade 00 to Matric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 1948, it had its first matric class, and by 1953, the boys were participating competitively in athletics, swimming, tennis, rugby, football and cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, St David’s opened a satellite campus in Alexandra to extend its Marist footprint in line with its vision and mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St David’s has over 1400 pupils across the two campuses, offering world-class facilities to support the development and growth of its learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are highly competitive in cricket, water polo, rugby, football, and canoeing. The Temba Bavuma Oval is named after their famous alumnus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St David\u2019s Marist Inanda has a big music and arts culture. Their choir has won international awards, and they have a strong tradition in debating and drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St David\u2019s is consistently among the top-performing schools in South Africa under the IEB (Independent Examinations Board) curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Class sizes for complex subjects, such as mathematics, are kept small, often with as few as 14 students, to allow for individualised attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other notable alumni include soccer player Giulio Giuricich, cricketers Dominic Hendricks and Pumelela Matshikwe, and EFF MP Vuyani Pambo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These subjects include Engineering Graphics and Design, Information Technology (IT), Life Sciences, Italian, Mathematics, Mathematics Literacy, and Visual Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis range of subjects is indicative of the diversity of subjects that the boys have the opportunity to take and excel in,\u201d Thiel said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe thank and congratulate our teachers and extended staff who have worked tirelessly to help these young men reach their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
