Saints Rugby Representation
A special moment for our captain!
Congratulations to Agape Nyawo on his selection to the Sharks U18B rugby team, where he will represent the province later this year.
Agape has led our First XV brilliantly throughout the season with passion, commitment and pride, and we have no doubt that he will represent both his school and province with distinction at the next level.
We are incredibly proud of Agape and look forward to watching his journey continue. – Mr Divan van Wyk (Sports Marketing)
Subject Choices
Choosing subjects can be a difficult and intimidating task for Form 2 and Form 3 boys, as these decisions can influence future career paths. To support our younger students in making more confident and informed choices, the Student Academic Council hosted a series of subject presentations during lunch breaks last week.
The sessions provided valuable insight into the wide range of subjects available and helped boys gain a clearer understanding of what each subject involves. All elective subjects were represented, including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Business Studies, Accountancy, Sport Science, Art and Design, History, Geography, Design and Technology, Music, and Additional Mathematics.
The boys appreciated hearing the honest experiences and advice shared by the Form 5 and Form 6 boys. The presentations encouraged them to think carefully about their strengths, interests, and future goals when considering their subject choices.
A specialย congratulationsย must go to all the presenters for their inspiring presentations, thorough preparation, and the excellent manner in which they handled questions from the audience. Their hard work and enthusiasm played a major role in making the presentations such a success. โ Dr Kate Akerman and Mr Sean Anthony
Prep Football
The St Charles College Prep football teams enjoyed a busy and competitive set of fixtures against their friends from Merchiston earlier this week. Across all age groups, the matches were closely contested, with plenty of exciting moments, determined performances and excellent sportsmanship on display.
Our A teams produced some outstanding football. The U9A side fought hard in an evenly balanced encounter to earn a well-deserved draw, while the U10A team delivered an excellent performance to come away with a strong victory. The U11A match was another tightly contested affair, with both teams showing great commitment and skill in an entertaining draw. The 1st team capped off the week impressively, showing resilience, teamwork and composure throughout the match. The remaining fixtures across the age groups were a mixed bag of results, with wins, draws and losses shared between the two schools.
What stood out most, however, was the effort and attitude shown by the boys, with many games being decided by the finest of margins.
Well done to all our boys who represented St Charles College with pride. Thank you to the coaches, staff and parents for their continued support throughout the week. โ Mr Matthew Coombes (Head of Prep Sport)
