We are pleased to share the full report on our 2025 St John's College Giving Day: The Next Chapter, which took place on 29 and 30 October last year.

On 17 October, St John's College proudly unveiled the Beyond 125 Donor Wall at a glittering event in the Rene England Auditorium. Mr Stuart Stuart West, Executive Headmaster, described the wall as a "rich tapestry serving as a visual testament to the generosity of our incredible community, reminding us that every contribution makes a difference."

This latest edition of the Advancement Newsletter focuses on the first-ever St John’s College Giving Day, held over 36 hours from 9 to 10 November 2023. The results were truly remarkable, showing what can be achieved when a community of passionate supporters comes together with a united vision.

Thanks to you our amazing St John's College community, we managed to raise R7 058 747 on our first-ever Giving Day with nine ‘matching’ funders, 543 donors and 22 teams from 10 different countries!

The 125 Campaign was launched in 2019 with the intention of raising funds to advance the school’s strategic plans. Due to the interruption of Covid, the 125 Campaign had to take a back seat to the many urgent challenges the school faced during that period.

In 2023, the year of the College’s 125th birthday, we are officially relaunching the Beyond 125 Campaign with renewed energy and vision. The Beyond 125 Campaign will pick up where the 125 Campaign left off and continue for the next five years as we work towards our goal of raising R125 million.

St John's College Academy students Zandile Habile and Tshepang Mokoto achieved distinctions in Further Studies Mathematics Standard (formerly AP Maths) in 2022.

The St John’s College Academy Valedictory Service is always a bitter-sweet occasion as we celebrate the achievements of our boys and young men and bade farewell to our Grade 7s and 12s. This year was no different as the Academy students from the Prep and College gathered in the Memorial Chapel with their parents, teachers and friends of the Academy.

St John’s Prep hosted their annual Polar Bear Swim, taking to the icy waters of Long Walk Pool to help raise funds for the completion of the new Aquatics Centre, raising enough money to get Stuart West, Executive Headmaster at St John's College, and Lester Lalla, Preparatory Headmaster into the freezing water.

The Advancement Office at St John's College presents their Trinity Term 2021 newsletter, highlighting key projects and thanking our donors for their unfailing support and commitment.
