Resilient –
‘to endure life’s challenges and be emotionally aware’

Extra-curricular activities

Extra-curricular activities throughout the year enable our pupils to socialise, develop a sense of team camaraderie and responsibility.

Music

St George’s Cathedral Choir is well known in Cape Town and abroad. Every child has the opportunity of joining this choir at a young age. The Prep School also has a junior and a senior Choir. Singing, theory and music appreciation lessons are part of the Music curriculum in the Prep school and there is the opportunity to join the Marimba band or the  wind ensemble and the beginnings of an orchestra.  

The Arts
