From Nursery to Form III: Be Spirited

Posted: 16th March 2018

A day to discover prayer.

Thursday 15th March saw our annual Be Spirited Day.  From the Nursery to Form III, each class visited the Chapter Room and Chapel for quiet, contemplation and spiritual exercises.

   

There were a variety of exercises on offer, including the opportunity to make a one decade rosary, a board to place Hopes and Dreams, a board to put a prayer for People that we Miss, making a Thankful Playdough Prayer, blowing a bubble and praying for someone, joining words together to make a prayer and making paper chain prayers for the world.

 

 

This was a day which gave the pupils a period of respite and enabled each one to discover the world of spirituality and prayer.  As Mrs van der Merwe, Form Teacher Lower I, said, ‘It was wonderful to see so much joy’.

Strengthening Our Community: The Return of Boys to our Preps and Pre-Preps

We are excited to share that, from September 2026, boys will begin moving up from our Nursery into Reception, marking the gradual reintroduction of boys into our Prep and Pre-Prep School.

This step reflects growing interest from families who value our strong holistic ethos and unique grounds and setting and would like their sons and daughters to share their educational journey together.

At St Augustine’s, our strong sense of community, academic excellence, and deep care for each individual child remain at the heart of everything we do. This is a natural evolution of our school rather than a change to who we are, building on our strengths and allowing us to offer the same joyful, inspiring education to even more children.
