St Martin’s School celebrated a truly momentous occasion that embodies our unwavering commitment to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for our students. Under the guidance of Bishop Sobantwana, our school community came together to dedicate the new boys' boarding house and rededicate the existing girls' house, both of which stand as symbols of growth, opportunity, and belonging.

More Than Just Buildings

These boarding houses are far more than structures of bricks and mortar. They are vibrant homes where students will forge lifelong friendships, develop resilience, and chase their dreams. At St Martin’s, we believe that a supportive community is key to fostering growth, and our boarding facilities are designed to embody the values of community, respect, and kindness.

A Ceremony of Dedication and Hope

The dedication ceremony was a heartfelt moment for all in attendance. Bishop Sobantwana reminded us of our shared responsibility to infuse these houses with love and purpose. As a school, we are committed to creating an environment where our students not only excel academically but also flourish emotionally and spiritually.

Introducing the Heart of Our Boarding Houses: The House Mothers

A highlight of the event was the commissioning of the boarding house Mothers, who are set to play a pivotal role in shaping the culture and atmosphere of these homes. More than just caregivers, these House Mothers will be the heart and soul of our boarding community, offering students the guidance, encouragement, and support they need to thrive. Their dedication ensures that every child feels valued, safe, and inspired to grow into their fullest potential.
