Maru-a-Pula School

A busy week awaits at Maru-a-Pula!

From sporting fixtures and parent consultations to debates, committee meetings and an engaging online talk on how AI is reshaping the job market, there is plenty happening across our community this week.

Take a look at what's on from 1–6 June and join us as we continue to learn, relate and grow.

Our Term 2 Blood Donation Drive reached its target of 50 donors on 28 May.

Organised by our Medical Corps Service in partnership with the National Blood Transfusion Service, the day reflected the power of community and service.

A heartfelt thank you to all staff, students, parents and Thornhill teachers who donated. Your contribution will make a real difference in saving lives.

We look forward to seeing even more donors at the next drive in late September.

What does it mean to serve when there is no promise of recognition or reward?

Join us for the next edition of MaP Talks: Service Without Reward, a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring leadership, sacrifice, purpose, and the quiet dedication that shapes communities and institutions.

Hosted by Maru-a-Pula School, MaP Talks continues to create space for meaningful conversations on issues of national and international importance through the voices and experiences of distinguished professionals and alumni.
