St James RC Primary School

🎉🎂 Happy 152nd Birthday, St James R.C. Primary School! 🎂🎉

Today we celebrate 152 years of God's faithfulness, love and abundant blessings. 🙏❤️

Yesterday, we gathered as a school family for a special Feast Day Mass ⛪ to give thanks and praise to God for His unwavering presence throughout our journey. ✝️✨

With grateful hearts, we remember and honour all our former priests, principals, teachers, staff, governors, parents and every role player who helped build the strong foundation on which our school stands today. 💙❤️🤍 We also thank our wonderful community for the invaluable role they have played over the years. 🫶🏽🌍

📖 "God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved." – Psalm 46:5 🙏

Our learners were also treated to a special surprise 🍦🍬🎁, and their smiling faces 😊 made the celebration even more memorable.

Here's to celebrating our rich heritage 📚, our vibrant present 🌟, and a future filled with hope, faith and excellence. 💫

🎉 Happy 152nd Birthday, St James R.C. Primary School! May God continue to bless our school, our learners, our staff and our community for many generations to come. 🙏❤️

Despite the challenge of not having access to a soccer field, we remained committed to our boys and their passion for the game.

Through innovation and teamwork, we took our soccer boys to Kommetjie to train in a safe and positive environment. ⚽💙
