Senior Wind Band Performs at Bellavista Conference 🎵
A huge congratulations to our Senior Wind Band, who performed at the opening of the Bellavista Conference last week.

The band performed an impressive 15 pieces of music, which is a remarkable achievement for a junior school ensemble. Learning and preparing such an extensive programme requires an enormous amount of hard work, commitment and teamwork from the boys.

The band did a fantastic job of setting the tone for what was a wonderful day. Their music was appreciated, with guests at the event impressed by their performance. Very well done, boys!

Soloists’ Music 🎶
The Music Department recently hosted our annual Soloists’ Music Concert, an evening that celebrates the more advanced musicians in the school.

The concert showcased boys performing at a grade three music level or above. This year, 27 boys performed, presenting an impressive variety of instruments, musical styles and repertoire. From classical performances to more contemporary pieces, the concert highlighted both the diversity and the high standard of music-making at the school.

Performing as a soloist takes considerable preparation, concentration and confidence, and the boys should be extremely proud of what they achieved. It was wonderful to see them take to the stage and perform with such maturity.

The evening ended with a special performance from the music staff, who performed two medleys of South African pieces.

Congratulations to all the boys who performed and made this a wonderful celebration of music at our school.

Our Grade R boys stepped into the colourful world of Mr Men today, dressing up as their favourite characters and bringing some of our much-loved stories to life.

There were plenty of giggles, story time, and of course, cosy cups of hot chocolate to make the morning extra special.

A little bit of Mr Happy, Mr Bump, Mr Tickle and friends made for a whole lot of fun!

The NDL Cape Town Debate Awards Ceremony held at Springfield Convent was a wonderful celebration of the boys’ hard work, courage and growth throughout the debating season. It was an opportunity to recognise not only individual achievements, but more importantly the teamwork, preparation, and commitment that make debating such a valuable part of our Cultural programme. We were particularly proud to celebrate the boys who have developed in confidence and learned to listen, think critically and express their ideas with conviction. Well done to all our competitive debaters of 2026.
