On the 12th of June 2025, we proudly hosted our Handover Ceremony, an occasion filled with pride, unity, and celebration—as we honoured the outstanding achievements of our U19 and U13 boys’ and girls’ teams in the Kay Motsepe Championship. 🏆⚽

This milestone not only marks victory on the field but also reflects the dedication, discipline, and resilience shown by our learners, coaches, and support staff throughout the journey from circuit level competitions right through to the National stage. We were honoured to host Dioka Motsepe from the Motsepe Foundation during his site visit at our school. The visit inspired our learners and highlighted the importance of education, leadership, and community upliftment.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Sanlam, the Department of Basic Education, SAFA, Ehlanzeni Football, and the members of the ESO for their invaluable support, guidance, and commitment. Your contribution played a vital role in ensuring the success and smooth running of all matches, creating opportunities for our learners to shine and compete at the highest level.

To our players—you have made us proud. To our stakeholders—thank you for believing in the power of school sport. Together, we continue to nurture talent, build character, and inspire the next generation of champions.

🌸 St. Marks International School: Empowering Our Girls! 🌸
We are calling on all School Staff, Learners, and Parents to stand behind our very own Lethuxolo Mathebula, a Miss Mpumalanga Finalist 2026/27, as she leads a vital mission for the young women of our province.

The Mission: The Sanitary Pad Campaign
Period poverty should never stand in the way of an education. Lethuxolo is championing a campaign to provide essential support for girl children across Mpumalanga. When we ensure our girls have what they need, we ensure they can focus on their dreams.

How You Can Support
We are collecting donations of Ntombazane Maxi Sanitary Pads (and other high-quality sanitary products) to help Lethuxolo reach her goal.

What: Sanitary Pad Donations

Where: Drop-off points located at [Insert Specific Location, e.g., School Reception]

Target: Let's see how many packs the St. Marks family can gather!

"Stay Fresh. Stay Fearless. Because when a girl is confident in her body, she is powerful in her dreams."

Let’s show the heart of St. Marks and help Lethuxolo make a lasting impact on our community. Walk Tall, support the cause!
