The essence of nostalgia is an awareness that what has been will never be again. - Milton S. Eisenhower

May was a time of nostalgia as the school celebrated the 150th birthday.  From our sports teams in Potchestroom for the All Girls' Festival to the wonder of our many Founders' Week activities; it was been a month that may well be hard to beat. 

What a month April was.  Our involvement in sports programmes and our wonderful week of Literary activities made for a busy, exciting and productive time!

There was inspiration and innovation at the Steam Week events that kicked off March, while our sports and clubs continued to excel.  

While the expression states to beware the Ides of March, there was much to celebrate as March began.  On the sporting and cultural front, there were notable matches and Cinderella rehearsals.  The Standard Bank STEAM week began with fanfare and the academic subjects aligned to STEAM took centre stage! 

As we entered March, we did so with great appreciation for a February of achievement, personal growth and celebrations of our 150th year. We enter March with great excitement about our Standard Bank STEAM Week and our Cinderella production.

There was much love at Collegiate in the month of love as our community outreach 150 Cancer Care bags were handed over, the Cinderella rehearsals continued, the hostel learners were spoilt for Valentine's Day, our Open Days were love in action as our staff and learners dazzled our visitors and our sports team bowled us over, proved to love the water or smashed records in matches. Read about our latest labours of love.

Celebrating 150 years of excellence is exciting and the year began with many milestone moments and achievements. Read about our February Fun and the fantastic news here.

2024 marks 150 years since our founding and we began the term with the 150 photograph and the poignant 150 flag-raising ceremony. Read about the start of the school year here.
