A MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR’S DESK

As we approach the end of term, we look forward to the 2026 Easter Festival. This festival comes on the back of months of preparation by the committee and all involved. The quality and development of our sport will be on show and I am sure that the performance of our teams will not disappoint. We are looking forward to your support this coming Thursday, Saturday and Monday. There will be something for the entire family: a mini market, good food and, most importantly, excellent school sport. A reminder that we are cashless, so please bring your cards.

The last few weeks at St Dunstan’s have been very busy. Rugby 7s, boys’ and girls’ hockey, netball and squash have all enjoyed festivals. We hosted the National Debating League and performed well. Football and equestrian have also enjoyed some good competition.

A number of our swimmers competed in the SA National Youth Championships. Well done to Chloe and Riley for achieving silver and gold medals respectively. In athletics, four of our students participated at national level. Congratulations to Gemma and Chelsea for their medal performances at the CGA track and field event. At SA Rowing, Blake and Luka won gold in the Junior Men’s U14 doubles, while Travis and Emihle won gold in the Junior Men’s U16 doubles. We congratulate them and wish Travis and Emihle all the best as they have been selected for the SASRU team.

A delight for all was the recent achievement of the U14 netball girls, who were placed first at the Roedean Festival. This result and the many successes mentioned above all bode well for the future of our co-curricular programme. We have come a long way in the past few years and look forward to continued development across all our activities. The multipurpose hall and STEM Centre will certainly give us a necessary boost in the right direction in both the academic and co-curricular programme.

Through all this busyness, it is important to take a moment to be mindful, to intentionally focus on the present and to reflect on all that God has provided. I am thankful for His blessing upon our school and I am mindful that true peace and fulfilment lie in His presence with us. As we enter into Holy Week and Easter, may we all experience the peace of God, which transcends all understanding.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you. – 2 Thessalonians 3:16:
