St Charles College. The highlight of the St Charles College calendar has always been their annual Speech Night. As with each year, the Samukele Khumalo Arena was also completely transformed into a beautiful venue. It was fit for an evening celebrating all that the St Charles College community, and in particular the boys, have achieved over the past year.

The Matric Class of 2022 also took pride of place in front of the stage. They were also surrounded by the Saints community, savouring their final formal function in their schooling careers. One of the highlights of the evening was the speech given by 2022 Head Boy, Mark Nagel. Seeing the College through the eyes of the Head Boy is an insightful experience. It is also wonderful to hear of the memories he will cherish of his years at St Charles College.

The announcement of the 2023 prefect body was one of the most anticipated items on the programme. Congratulations to all those who were selected to be Prefects and Council Leaders. The top five were also selected to represent the College as Head Boy and Deputies. They are Luke Hubble (Head Boy), Kgaogelo Mashiloane, Matthew Urquhart, Malachi Prigge and Nikhil Gongal. The evening concluded with a rousing rendition of the College’s school song that could be heard well beyond the walls of the Indoor Centre.
