St Charles College. There are several elements that set St Charles College apart. One of their favourites is that they are a through school that caters to boys from three years old until they matriculate in Grade 12.
The advantages of mixed-age playing are well documented. Both older and younger children benefit greatly from these encounters. We are privileged to have a range of older boys who pop in to visit and interact with the Scrummies boys on different occasions. Sometimes St Charles College has organised play dates and sometimes the bigger boys just pop in for a quick visit. The younger boys are always way more willing to try new skills. The Scrummies have a chance to copy and learn from their older counterparts. The spin-off for the older “brothers” is that they learn to be patient and caring. They also come to understand the responsibility that they carry as role models for the smallest fellows.
This week the 2023 Prefects from our Upper School popped in for a final early morning play, hot chocolate, and donuts before they knuckle down to write their final exams. They all had an absolute ball and our Scrummies boys loved playing hosts to their awesome big “brothers”. – Mrs Liesl Meter (Head of Pre-Primary).
