St Martin’s is proud to announce the High School Prefect Body for 2025 / 2026 – a remarkable group of young leaders chosen to serve, inspire, and uphold the values that define our school. The announcement ceremony was a moment filled with pride, reflection, and joy as each portfolio was revealed and symbols of leadership were handed over, representing faith, unity, and the spirit of service that continue to shape St Martin’s School.

At the heart of this new leadership team is Tshepang-Tumelo, the Head of School, who received the School Flag as a sign of trust and continuity. The flag represents the unity and identity of St Martin’s a community rooted in tradition, yet forward-looking in purpose. It serves as a reminder to lead with courage, humility, and pride in all that we do. Alongside her, Thari, the Deputy Head Girl and Head of Chapel, accepted the Crucifix, a symbol of faith, compassion, and service. The handover reminded us that true leadership begins in serving others, following the example of Christ with humility and love.
