The 125 Campaign was launched in 2019 with the intention of raising funds to advance the school’s strategic plans. Due to the interruption of COVID, the 125 Campaign had to take a back seat to the many urgent challenges the school faced during that period.
In 2023, the year of the College’s 125th birthday, we are officially relaunching the Beyond 125 Campaign with renewed energy and vision. The Beyond 125 Campaign will pick up where the 125 Campaign left off, and continue for the next 5 years as we work towards our goal of raising R125 million.
Led by ‘125 Ambassadors’, the 125 Sustainability Campaign will ensure this leading Anglican school can fund the capital projects and endowments required to improve its status in its regional and international context. It is imperative St John’s College continuously evolves to remain distinguished, relevant, and sustainable.
The priorities and objectives of St John’s remain the same – to be a world-class Christian African School for generations to come. To achieve this we need to look after and continually improve the school itself: the physical structures, facilities, and beautiful buildings that give the College its body; and ensure that we make this a place where all who enter can fulfill their potential, regardless of their financial means, for it is the people – the students, staff, parents, and all who walk its corridors – who give the College its soul.
