Holy Family College Final Mass and Matric Prize-giving

Holy Family College Durban staff and Matric learners, together with parents/guardians, attended the Class of 2023 Final Mass in the school Chapel, celebrated by the school’s Chaplain, Father Callistus Khathali OMI.

This special occasion was followed by the Matric Prizegiving in the school hall. The guest of honour, the accomplished and former Holy Family College learner, Miss Olivia Chetty, graced the occasion with her words of wisdom and encouragement, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all present. Nomvuso Ndlovu was named the 2023 School Dux.   Dedication and hard work have truly paid off.

The torch was then passed to the next generation of leaders, as the Prefects for 2024 were officially announced. The ringing of the bell by the departing Matrics followed. This symbolic act marked the end of a significant chapter in their lives, and the beginning of a new and exciting journey.
