The unveiling of Mandisa is symbolic of a powerful journey of transformation for our beloved school. Our community has worked together to ensure that we are more intentional and effective in creating a St Anne’s which is embracing, nurturing and relevant by focusing on building an authentic sense of belonging for staff, pupils and parents. The Mandisa Statue, which was made possible by a generous donation, honours the first Black African girl who began her journey in Grade 8 in 1981 and who went on to matriculate in 1985. The Mandisa Bursary Fund has been established to financially assist girls from the local Midlands community, who fulfil the criteria for enrolment and would ordinarily not be able to take up the opportunity, due to financial constraints. It will allow deserving students to benefit from the holistic education that St Anne’s has to offer and ultimately change many lives.
