St Mary’s School has exceptional facilities which encompass academic, cultural, sports and spiritual aspects of the School.

Outdoor campus

St Mary’s is privileged to have a share in Kloofwaters, an outdoor campus in the Magaliesburg Mountains, with our brother school, St John’s College.

This facility provides superb opportunities for learning beyond the classroom. Kloofwaters is an outdoor centre set in a beautiful, tranquil wilderness area, 100 km from Johannesburg or Pretoria. The 300 hectare property includes small game, spectacular rock formations and kloofs, wonderful bird-life and interesting Tswana Iron-Age ruins. A clear mountain stream flows through the lower part of the property, with pools for swimming and sliding, and four small dams.

Grades 4 to 7 spend time at Kloofwaters each year, following the age-specific programmes designed by experienced camp counsellors. They are exposed to hiking, bird-watching, climbing and exploring which extends their experiential learning. In addition to the wide-ranging activities offered, girls are provided with the opportunity to interact with others and demonstrate their versatility and leadership skills.
