PUBLIC PROFILE
Who are we?
- The school was founded on 1 August 1898 in a house in Plein Street by an Irish priest, Reverend John Darragh, the rector of St Mary’s Church (now Cathedral). Johannesburg was then 12 years old, and the tiny school boasted two desks and seven pupils. St John’s College was founded in 1898, only twelve years after the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand. Today it is counted as one of South Africa’s pre-eminent schools, with a reputation for excellence that extends well beyond the borders of South Africa.
