Star of the Sea School is uniquely situated along a beautiful stretch of False Bay coastline in St. James, Cape Town, South Africa. It is a school with a long history, its buildings having been completed in 1908. It is a Cabra Dominican School, and there were five Sisters and ten pupils when the school first opened on 24 January 1908. By the end of its first term it had grown to twenty pupils, and it has continued to prosper and grow over the years.

Star of the Sea is a sound, well-run, caring school, catering to a very broad community – a microcosm of the population of South Africa. Built on rock, steady as a rock, it should prosper and grow well into the future.

Quarterly reminders

• Uniform:  Summer school uniform. 
• Road safety – Please ensure that the children cross at the pedestrian lights at all times. They must listen to the person and always cross in front of them. Greeting and saying THANK YOU is the Star way.
• Homework books must be checked every day. Please ensure that you check the homework before signing the book. Make a point of asking them about it. 
• Late-comers. LATE-COMERS DISRUPT OUR SCHOOL DAY. It unsettles the class and your child who is late. Late-comers miss Mathematics and/or English lessons as we teach this in the morning. Be on time!
• Assessments
  Assessments are planned throughout the term. Please check your child’s message book for the dates and ask them about the test. We appreciate your support in helping your child do the best they can, by helping them to prepare for their assessments, ensuring they get enough sleep and that they eat a healthy breakfast before coming to school.
