Societies

Although Societies fall under the umbrella of the Cultural portfolio of the school, their areas of operation extend into many areas of school life in addition to that of culture.

Hiking, surfing and sailing are offered in addition to the official school sports, with cycling (both racing and mountain biking), also gaining in popularity as more and boys enter the Argus Cycle Tour.

For those seeking more intellectual stimulation, there is The Cavendish – an informal group open to anyone who has a curious mind and wants to broaden his knowledge. There is a similar offering available to the Top 10 academics (Grades 11 and 12), plus debating for boys wanting to hone their verbal skills and learn to think on their feet. The Gaming Society is popular with the computer geeks, whilst the creative migrate towards the Art, Photographic or dramatic clubs. A fledgling Reading Club has also been started.

The spiritual interests of students are catered for by the Capstone and Muslim societies, whilst those wanting to learn more about indigenous cultures are welcome to join the African Society.

In essence, societies and clubs are encouraged at Wynberg; anyone can start a club, providing there is sufficient interest and manpower to drive it. We want our boys to have wide-ranging interests and a passion for learning new things.
