On this will the spirit survive,
that we are building each
days of our lives.

Striving to retain visions,
searching for elusive goals.

Never losing hope for progress,
ever seeking strength of soul.

Vision

.

Our Motto: “Nisi Dominus”.

At it's establishment , 'Nisi Dominus' was adopted as the school motto. The motto is a summarization of the Latin translation of Psalms 27 'nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant eam nisi Dominus custodierit civitatem frustra vigilavit qui custodit'.

Meaning 'unless the Lord build the house, they work in a useless thing who build it; unless the Lord guards the community, he keeps watch in vain who guards it'.

Launch of Portuguese as second language in Swaziland.

St. Marks Primary School is honoured to be chosen as the first Government school to offer Portuguese as a second language in the Kingdom. As a regional language, origins in Mozambique and Angola, it is relevant to offer this as an optional second language here.
The School is grateful to the Ministry of Education, the Portuguese Consul and his Government for supplying a teacher from Portugal for pioneering this launch.

See photo of the official launch backed by the Ministry officials, the Consul, the teacher from Portugal, and the Head and Deputy Head.


Back in August 1960, St. Mark’s Fete (to honor with celebration, an outdoor entertainment with stalls and sideshows) took place at the school. It was for raising funds for a new school swimming pool. Looking around the school now, one realizes that humanity is much the same from one generation to another and there are still those today prepared to give their time and energy for the welfare of the school.
