Christian Brothers' College Boksburg

What Christian Brothers' College Boksburg does

Christian Brothers' College Boksburg (CBC Boksburg) is an independent Catholic boys' school operating from a single campus on Konig Road in Boksburg, Gauteng, South Africa, founded in 1935 by the Christian Brothers and now part of the global Edmund Rice schools network spanning 20 countries. The school delivers continuous education from Grade 000 (age 4) through Matriculation (Grade 12), organized into Junior Primary (Grades 000-3), Senior Primary (Grades 4-7), and High School (Grades 8-12), with matriculation written through the Independent Examination Board (IEB). Core academic delivery is supported by the ADAM school management platform (separate login portals for staff, learners and parents) plus Google Classroom, while a dedicated sports website (sports.cbc.org.za) manages fixtures and results across ten sporting disciplines. Holistic development is delivered through a House System, Tutor Groups, the Edmund Rice Society, in-house remedial/occupational/speech therapy, and a broad cultural and sports programme.

The school's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer within the East Rand catchment: families apply through the school's admissions process (including an entrance examination), with engagement driven by school tours, an annual Open Day, and direct enquiries via [email protected] and +27 11 917 9518. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition and school fees (2026 fee structure referenced, with sibling discounts), supplemented by recurring monthly aftercare fees (R620 base, R500 for optional meals across Grades 000-7) and gym memberships available to parents, old boys and community friends. Academic scholarships for Grade 8 entry and sports scholarships for Grades 7-10 (cricket, rugby, hockey, basketball) serve as a talent-acquisition layer rather than a material revenue stream. Management comprises Headmaster Mr Toby Craig, Junior & Senior Primary Principal Mr K. Pillay, Acting High School Principal Mrs G. Bernhardt, and Deputy Headmaster Mr Asani Phiri. Affiliations include ISASA, IEB, Catholic Education, and the Edmund Rice network, alongside minor partnerships with Toyota Boksburg, Hot 102.7 FM / Hot Cares (bursary), and Sports4Hope (Pre-Grade sports).
