Providing top-quality education to boys from Form 2 to Form 6, we draw on our long and proud tradition, as well as our dynamic and forward-thinking ethos.
The Michaelmas Cricket Week, South Africa’s oldest and, arguably, most prestigious school cricket festival, will once again be hosted by Maritzburg College from 20 to 23 September 2024, for the 64th year.
Mr Jonathan Oppenheimer began his formal association with the Michaelmas Cricket Week in 2004, when he became the sponsor and is the single, longest sponsor of the week in its 64 year history.
We are especially proud of the list of past schoolboys who have gone to play on the bigger stage, be it at Provincial, Franchise or International level.
However, the four days are not only about cricket, but also about renewing friendships. There is a genuine camaraderie amongst both the boys and the coaches and it is wonderful to watch how they share in each other’s cricketing journeys.
This year will see 24 school participate in the event, with matches being played at 10 venues, two of which are at Maritzburg College.
