A message from WATERFALL
t’s astounding to see how much Waterfall has grown since it was first conceptualised in I1996. Today our 10 residential developments are home to 12 000 people while 26 000 individuals work here every day. What is not evident is the complex technology that supports our operations. When Waterfall began, no technology existed locally to manage such a development. However, a global search eventually brought us back home to REDi that had the capacity and expertise to develop a bespoke citywide platform for Waterfall and who is still our partner today.

Within the academic curriculum, inclusion and embracing diversity has been essential in all the schools and is taught consciously. An awareness of social justice is crucial for preparing young people to become responsible global citizens who will shape and positively contribute to this country in the 21st century. Over the last year, St Peter’s Prep Schools have been explicitly creating a space where conversations around diversity, inclusion, social justice, and the differences between humans can be unpacked in a supported, age-appropriate way and in an emotionally safe environment. In the Girls Prep, the lessons are known as Ubumbano. This name is derived from the isiZulu word meaning unity, a union of interests or purposes, or sympathies among members of a group. It also expresses the moulding of clay. This was chosen to encompass the hope that the girls will be open to change with the ultimate goal of unity. have empathy towards one another.
