Hotel Accommodation for the IBSC Southern Africa Conference 2025
Join the 2025 IBSC Southern Africa Regional Conference to examine three pivotal elements of boys’ education: nurture, protect, and lead. Delve into actionable strategies for cultivating nurturing environments where boys can thrive, explore methodologies for safeguarding their mental and emotional well-being, and uncover effective practices to instill leadership qualities that empower boys to take confident ownership of their lives.
Central to the conference is the profound IsiZulu proverb, “Inkunzi isematholeni”—”The future bull is among the calves.” This saying underscores the imperative of identifying and nurturing leadership potential in boys. Just as a calf has the promise of growing into a strong and influential bull, so do our boys hold within them the capability to become impactful leaders in their communities and beyond.
The International Boys’ Schools Coalition (IBSC), in its capacity as a leader in boys’ education, is committed to fostering this potential. By drawing on the wisdom of “Inkunzi isematholeni”, the IBSC affirms its dedication to the critical task of developing boys into the leaders of tomorrow. This conference provides an unparalleled platform for educators and leaders to exchange insights, share best practices, and explore innovative approaches to boys’ education.
