St John’s College recently announced its 2025 Sixth Form House Committee. Sean Li will be steering the ship as head of house, while Morongoa Monale will serve as deputy head of house.
St John’s sixth form, situated on the College’s campus, produced exceptional AS and A level results since 1972. AS levels cover the basics of a particular subject, while A levels dive deeper into the more complex course areas.

The sixth form co-ed environment welcomes students from South Africa, Africa, and the world to study their AS and A levels through the Cambridge Assessment International Education Board, leaving them with an internationally accredited qualification that opens doors worldwide.
Sean explained that his role required him to represent what it meant to be a sixth form student, and to ensure his fellow students’ happiness and unity in everything the team did.
“My goal is to allow the amazing people in sixth form the opportunity to shine. I will do this by ensuring leadership opportunities relevant to their talents, assigning truly passionate students to take charge in events like inter-house music and drama, or advocating for growth in any club startup, such as a hip-hop and engineering club. Another goal is to ensure that, despite two years being a relatively short time in our sixth form A level careers, I want all students of sixth form to be fully comfortable in this new and scary environment, to the point where our future reminiscing will be filled with happy memories.”

Morongoa noted that she did not intentionally work towards her current title, but it aligned with her goals of being part of the sixth form.
“I began this year by saying yes to everything that scared me, which included my performances, making friends, talking to strangers, and being myself sincerely in a foreign space. Part of the beauty of sixth form is being able to put yourself outside of your comfort zone.”
She added that what she grew to recognise is that it was easy to do anything when one was among many people who were just as scared about the new environment that they shared.
Morongoa concluded that the advice she would give learners who wanted to be in her position one day was, “many people try to crack the code of what makes a leader a good one, and because of human error, I say ‘good’ and not perfect. What I’ve found is that when you let your good-willed intentions lead you, then you get to remain steady in who you are, and who the person that your community decides to rise to the podium. When you are given this position, you hold an important duty of making sure that your community’s voice is heard through yours, so listen deeply to everyone because everyone wants to be heard and seen.”
