Monument claimed the Noordvaal Cup with an emphatic win over Waterkloof, while SACS, Rondebosch and Strand also impressed on the final weekend of the schools season.
Monument put in a commanding performance, running in eight tries to beat Waterkloof 52-22 and claim an 11th Noordvaal Cup title.
Fullback Ray-Nathin Kolver crossed for a hat-trick, while outside centre Blessing Monareng caused havoc in attack and defence to earn the Man of the Match award.
Waterkloof had beaten Garsfontein 27-26 in a tense Tuesday semi-final to reach the final, but could not live with a Monnas side that finished the season in exceptional form.
Meanwhile, Zwartkop beat Nelspruit 41-22 to claim the Plate and Pietersburg beat Marais Viljoen 53-24 to win the Shield.
In Cape Town, SACS ended their season on a high, earning a 44-29 win against Wynberg on the Memorial A Field.
Flyhalf Jake Dave managed the game well in the second half, forcing Wynberg to attack from poor positions, while lock RJ Cunningham earned the Man of the Match award for his work rate and defensive effort throughout.
Elsewhere in the Western Cape, Rondebosch beat Bishops 29-15 to claim a second successive win over their arch-rivals in 2026, Brackenfell beat Tygerberg 26-20 and Strand won 31-7 against Melkbosstrand.
In the Eastern Cape, Pearson beat Brandwag 31-20 and Daniel Pienaar edged Muir 17-13.
