He was a thinker, a prober, an experimenter, an initiator, interested in the big things in education and paying little homage to the trifling minutiae of daily school life; one to whom every school day was a challenge urging him to see that everyone and everything within the school tended towards the best in education; one who sensed the need for a more articulate leadership and set about inculcating it both inside and outside the schoolroom; one who daily led staff and students ever upwards to the highest ideals in thought and effort.

THE GAME OF UNITY?: THE 2007 CRICKET WORLD CUP AS A CATALYST TOWARD CARIBBEAN IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION by PETA-GAYE J. WIGGAN Under the Direction of Dr. Leonard Teel ABSTRACT It was paramount for the English-speaking Caribbean to host a successful 2007 Cricket World Cup and field an outstanding West Indian cricket team for the international sporting mega-event. For CARICOM and the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), there were two principle goals – first, to exhibit regional Caribbean identity, and second, to be triumphant under the leadership of the West Indian cricket team’s captain, Trinidadian Brian Lara. Identities are multifaceted and intricate, negotiated and renegotiated, based on a history of economic, political and cultural forces. This thesis interrogates Caribbean identity through textual analysis of the broadcast of the opening ceremony and regional newspaper coverage of the spectacle as well as ensuing events that were held in eight of the Caribbean countries from 11 March to 28 April 2007.

  • Weekly Update – 24 October 2009
    Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.183: A Super Weekend! A SUPER WEEKEND in more ways than one: SATURDAY • Our Men’s Prems recovered from 105/6 to head Takapuna’s 236 for 1st innings points and consolidated their position at the top of the Hedley Howarth Trophy Table • Giacomo Lamplough hit 189 for our Men’s Premier Reserves vs North Shore, His innings included 12 sixes and 20 fours. With Keegan Russell (58*) putting on 134, a new Club All Time Lower Grade Record, for the 8th wicket! • Our Premier Women, vs Table Leader Takapuna, scored 216/4 in their 50 overs (Yaz Kareem 83), had North Shore 198/9 only to lose by 1 wicket • Ford Trophy Final at Eden Park: Auckland Aces beat Otago Volts by 2 wickets. Colin Munro hit a 100 but it was our Mark Chapman who, in scoring 84*, nursed the middle and lower order home. More Parnell support from Lockie Ferguson 2/50 (and, sadly, causing Hamish Rutherford to retire hurt) and Ben Horne (catch and stumping, no byes) and 42. SUNDAY • SUPER OVER needed to decide the Jeff Crowe Cup Semi Final: Parnell vs Takapuna and, unlike the Black Caps in all their efforts, Parnell came out the victor. Very much due to the heroic efforts with bat and ball from Ollie Pringle! And not forgetting our ‘keeper, Harry Miller who took 6 catches in Takapuna’s first 20 overs. WONDERFUL TWO DAYS’ CRICKET, FULLER DETAILS OVERLEAF WONDERFUL, TOO, THAT SO MANY PLAYERS AND SUPPORTERS FROM THE PAST CAME TO SHORE ROAD TO SEE SOME QUITE STARTING AND NERVE TINGLING CRICKET.
