PREP PALS – A FAMILY OF FRIENDS

Through being a Prep Pal each boy has the opportunity to lead confidently, follow helpfully, guide perceptively and care for those around him. The Grade Seven boys of 2018 are to be commended on the mature manner in which they have gone about the task of running their Prep Pal families. The initial meeting allowed the boys to get to know each other in an informal manner. The Grade Seven Leader ensured that each member of the family felt welcome and became a special part of his team. This feeling of teamwork was extended throughout the year with a variety of interactive and fun activities. These included: • Bookmark – The focus was on creating a story of their Prep Pals with each Pal as a main character in the book. • 25 May: Africa Day – The theme for this meeting was Africa. A fun map work activity followed by a drumming exercise developed the groups’ knowledge of Africa. • The BP: Big Picture – This was a time to focus on the small activities we all can do that, when put together, form a communal Big Picture. Groups started the Eco Brick challenge. • At the final meeting the Grade Seven Leader awarded each member of his Prep Pal group a personalised certificate, validating each boy in his family by acknowledging his strengths and interests.

Heartfelt thanks also to Sue Matthysen who ran our Grade R aftercare so efficiently. Goodbyes are never easy and at the end of the year we said farewell to two special members of staff. Tayla Deare, our Green Group teacher assistant, qualified and accepted a Grade One teaching position for 2019. Tayla was with us for two years and although we are going to miss her we know that she is ready to embrace her teaching career. Sharm Malherbe was offered an exciting career move and an opportunity to be in the same school environment as her daughters. She joined the Reception Unit staff three years ago, having worked in the front office at main campus prior to that. Her amazing work ethic, enthusiasm and professionalism are going to be sorely missed by boys, parents and staff alike. We hope that both Sharm and Tayla will keep in touch and forever remain close friends of Prep. The end of the year approached far too soon but we will follow the progress and future achievements of our 2018 boys with great pride. We wish them all an easy and happy transition into Grade One and look forward to welcoming them back as ‘old boys’. Les Phipson Head Teacher

JUNIOR PRIMARY REPORT

To pay tribute to the founders of the JP Department on this Sophunga Visit occasion of our 30th birthday, a special invitation was extended to the staff and boys who were part of that original group in 1988, to attend the Friends’ and Founders’ Social Function. It was an honour to welcome back Gwen Olivier (JP HOD and Class i teacher) and Giselle Waller (nee Meise; Class ii teacher) along with our present JP Music teacher Sally Perks. This opportunity was used to acknowledge them for the wonderful job their team did of starting our JP Department on such a strong and positive note, from which so many people have benefitted over these past 30 years. A special confirmation of this came in the form of the Guest Speaker at the DPHS Speech Day. Lentswe Bhengu entered our JP Department in 1992 and today is a proud Prep Old Boy, Celebrity Chef and TV Personality. While this birthday celebration brought with it the opportunity to acknowledge staff and boys past, it was also the present staff, boys and families who enriched this particular year and in so doing have become a key part of the history. They are an integral part of the life and character of the JP Department, and sincere thanks are extended to each one for creating what will become the wonderful memories in future years and in so doing leaving such a positive legacy.

Carolyn Gilroy HOD: JP Phase Leader

Eli Clarence Treasure Beach

Tushaar Manilall On 14 March we went to Treasure Beach. I’m going to tell you my favourite part which was the whole day. It all started when we got to school. We were getting ready to get on the bus. When we got on Jordan, Michael and I sat next to each other and sang the whole way there. Then we got to Treasure Beach education centre to eat. When we were done we got on the bus and went down to the beach but when we got there we had to climb down

181 steps. Finally we got the beach and my guide’s name was Kyle Howden Linda. She told us we were going on a scavenger hunt. We found a hermit crab, lionfish, tiger fish, a moray eel, parrotfish and many more sea creatures. We learnt about the life cycle of a hermit crab and I won a prize. After that, we had to build a sea creature out of sand. It was then time to go back to school. We had to walk up all the stairs first! We emptied our shoes and got on the bus. This time Michael, Jordan and I slept all the way back to school. We had a great adventure at Treasure Beach. James Whatmore How the clownfish got its name Once upon a time, there was an orange fish. He lived in the shallow waters. He had a friend that was a stonefish. He often was stepped on and he has killed people! Well the story is about how the clown fish got his name. The orange fish had to protect where he lived. There were a lot of predators in the ocean like rays, sharks and eels. There were walls around the waters. Then one day a shark broke the wall and ate a squid. As the shark bit the squid it shot out all its ink. So now the orange fish had black stripes. From that day people called him a clownfish because he looked so silly. Leo Brown

Earning their pen licence was yet another hurdle to overcome. Countries and Cultures Day was sooooooo In the cultural arena the boys were able to audition much fun. I loved it.

Mohammed Mujahid Hansa tour to Gauteng in May and the much-awaited Prep Rugby Festival in June were both firsts for the boys and never to be forgotten. Hockey and Athletics took up most of the 3rd term and, once again, competition was fierce. The eagerly anticipated overnight excursion to Camp El Olam outside Eston exceeded all our expectations. From bow and arrow making to a night walk through the sugarcane fields and an impressive bonbon fire sipping hot chocolate - this was a fitting end to a fast-paced, frenetic and fulfilling year. To my capable colleagues Bev Johnston, Mel Fletcher and Amber Kiddle - thank you for your dedication and commitment to everything Prep. Trish Miloszewski – Grade 4 Section Head

This year 90 ten year old boys embraced the challenges of a very busy Grade 5 year, thus completing a GRADE FIVE successful second year in their senior primary phase. REPORT Many new experiences and opportunities were enthusiastically tackled by the boys. This is the first year of streaming classes – boys who achieve highly in 5 Mathematics and English are placed in an A class. Two equally streamed groups are placed in mixed ability classes. In the latter two classes smaller groups of boys work with Mrs Kiddle in order to consolidate concepts. This affords class teachers smaller groups to work with in order to give more individual attention to learners. This year we welcomed Mr Thatcher to our Grade 5 team. As well as Andrew Boucher being a class teacher he took charge of Natural Science lessons for all three classes. His kind and compassionate approach was appreciated. The highlight of the year was the two nights spent at Camp Sweetdale on the South Coast. Boys enjoyed the camaraderie of bonding with their peers and rose to challenges outside the comfort of their classroom. Tasks required boys to use their creativity and to work together as a team in order to solve problems. Team-building and bonding were key during at this camp. The annual Ancient Civilization Day was once again another important experience. Boys dressed up as they would have done in their particular civilization. During the second term many of the Social Science lessons were spent researching. Boys enjoyed presenting these findings in the form of a formal oral presentation and a poster. This section culminated in boys teaching their peers about their daily lifestyle from many years ago. hail A day excursion was enjoyed by all to the Beachwood Mangroves. Boys learnt about Durban’s very special and unique eco-system. I heard crashing on our roof, Coaxing the crabs out of their holes and feeding them was an exciting Massive balls of ice engulfed the land, experience.

Boys enjoyed the opportunity to deliver creative pieces to an external adjudicator during the Speech and Drama Festival. The confidence shown during this festival was reflected in the large number of boys achieving Gold Certificates. Opportunities to shine on the stage were also showcased during class assemblies: 5 Laatz enlightened the school about the Winter Olympics, 5 Thatcher the Soccer World Cup and 5 Huber presented the 10 000 hours required to master the skill of learning - in order to create awareness for learners preparing for their final assessments of the year.

Class Novel: The Elephant Whisperer The Elephant Whisperer was one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life. I would give this book a five star rating and would recommend this book to people who care about wildlife. I learnt to never give up from baby Thula and when it seems like my sisters are annoying me, it’s just them trying to help me. My favourite part about the book is when Lawrence Anthony introduced his grandson to Nana and the herd. Jack Guye The Elephant Whisperer is an absolutely amazing book. It has taught me so much, not only about elephants, but also how to look at life optimistically. It has completely changed Ancient Civilizations Day my perspective of wildlife conservation in my There was a buzz in the air as Miss Laatz boomed country, I now know that elephants are such over the microphone asking everyone to take diverse amazing creatures, no matter how their seats. The first oral presentation was big or small. Thank you Lawrence Anthony! done by Direshen Anamalay. What an amazing Jackson Jeffers presentation- 10/10! Following that was Wasim Mulla- Another 10/10! It was then prototype time. My personal favourite was the Viking longboat. So, if you’re in Grade 4 reading this - hope for the Vikings next year, and enjoy Ancient Civilization Day. After the activity, we had more presentations. Everyone enjoyed this fantastic day. The outfits were outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and think it was very well done. Ryan Spooner

Elephants and rhinos are dying out. My huge question to the world is, ‘Will poaching ever stop?’ Muzakkir Khan Lawrence Anthony taught me that if you think you can do it, you can. The book inspired me to be something in life, like help in wildlife or in the human race. Tristan Smith Elephants have become my favourite animals and I will be looking out for them when I go on my trip to Bayete. I encourage everybody to read this book. Josh Fouche

It was the day after finals. I was greeted with a damp sensation under my feet. My old clothes were scattered everywhere, like the sparks A Cold, of fireworks in the sky. My unkept linen and dirty carpet was the factor to finally wake me, as the stench reached Damp Tomb my nose. I was at home. School was over, and as I heaved myself off my bed and moped into the kitchen, I remembered it. It was the 21 st! It was the day we were going on our diving trip. With a new spring in my step, I strutted over to my phone and clasped it to my ear like it was ice to sooth a graze. I punched in the 10 digits, before an equally excited voice came humming through. It was one of my classmates that would be joining me on this diving experience. We chatted merrily before organising where I would be fetched. It was no less than two hours later, that the two of us were driving along the highway in a tomato-red rollerskate that he called a car. The hills were like the waves of a lazy ocean, rising and falling. We ventured on for a further few hours but it felt twice as much with excitement and anticipation gnawing away at us. We finally arrived at the rental office, where a severe and underwhelming clerk handed us our equipment, along with a white toothy smile. We trotted over to the change rooms and slid on our fish-suits and were in the cold water with one dive. I soon regretted this, remembering we were experiencing a cold front. I had memorised a map of the reef we would be exploring and immediately decided on the Eastern Ledge. I took one last glimpse of the world I was leaving behind and plunged into the cruel, icy water. I swam deeper and deeper; the rocks and ledges like gargoyles calling out to be explored. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a crack in the reef. It was around the size of a window and I went in closer to inspect. It was like a rope, luring me in, screaming and pleading to be searched. I slipped into the crack; the rocks were like a giant noose around my body, squeezing and pushing. That’s when I noticed it. It was gold, ivory, bone sculptures. Immediately my exam learning had been put to good use; these were ancient San artifacts. I floated there, stalking it like a lion, slowly drawing nearer. I had to leave it in place. If I took it, it would make me very rich, it would. These were placed here as a gift to the spirits to prevent war or harm to their tribe. This decision tore me in half but I knew that this was truly meant to be here. I exited the cave and the meter on my tank gave out a wheeze of bubbles. “What did you see?” my friend asked. “I have seen a hundred wars, a hundred fallen kingdoms and true beauty all in one little stone cave,” I replied, and strolled off to the changerooms.

SMASH! I jolted up from my bed, the after- sound of the bang still ringing in my ears and the inexorable thumping of my heart, like a gorilla beating its chest. CRASH! Now I was soaring through the sky. Maybe this was it? Maybe I was rising up to heaven? SPLASH! The bone-rattling cold of the ice- piercing water. The sounds of scream and fright and a lonely caller of my name … I woke up dazed and confused. I looked around. Sand? Palm trees? Is this heaven? Am I alive? I pinched my skin. Yes, I’ve survived! I’ve got to survive, and that’s what I did. I made a shelter out of the palm tree leaves. I picked the most beautiful, mouth- tendering red fruit and I swam in the cool, clear water to defeat the hot day. Finally I sat down and made a bed in the sand. I could feel the first rays of sleep coming in … ‘I can do it’ I said to myself. ‘I can Greystone Excursion survive’ … ‘Hawooooo…, hawoooo…’ For the second time that week I was woken by a sound. It was a few days later and I had got used to the animal sounds but nothing was as menacing as this. Half of me said I was going to die; but my adventurous side took over. In the cool of the night, I crept slowly but surely to the foot of the hill. The ground up the hill was sloshy and wet, making each step more agonising than the last. I let out a cry, hopeless and helpless, but I told myself to keep going. At last I got to the top, breathing heavily, looking around … ‘ROOOOAAAR!’ I turned around and saw the end of all ends, the destiny of all destinies, my destiny, my end: A twelve-foot, half gorilla, half dino-looking monster, with four rows of teeth, and leather-striped skin. People say you can never escape fate. I may have escaped it once on my ship, but I’m certainly not going to do it again. Jake Savage

Seven years of greatness Has come to a sudden halt. I walk out through the gates Leaving Shocked, not knowing what to expect. I am leaving a long-beloved school behind New adventures, new opportunities and Memories I will forever adore friends to fill my future Friends I will never ignore Adrenalin pumped for the next season’s start. Oh! How I fear the day I leave the front door Will I cherish moments as before Or moments like never before? I know these corridors like the back of my hand I get tears to my eyes when I think of leaving this all behind But whatever happens next Prep has taught me the sky is the limit I will never forget my time at Prep If there is a mountain you can bet a Prep boy can climb it Friends and staff will forever Be buried deep in my heart. I am moving to new possibilities I leave this school, full of emotions Every day I will face new facilities From happy to sad, I will make a new name for myself at my new school For all the emotions Being a Prep boy was awesome and cool. Describe my unforgettable Prep career. Ben Aylward Zachariah Howell

A Prep Boy What is it like being a Prep boy? Let me tell you, it’s way more than your average school. One hundred and eight years of tradition, loyalty, and excellence have made it what it is today. DPHS boys strive to be the best, and achieve in all that we do. Over the last 8 years I have discovered great friends, awesome teachers, and an amazing education at a wonderful school. ‘From small beginnings, better fortune follows’ – Prep has definitely prepared us for life. There is always the question: ‘What separates DPHS from other schools?’ Well, when we leave DPHS, we don’t leave as friends, we leave as brothers. Luca Coetzer

A Prep boy never gives up in academics, sports, culture and all his extra-murals. He is kind, caring, neat and tidy with ‘No mop on top!’ It all starts off with manners; A warm welcome to all visitors, family, and friends. Then it’s our uniform with our blazer and badge. During, or after, school, you wear the uniform with pride. A Prep boy shows courage and sportsmanship in all that he does. When you are unhappy, or down, it will be a Prep boy who will lend his kind heart to you, and lift you up. Reece Truter A Prep boy is well mannered on and off the field. He never gives up. He strives to achieve his goal and he perseveres every step of the way. There is no obstacle too big for a Prep boy to overcome. He is confident and is willing to help others no matter what it takes. He is honest and takes pride in what he does. He is loyal to his school and never gives the school a bad reputation. He is a good leader, guiding and inspiring younger children to be good leaders too. He is self- disciplined and has respect for himself and others. A Prep boy is fair to everyone and does not hurt anyone, physically or emotionally. A Prep boy is a mentor to those around him. He takes care of his school and environment. You can knock a Prep boy down but you can never knock him out. Ahmed Limalia

My Proudest Moment ‘On the blocks please... take your marks... BEEP’ I felt a sudden rush of mixed emotions as my fingertips hit the water. It felt like I was underwater for ages, but I had promised myself that I was going to mimic the actions of the two people next to me, Michael Phelps James Burns and Chad le Clos. As soon as I surfaced I resisted the urge to breathe. As a matter of fact I did so for a while Armaan Manilall and surprised myself that for the whole 50M length I had not taken one breath. When I turned I got my first glimpse of the crowd, shouting and screaming as usual. On the last length it felt like a match was being lit in my Jehiel Timothy chest, then that match became a fire and soon a blazing inferno. I took a breath, feeling the relief of oxygen entering my system. My hands hit the wall and faster than a jack-in-the-box my head sprang up to see the board. I blinked and then screamed and hit the water. First place. I had not just come first but I had broken the world record. It felt like an eternity until I got up on that podium but it lasted even longer, my medal clinging around my neck as I saluted to my national anthem – Armaan Manilall the proudest moment of my life.

As we have come to know, boys just want to be boys, so any opportunity to play a game was met with great joy. The real challenge came in trying to get the concept of ‘moving into spaces’ as a habit with the boys. It was pleasing to see their progress and development over the term. We enjoyed some good encounters with our opposition and managed to record a healthy win record. Hopefully our work in the U9 age group has laid a good foundation for their hockey as they move up through the age groups at Prep.

The 12th edition of the annual Cape Town rugby tour was as good as ever. The experience has grown each year since this tour started in 2006. It is a special privilege for the DPHS boys to be able to tour as such a big group. The 2018 version of the tour was a success from every perspective. The quality of rugby produced by all the DPHS teams was a joy to watch. Our hosting friends at Wynberg, Bishops and SACS were once again full of the warm hospitality that we have come to enjoy from them over the years. At the conclusion of the tour, a presentation was made to PhotoNote as a token of the appreciation for all that has been contributed to DPHS and the schools that are able to enjoy events such as the Cape Town tour and the DPHS festival.

MINI-RUGBY Mini-Rugby sessions were thoroughly enjoyed by the enthusiastic Grade One and Grade Two boys. Boys got to learn about their much- loved game of rugby. Practices were held on either a Friday evening under the floodlights or on a Saturday morning. Each session began with the coaches being briefed on the skills that were to be taught that week which were then implemented during the game. Once the coaches had been briefed they would join the boys on the field and a short warm-up would mark the beginning of the practice. They would then have a skills session and thereafter the boys would play games against other teams within their grades. There is much excitement as the boys do their best to learn the games and then have fun. Boys acquired basic rugby skills. Each team has a set of Dads who coach the boys. A big thank you to all the dads who gave up their time and put in so much effort as coaches at every session. We are really grateful to you. Thank you, dads. Shahnaz Vawda & Sandra May
