  • Old Boys' Association Newsletter
    Old Boys’ Association Newsletter October 2017 THE PRESIDENT 2017—18 Martin Blake Martin attended Belfast Royal Academy from 1960 to 1967. In his early years he found himself in a geography class taught by the Headmaster, J.W. Darbyshire, who took a dim view of his choice of map colours. Neither was aware that colour blindness rather than carelessness was the cause and so school reports provided painful reading. Fate then played a hand because, as he was young, Martin was permitted to play a second season for the Medallion Shield team. The 1965 team, of which he was captain, became the first Academy team to win a rugby trophy outright. From that moment on, an indul- gent light shone over Master Blake’s head from the Head’s office in the Crombie Building. In 1966 he was awarded the Cricket Bat and the prize for English literature. The following year he was appointed Head Boy and played rugby for Ulster Schools and cricket for Ulster and Irish Schools. After reading law at The Queen’s University, Martin was called to the Northern Ireland Bar and combined a thriving practice with rugby for the Academy Club and cricket for Woodva- le. In 1977 he found romance on the Academy Club tour to Canada and within a few years departed for San Francisco. He became an attorney at law and began legal practice in San Francisco, specializing in civil trial work. He joined The Irish Forum, an American organi- zation dedicated to the peaceful resolution of The Troubles and actively promoted debates among those with whose views he regularly disagreed.

[In most of our policies there is a section explaining further procedures specific to the Boarding Department]. 3 CCB BOARDING DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK Mr R M Robinson, MBE HEADMASTER WELCOME FROM THE HEADMASTER Welcome to Campbell College, Belfast ‘Education is what survives when what has been learnt is forgotten,’ wrote B.F.Skinner. After all the chemical equations and dates of battles have been forgotten, the memories become fragmented into a series of moments – late-night conversations, the first reading of a particular book, or returning mud-drenched from a rugby match. The combination of these formative moments combine to make what we call an education; and, it is the case that boarders at Campbell have more to remember. Boarding has always been central to the life of the College. Boarding requires a student to take responsibility for their own life and to get on with a community of other people. It also provides them with a secure base and a focus of loyalty in a large school, as well as an opportunity for exercising responsibility and leadership in a community.

  • II. Further Extensions and a Schools' Cup Win 1961-196937
    II. Further Extensions and a Schools’ Cup Win 1961-196937 THE CONTINUING GROWTH OF B.G.S. At a Special Meeting of the Board of Governors in June 1961, following Sam Claney’s retirement, Norman Handforth was elected Chairman of the Board. In anticipation of a further extension, it was also decided to set up three sub-committees for Finance, School and Buildings. Since Mr.Clarke’s appointment in 1954, when there had been 376 pupils in the secondary department, the School population had grown rapidly. Part of the explanation was that, in 1954 almost 30% had left school after Junior Certificate and there had been only a handful of pupils in Upper VI, whereas very few now left after Junior and there was an Upper VI of around 30 boys. By 1963 the School population had exceeded the 500 mark for the first time. 500 was, said Mr.Clarke, the ideal size. It was: ‘large enough to provide numbers for a variety of activities and a variety of subjects in the school curriculum. It is small enough to exist as an integrated family community, where all or most of the members know each other and where the sense of belonging to and being proud of a community can flourish’.40 In 1962 a new ‘Review’ procedure was introduced; if an unqualified pupil could show that he was ‘holding his own with qualified boys of his own age in at least six subjects’, he was granted a scholarship. Also in 1962, 11 out of the 27 unqualified boys in Lower IV gained scholarships, on the results of their Junior Certificate, an examination which was abolished in 1965.
