9 March 2018 St Andrew’S COLLEGE Nec Aspera Terrent
Newsletter Term 1 #7 9 March 2018 St Andrew’s COLLEGE Nec Aspera Terrent To the Andrean Community Winning is fun... Sure. But winning is not the point. Wanting to win is the point. Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you've done is the point. Pat Summitt As I write this newsletter I am in the Highlander, looking over that most beautiful of school sights, Lower Field, emerald green after the blessing of lots of soaking rain in Grahamstown, with the early preparations underway for a feast of weekend cricket against Grey. It is a beautiful late summer morning, and as I savour my pot of tea, the wonderful cricket-y scene below is betrayed by the slight fatigue evident in the leaves, the slight nip in the air, and the pale blue of an increasingly distant sky. These are all signs that soon the seasons will have turned. The posts will be up, and the voices of Andreans everywhere will be echoing across Grahamstown as the Blues run out to represent us all in another display of great rugby. We look forward to another cracker of a winter sports season, not just in rugby, and not just at top-team levels. St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent 9 March 2018 Across every age group and team we expect our boys again to be playing with that characteristic College grit and extraordinary commitment, carrying the ethos of nec aspera terrent in their hearts wherever they go. And although winning is always great and we never intend to lose, winning is not everything. -

At «ja;,.?>s t Kearsney College Chronicle JULY, 1965 Kearsney College Chronicle Vol. 6 No. 1 Juij^ 1965 EDITORIAL We are a very young school, even by South African standards. By comparison with the schools of England, we are only just hatched. But, quite humbly, we wonder whether any other Public or Private boarding school has grown and matured quite as quickly as we have. In a mere 44 years we have grown from 11, housed in a private mansion, to 460, with (as all will agree) buildings and grounds hardly surpassed in the country. In the 25 years at Botha's Hill we have increased by 350, and the original bleak and bare setting can now scarcely be visualised. There is no boasting in this. We are quite convinced that this school was needed, and that throughout its development the hand of Providence has been at work. The early private venture was not allowed to disintegrate, although at one stage faith and sacrifice was needed to save the school from dying. But it was willed that we should survive, and that our faith should be justified. So we see our young life now divided into three parts. There was the period of foundation, under the right Headmaster; a humble unambitious period m which stress was unostentatiously laid on those things which matter: tome, character, humility, tremendous loyalty from those who loved their school. When these foundations were well and truly laid, there followed the second stage, again under the right Headmaster: one of bricks and mortar, a physical develop ment, one which saw us grow and grow, in numbers and influence, until we could regard ourselves as a school which was making a real impact upon the wider community. -

Term 2 #14 24 May 2019 NewsletterCollege St Andrew’s College To the Andrean Community One of the lesser known ‘beautiful spaces’ at College is a large frangipani tree that grows alongside the north eastern buttress of the Chapel. It is a most beautiful tree, basking in the morning sun, protected by the strong Chapel walls - that “What is a farm but a mute when the cold winds blow it is able to stand firm, not in its own strength, but in gospel?”. the shelter that the Chapel provides. - Ralph Waldo Emerson It is old enough that its roots are deeply planted, that when rains are generous it is able to drink deeply, but in dry times the deep water will sustain it. On the surface it always faces the new morning sun with optimism. Below the surface its roots prepare for the reality that with good days come bad, and it knows to always enjoy the former but to do so in the knowledge that those days of growth will prepare it for the long days of challenge. Inherent in understanding that is the knowledge that, as inevitable as the tough times are, they are transient, for we are made to grow and flourish. Nec Aspera Terrent St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent WEEK AT A GLANCE The flowers of a frangipani have a beautiful ‘tropical island’ simplicity to them. No fancy stigmas and stamens here, just a simple, well textured flower that beams Friday 24 May: its beauty and somehow understands its most exquisite aroma.
