After numerous meetings, a SWOT Analysis and a Staff Development afternoon to discuss our findings and set our priorities, we emerged with a clear understanding of the way forward for Prep. The following quote best describes Prep’s attitude to our future endeavours:

“Make no little plans, They have no magic to stir men’s blood And probably in themselves will not be realised. Make big plans, deep into the future: aim high in hope and work. Have faith, remembering that a noble plan, once recorded will never die; and long after we have gone will still be a lining thing” (Source unknown)

Thank you to Phillip Kershaw, Managing Member, and Kevin Phillips, Sales & Marketing Manager, for their contribution in this partner- ship which is greatly appreciated by the Trust.

HIGH SCHOOL OLD BOYS

FRIENDS AND FOUNDERS 28 August 2014

This is always a special occasion in the school year with the day commencing with the flag-raising ceremony. It was especially pleasing to have many old boys currently attending high school at the event. The JP Sports Day commenced after the flag-raising tea with the SP Sports Day in the afternoon. At the cocktail party in the evening, Ron Tamboer (Trustee) welcomed Old Boys, friends of Prep and Parents. It was heart-warming to see so many Old Boys from the Class of 2004 for their 10 year reunion and Class of 1994 for their 20 year reunion. Fond memo- ries of school days and many good stories were regaled by the old Boys who enjoyed the get-together. Thanks, as always, to the DPHS Mothers Committee for the excellent organization of the evening

TRIBUTE TO JOHN SPENCER SMITH

SYMPATHY NOTICE from the newspapers

JOHN SPENCER SMITH 5 November 1927 – 23 October 2014

Jane, Ruth, Joanne and all the family – Our heartfelt sympathy to you on the passing of John.

‘Smithy’ arrived in South Africa in 1955 when he joined the DPHS staff and became the School’s ninth Headmaster from 1976 to 1987. DPHS remains forever grateful for his significant contribution to the school and his love for Prep. We give thanks for the time that he spent at DPHS and for his devoted support of the school over the years. He will always be remembered with fondness and gratitude.

John Spencer Smith arrived in South Headmaster in 1976.

John Smith’s enormous contribution to Prep was recognized in 2001 when the bottom field was named the John Smith Field. In this photograph he is pictured with his daughter Joanne and grandsons Liam and Evan. At the time Liam was a pupil at Prep and Evan was aged 15 and attended Glenwood High School. Fittingly in remembrance of Mr Smith, a special assembly was held and the flag, which had been flying at half-mast, was raised. The 11th headmaster, accompanied by two Grade 7 boys then placed a wreath beneath the dedication plaque on the Smith Field.

CHOIR The commitment and dedication of the Grade 7 singers to main- tain vocal skills and continue to develop their vocal technique as they completed their Senior Primary phase provided our school with a mature choir in 2014. Many senior singers carried out a va- riety of senior responsibilities during the year whilst fulfilling their roles in the school choir. Jordan Bamber led the choir. The boys proudly sang at concerts and other events in the course of the year, the highlight being the wedding ceremony of Prep old boy and current staff member Malcolm Phillips and Elizabeth Ahern at St James’ Church on 23 August. Choir performances were well received at the following functions: Maris Stella Choir Evening - 13 March Westville Senior Primary School Choir Evening - 23 April Performing Arts Evening - 4 June The choir led the singing of favourite hymns at St Thomas Church at the Memorial Service for John Smith, former teacher and DPHS Headmaster - 29 October New Boys’ Visit - 26 November Speech Day and Prizegiving - 4 December - The choir sang ‘The Rhythm of Life’ (Fields & Coleman ) and ‘Pompeii’ (Bastille)

The best part of Grade Two The things I enjoyed in Grade 2 was learning how to do the best art. The life lessons we learnt were no punching, no looking at the other persons work. When it’s my classes turn to go on the jungle Gym it is so fun. The best excursion was when we all went to the bird park. We saw so many birds of all different colours. I loved mini cricket because my dad was coaching and I did make some runs. I am looking forward to Grade 3 because I want to do projects. Damon Goodway The best part of Grade 2 was when we went on our outing to the Gymnastics club and got to swing on the equipment.

Excursion to uShaka On the 18 March 2014 the Grade 3s went for an excursion to uShaka. When we got there we went into a room where there was a big screen and we met a lady called Dudu there. She gave us the talk about the fish under the sea. We saw slide shows of sharks, penguins, eels, stingrays, octopus and other sea animals. I learnt that the female sea-horse lays eggs in the male’s pouch and the male carries the baby. We had a lovely educational talk and Dudu showed us more pictures of interesting sea animals. Dudu taught us about lots of things. After the talk we sat down to eat our lunch. We went to the aquarium with our guide. She took us around to see all kinds of fish like the clown fish and parrot fish. The guide spoke to us about the fish in the big tanks. After the aquarium the guide took us to watch the dolphin show which was so amazing. I was so lucky because I was chosen to go in front and was splashed with water by the dolphin. The first dolphin’s name was Gambit and he is 43 years old. All the other girl dolphins were so good too. I really had a great time at uShaka. Olo Sopotela When I got to school I was so excited I didn’t know what to do. We got on the bus and off we went. When we got there we were a bit early so we had to wait. Finally it was time to go inside. We sat in chairs and a lady came in. Her name was Dudu and she put on a projector and showed us some pictures of the animals in the aquarium. Then she told us who was going to take us around. Her name was Sdu. We went to lots of places and saw lots of animals. My best part was when we saw the sharks. There were three sharks. After that we went to the dolphin show and I got to be on the big screen. The dolphins were awesome. Dominic Hislop

The Sports Car The Dodge Viper pulled up in our driveway with the roar of a lion, then the purr of a panther. Its bodywork was as blue as the ocean. It has cloud–white racing strips. Its wheels were as black as coal and its seats bark brown. Joshua Maskell

My Exciting Holiday It was break-up day, everybody was excited that school was over and that there were three weeks of holiday. At the end of the day we had cakes be- cause it was Ethan’s birthday. Then the home bell rang, I was so happy that school was over. In the holidays I went to Umfolozi Game Reserve with my sister, my dad and my mom. It took three hours to get there. On the way I watched a movie. When we got there we drove around in the game reserve and looked at the animals. We saw fourteen impala, three black rhino, two elephants and a buffalo. After that we stayed in a place near Hluhluwe. The next morning my sister and my dad went to the SPCA and I went to look at the cheetah. My tour guide let me touch a full grown cheetah. On the last day of the holidays I was happy and sad. I was sad because My Grade 4 Year the holidays were over but I was happy because school would start again. I was surprised when... Bandile Mhlongo I was placed first in class. I was the happiest boy in the world. I felt like I could do anything. My Grade 4 Experience Javashkaar Naidoo On my first day of this year I was so nervous because I wanted to know whose class I was in. I was split up with most of my best friends. I was in Mrs Fletcher’s class. I was so excited to see what my teacher was like. Actu- ally my teacher was very kind and exceptional at everything. I have had a fantastic year so far. It was enjoyable and fun. The thing I particularly liked in grade 3 was playing on the jungle gym. In grade 4 my favourite thing was playing cricket at break. The assemblies are on Mondays now. The excursions are completely different to last a year. You can also come in the top 5. In grade 3 you have to play 10 man hockey and this year we play 6 man hockey. The best thing for me this year was going on the rugby tour to Johannesburg. In grade 4 there are many different subjects like S.S and N.S. we can write in pen. In the first term I came 6th in class. In the 3rd term I came 3rd. I was very grateful to be part of the S.P. I was looking forward to Grade 5 next year. I hope I am in the A Class next year. This year it was my best experience ever in my entire schooling. I loved this year. Sheldon Govender

The Trip of a Life Time The wonderful journey started on the meandering road. All the boys were very excited, including me. When we arrived at the Sweetdale Camp, everyone looked around at the lush vegetation and the white tents. The instructors addressed us and put us into groups. We went to our tents and got ready for the activities planned ahead. The activity that I enjoyed the most was the High-Rope. I thought that it was dangerous, because the thin rope was 15 metres high. On the ground there were green and brown leaves. I went off on the thin rope. I was very scared! The challenges were very difficult, but in the end I completed them. I was relieved and my friends clapped, as I got down. The meals were very tasty, especially the burgers and the thin crisp chips. The tuck-shop had a variety of junk food, which I enjoyed. When the trip of the life-time came to an end, I was sad. We learnt five principles. They were safety, commitment, respect, critical thinking and fun. I enjoyed my wonderful stay at the Sweetdale Camp! Suraav Ramlugaan

Long Walk to Fundom We arrived at Sweetdale on Monday, Packed our bags on a tractor, Dragged them along in the warm, sticky air. There was lush vegetation, And a lyrical canopy, With a little stream. Going down the gravel-type road, There were trees, With the most beautiful fresh green leaves, Cracks of sunlight, Shone through the leaves of the canopy, It was a long walk, To the fun activities. Everyone was high- spirited, When we arrived. We went in groups to our tents, Which had huge concrete floors, With bunk beds. The food was delicious and mouth-watering. The activities were fun, scary, And sometimes thrilling - Especially the one hundred metre long slide. We were sad when we left on Wednesday! Connor Carey

A friend is a person, You like, and they like you, They help you, Through thick and thin, They are like cement, And you are the bricks, They hold you together, They always have your back. You can share your thoughts, And they will listen, They give you advice, When you are feeling down. Friends are like family, When you are feeling, As if everybody hates you, You can go to your friend, He will comfort you. Samuel Spooner He picks me up, When I’m feeling down, Makes me feel like a Superhero. He plays the games I like, I play the games he likes, We never bully each other, The Snowboard Race Or scream or shout at each other.

You can only earn a friend, There goes the gun, I’m off, I’m focused on the ramps and jumps, By being friendly. Ahead of me, A friend is there, I’m gliding through the thick snow, To make you happy, I knock into another opponent, And to make you feel comfortable, I fall, I’m out, I’m out of the race! When you’re feeling blue. Now I’m buried in the thick snow, A friend is someone, I’m really feeling the cold in my bones, You can trust, I finish last, I blew my chance! And tell stories or secrets to. Luckily I shall have another chance, A friend is someone you can love. In four years’ time! Oliver Simpkins Luca Botha

The Horrible Bus Every day after school I have to go on that rusty old white bus. The worst part of my day is getting on that bus that smells like smoke, because the bus driver smokes every day in the bus. There is gum under the seats and every time I sit down it creeks. I’m scared every time I get on that bus because it sounds like it is about to fall over. The way the bus driver drives so recklessly scares me every time.

The Old Man A few years ago there was an old man who lived in our neighbourhood. He had a white long, grizzly beard and red cracked skin with bright blue eyes and long ridged toe nails. When he talked he had a deep voice and a dry laugh. He was coughing continuously. He couldn’t walk. He sat in a blue electrical wheelchair and wore ragged clothing. He had the smell of onions, garlic and a powerful strong peanut butter smell. Mpendulo Simamane

The Delicious Boerewors Roll The delicious boerewors roll’s aroma wafts in the air, wherever the breeze takes it. The sizzling hot sausage in the greasy grill on top of the braai. The fresh white roll, Soft as a babies bottom, cut open and buttered. Slide the cut, open, hot boerewors into the soft roll, melting the butter into the bread. The tastes mixing when a bite is taken. The different flavours and textures, blending together all to make the delicious dish they call the boerewors roll. Gabriel Sjouerman A piece of Cake Once when I went to a restaurant I had a piece of cake. It had a vanilla base with strawberry filling in the middle and on top. It had a strawberry soaked in chocolate sauce laid on top. When you ate it, it was fresh and delicious. MARKET DAY The strawberry explodes like a rainbow in your mouth when you eat them. It smells fresh and yummy. I loved my fresh, delicious, rainbow cake. Jake Mileham My Grandpa’s Surfboard I found my grandpa’s surfboard in the shed. My grandpa’s surfboard was white and blue with an or- ange border. The surfboard is a longboard. It was dirty and felt like an old road. My grandpa’s surfboard croaked like a frog as you climbed on it. Every time you move it squeaks like a mouse. When you caught a wave it would wobble like jelly. I love catching waves on my grandpa’s surfboard. Benjamin Jackson My Brothers Fish When we go to the beach my brother always fishes. I love the one fish he caught. The fish was the size of a school ruler. The fish was brown and yellow and it had blue spots on its head. It had big scales on its body. When the fish jumped it made a splash, flap and a bang sound on the water. The fish smelt like salt water and wet dog. I love going fishing with my brother and smelling the sea air and the fish flopping in the water. Mark Ten Bokkel-Huinink

The third, don’t criticize someone before you’ve tried it. The fourth, before you make a decision always think of the worst thing that could happen not the best. He also did a bunch of amazing magic tricks in between. Payton Elliot My most enjoyable activity was the snake pit. We had to crawl into a pit full of wet mud. The other activities were also very fun. The hardest activity was the Chinese Wall. It felt like it took an hour! The tyre stacking took some thinking and we did it in MARKET DAY MARKET DAY thirteen minutes. The night activities were very fun! Kent Goedeke Everyone went to the hall for a leadership lesson with a man named Dave. We did a lot of things. We were taught that leaders have to make the first decisions. We were taught how to explain things properly and to see things through other people’s eyes. We were also taught how to convince other people into doing things for you. Michael van Dam On Wednesday we sadly came to the end of our adventurous excursion. We did a few activities before we all had to get on the bus and drive back to school. I was happy to be back in Durban. There’s no place like home. Hrthiq Ramlal On Wednesday everyone was filled with sorrow as we were about to leave, but we were also happy that we were going to see our families. I’m absolutely sure that everyone enjoyed their excursion. Chad Nandh

On Monday 8 December the boys were treated to an experience of heroic proportions. The hall was transformed into a city-scape fitting of a super hero storyboard for the Grade 7 Valedictory Dinner. Drawing on all that we try to instil in our boys during their time at Prep, the dinner was about celebrating the ‘heroes’ these boys have become and what they can achieve when they move on to high school and the years after.

Excerpt from ‘My Dream Come True’ The time had come. The World Cup had started and the opening match was The Springboks vs All Blacks. Our squad was ready and focussed. I suddenly realised that my greatest dream was about to come true; to represent the Springboks. Only a few minutes remained before I ran out onto the field, with my team mates, to represent my country. I was tingling all over and my stomach was in knots. The clock ticked away the seconds. My heart was beating so hard, I thought it would burst out of my chest. Our coach popped his head through the door- way and gave us the nod. It was time. We all took a slow, focussed walk through the door which turned into a sprint out of the tunnel and onto the field. As we streamed out, the fans brought the stadium to life and inspired the Boks. It was the best day of my life. Ross Roberts

Excerpt from ‘What it means to be friends’ The dictionary defines a friend as someone you like and know well… But a friend is much more than that. A friend is someone who will always stick up for you, no matter whether you did the right or wrong thing. They won’t criticise your ways, or you as a person. They won’t laugh at you when you’re in pain. A friend will always be there for you, they’ll always be able to help through tough times because that’s what friends do. So the dictionary got it slightly wrong. A friend is someone that you not only like, but someone that is just like you. Matt du Toit

Excerpt from ‘Winning isn’t everything’ ‘Winning isn’t everything’; this may sound like a lame expression that parents use to make their kids feel better about themselves, but there is some truth behind this old saying. Yes it is nice to win all the time but sometimes you just can’t win, no matter how hard you try. One must always remember that there is always someone stronger, faster, bigger or even smarter than you and there is always someone trying to beat you. I am not saying that you should give up and never try. I am telling you to get up and try again and that failing is just a way of learning so you will be better prepared, next time. Just remember to give whatever you do, your all and to have fun doing it! Ahmed Jajbhay

Sun It provides energy for you and me That’s quite simple and plain to see, It rises in the morning Yippee! When it stops in the sky and gives the earth a glare, It makes me stop to smile and stare If you stay in it for too long Your body will go very wrong. It won’t just be like any tan, It will make you into a hot headed man. If you get to the suns angry side, You might just want to run and hide. For he is known to be a ball of death, It surely will take away your breath. Azhar Bana

He opens my desk and there it is, right there! He gives me a cold, deathly stare. I know the shouting is imminent, yet, my desk acts so innocent. Bhavik Singh

PREP PALS

The DPHS Prep Pal programme is a unique one which is adapted to suit each and every boy at Prep. There is always a feeling of excitement in the build up to the meeting dates. The system, however, is not merely about the eight meet- ings that each family has the opportunity to sit down and discuss throughout the year. The programme runs far deeper than that. The val- ues held in high esteem by DPHS are reinforced through the bonds that the Prep boys form with each other. The meetings are not the glue that holds that together - rather it is the super- glue of the Prep Experience that bonds each Prep boy and family firmly together. We are proud of the Prep motto ‘Preparing our Boys for Life’ and through being a Prep Pal each and every boy has the opportunity to lead confidently, follow helpfully, guide perceptively, care for those around them and realise that stepping out of their comfort zone by just being themselves is acceptable. The Grade Sevens fulfilled their roles as the ‘father’ of their families by leading with enthusiasm and a great deal of empathy. The initial meeting allowed the boys to get to know each other in an informal manner. Some of the various interactive and fun activi- ties that each Prep Pal group tackled included: • A Sports and Hobbies meeting focussed around the DPHS Cross Country event, during which participation, teamwork and displaying positive support were discussed. • Being a ‘SuperPal’ in which the values of friendship were discussed. • Using the motto of ‘Be Prepared’ the groups forged forward into the final quar- ter of the year planning how to be success- ful in their endeavours. At the final meeting the Grade Seven Leader awarded each member of his Prep Pal group with a personalised certificate, validating each boy in his family by acknowledging his strengths and interests. The Grade Sevens of 2014 are commend- ed for the fine example that they have set for their Pal families. They have been positive role models for the entire school, especially the Grade Six boys, who are looking forward to taking on this exciting responsibility in the New Year.

THE VICTOR DAITZ SCIENCE EXPO

Congratulations to our Grade 6 and Grade 7 boys on the success of their Natural Science Exhibition. We had a total of 79 exhibits and all groups can be proud of the work that they produced. The Grade 6 experiments were fun and exciting to watch. It was very clear that they enjoyed doing them but what was more impressive was the explanation that followed. The Grade 7 investigative studies were conducted at a level beyond the class- room and we were particularly pleased with the boys’ interest in renewable and sustainable energy resources. We will all agree that there are definitely scientists in the making at DPHS. Well done boys.Alistair Naidu

CRICKET

1st Team 2014 The 2014 1st XI continued to build on what other 1st teams achieved in recent years. The first team started off the term well and although the team didn’t show total domi- nance, they showed some good all-round qualities. It was a team that required everybody to pull their weight in order for success to be achieved. The first term presented some tough challenges especially over the DPHS festival. It was a tough challenge for the boys to score at more than five runs per over. Just as we looked set to develop a big partnership we would lose a wicket.

Mini Hockey The 2014 Grade 1 and 2 Mini Hockey season was once again a great success. In no small part due to the dedication of the parents who volunteered to help with the coaching. Eight sessions were held at the Riverside Astro Turf. Six of these sessions took the format of a skills drill followed by mini games were the boys were encouraged to practise what they had learnt. The parent coaches and boys where ably instructed in the drills by Russell Whittaker and Chiara Benati .The boys approached the games with great enthusiasm and vigour. The last two sessions took the format of mini tournaments. Fifteen minute games were organized al- lowing all the players to consolidate the skills learnt this season. Thank you to the coaches for all your hard work. We would not have been able to hold such a successful season without you. Glenda Marklew
