  • Newsletter #4 October 2019 Dear Old Boys Even in the Relative Quiet of the Balgowan Valley We Are Amazed That the End of the Year Is Almost on Us
    Newsletter #4 October 2019 Dear Old Boys Even in the relative quiet of the Balgowan Valley we are amazed that the end of the year is almost on us. Just a few weeks until the boys pack their laughter and lively noise into cars and buses, leaving silent cloisters in their wake. It has been a full and eventful year at Michaelhouse and we have enjoyed recording the more recent Old Boy happenings in this newsletter. Ryan Thomson is our past Senior Prefect featured in this edition. The solar cooker, which Ryan developed during his engineering studies may well become one of my retirement projects! Robbie Leggat is completing the St Michael Statue commissioned by Graham McIntosh, which will soon be a prominent feature at the front of school. Christian Botha returned to school to open the Matric Art Exhibition and inspire our current art students. A few more old boys who are leading schools and making a difference to the lives of young people in classrooms around the world, have found their way onto these pages, as has Simon d ’Aubrey, making his name on agriculture. Storm Green has made the queen’s birthday honours list and Tim Harkness met James Fleming at the Elite Sport Summit Conference in Cape town, where he provided new insights into the psychology of success in sport. Old Boys continue to excel on the rivers, on their bikes and on the sports fields globally, performing well in the Berg and Bush, Amashova, Fish River Marathon and on the rugby field in Ireland. Joshin Raghubar is a John McNulty Prize laureate for his work in IT and the Midlands Branch managed to entice Keith Begg to Fordoun where he shared his inspirational life work in wildlife filming and, more recently, community-based conservation in Niassa.

In this way present and past boys have been able to follow the part Kearsney has played in the conduct of the War. We have watched our boys in Abyssinia, Madagascar, Egypt, Tunisia, Italy, and on the high seas. We rejoice at their success, we grieve at their sufferings, we reverently mourn for those who have died. Now, with joyous anticipation we await their return, and we assure every one of them that there is a warm welcome waiting for them at Kearsney. The section "Extracts from Letters" will thus gradually disappear But every item of news that comes to our notice will be faithfully recorded, and the Old Boys' Section will still hold an important place in the Maga- Since 1940 Life Membership has risen from approximately 40 to ', sod this increased enthusiasm during such difficult years promises well for the future of the Club.

In line with the theme on Commitment, College is proud to recognize the long service of a number of our staff members who have served the school with distinction over the past 20, 30 and 40 years. 20-year Service: Mrs Suzanne Webley, Mr Ben Bosch, Mr Jabulani Mhlongo, Mrs Carol Smith, Mr Ken Hackland 30-year Service: Mr Sipho Zondi 40-year Service: Mrs Hazel Miller Boys were reminded of COMMITMENT TO ACADEMICS, with mid- year exams fast approaching, and the need to start revising and preparing, making use of chosen study and revision techniques, and where necessary, attending additional lessons after school. In recognition of Mother’s Day, we asked our boys to bring their mother or mother-figure in their lives to support them and watch them play on Saturday against DHS. There was also the chance to have a photo taken with “Mom” at the Pop-up Photo booth and give her a homemade biscuit. At College, we pay tribute to all our “Moms” who make such a difference in our lives. So what do Mothers want from their sons? • For you to be truly happy and safe • For you to have close, decent friends and to treasure friendship • For you to be proud of yourself and to build esteem in others • For you to have a zest for life and an enthusiasm for ensuring that you extricate the marrow

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.
