Red Black White #RED BLACK WHITE Directing potential since 1863 01/2018 From the Headmaster’s Desk Dear Parents and Guardians We are more than half way through the first term of 2018 and once again it has been a rollercoaster ride, although certainly with more highs than lows. We proudly acknowledged our class of 2017 and their superb results at the opening assembly at the start of term, and on Friday, we celebrated five staff who have given 20 years of committed and dedicated service to College. Our boys continue to excel in a myriad of activities both in and outside of the classroom; we are exceptionally blessed with the talent we have at our disposal, and the wonderfully committed staff who support them in achieving their goals. This weekend marks the end of our summer sport programme with a number of festivals for basketball and waterpolo, and at assembly on Monday we acknowledged the commitment of our top summer sportsmen, their coaches and managers. It is important to highlight that there are NO shortcuts to success on the sports field, and reaching the goals that you have set for yourself. Gary Player legendary quote is very appropriate: “The harder you work, the luckier you get.” Over the past six weeks, a number of boys have been recognised for excellence in the sports arena in various codes. These boys have all worked very hard to achieve their successes and their coaches have also spent considerable time assisting them in reaching their sporting goals. Collectively they have shown incredible passion and commitment to getting there. I would encourage every boy, as we approach the end of the summer sports programme, to acknowledge his coaches, managers, supporters and parents who have supported him and encouraged him all the way. As you know, College has embarked on a Social Awareness Forum involving staff and pupils (more later in the newsletter). Most recently our staff attended a three hour session with UKZN’s Professor Kevin Durrheim spent discussing key areas of concern. Two of these that were highlighted were tolerance and the need to have a growth mind-set. Further work will In this Issue… occur in this area with both the staff and boys and ultimately with Old Boys From the Headmaster’s Desk 1 and parents as well. Academic Achievements 2 I wish you and your boys an enjoyable and successful rest of the term.

Aimed specifically at our Form 2 and Form 5 boys, the programme began with study skills workshops to help kick-start the academic year. These sessions were given by Elevate Education, an international organisation with a reputation for achieving behavioural change. The company has become an international leader in education, working with the highest performing schools in South Africa, Australia, UK, USA, and Singapore. Later in May, there will be follow-up sessions with these groups of boys. Dedicated Service to Our School Red Cloak begins… Entries for College’s We are fortunate to have many unique Red Cloak Programme dedicated staff in our school – have opened.

Step Up embraces a culture of volunteerism fundamental in nation building, and in particular is focussed on the pivotal role played by the youth (learners). Last year, our boys packed 5 000 meals, which fed 19 children for an entire year as part the Early Childhood Development (ECD) Programme. This year, a group of 18 young men have embarked on this challenge again, setting themselves the challenge of raising over R1 000 each in order to reach a target of R20 000 to provide the meals needed. Currently three weeks in, they are tracking at R3 500. College’s Lisa Ackerman with Sharon Gregory Haripersad is 2018 Desfontaines Khanyisa Peer Tutor leader (StepUp) & Form 4 pupils Khanyisa Continues Running at Maritzburg College since 2009, Khanyisa (meaning to light up) aims to help teachers and learners from under-resourced schools in the greater Pietermaritzburg area to improve their understanding, skills and enjoyment of Maths and Physical science. It is run by Maritzburg College educators and top academic learners, who serve as peer tutors. With support from the local Department of Education, 20 schools have become involved in the programme, benefitting 25 teachers and some 120 learners. This week saw a packed Khanyisa Maths Grade 12 learner session in the Epoch Optima room facilitated by Mrs Suzanne Webley and assisted by College peer tutors. Thank you to Hulamin who have stepped in as the Programme’s major sponsor for this year. College Media Centre The Media Centre is considered the central hub of academics at Maritzburg College, opening before school at 7am and closing at 4.30pm, providing ample opportunity for boys to complete their various academic tasks. With almost 18 000 hard copy and e-books the Centre also ensures that recreational reading can contribute positively to academic achievement. Used as a venue for social chess, as well as a safe haven where the boys can relax after a tough day - the Centre is certainly fulfilling a multifunctional and much needed role in the school! Following a survey with pupils in 2017, UKZN’s Prof Durrheim recently led a workshop Social Awareness Programme with staff aimed at generating debate around how to accommodate Last year, College embarked on a Social Awareness Programme initiated by the diversity in the school and find ways School’s Executive Committee and the School Governing Body (SGB), which is to foster an inclusive environment in being driven by a Social Awareness Task Team made up of SGB representatives, which both staff and students feel a staff, parents and pupils.

    MCF #RED BLACK WHITE Directing potential since 1863 12 May 2019 15-2019 From the Headmaster’s Desk Dear Parents and Guardians This week we are focusing on COMMITMENT through our Character Education programme and on Friday, we celebrated Mothers ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday. 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

  • From the Head of School's Desk
    Term 3, edition 1 2018 From the Head of School’s Desk Half term is a wonderful respite in a very busy year. While we all look forward to time away from school, we do need to take cognisance of the girls’ involvement in all school activities so far this term. There has been great excitement around our official birthday celebration and we hope you have enjoyed the video of the day. This newsletter will confirm the many highlights. I would like to comment on our “piping hot” beginning to half term. We were thrilled to officially reopen and rededicate the Epworth Chapel in January this year, especially as it is our 120th year and 60 years after the completion of the building of the Chapel. We moved the choir from the gallery to the front of the Chapel, providing a stage area for worship and performances, opened up the transepts to increase visibility and improve acoustics, and most recently, installed a new organ in such a way as to complement the original architecture of the building. This project required particular sensitivity given the place the Epworth Chapel has in the hearts of the extended Epworthian community. We are grateful to the school’s architects (Jeremy and Patrick Hathorn) for the sensitive way in which they have remodelled the space and to the contractors and cabinet makers for their superb handiwork. We are delighted with the result, and already the venue has been used for major chapel services, a number of concerts including “Singing in Time” which saw a sizeable orchestra and choir on stage, and the Prep School’s recent production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”.

Kearsney College Chronicle Vol. 4, No. I July, 1955 ON SCHOOL MAGAZINES I think It will be generally agreed that, except for those most intimately concerned, School Magazines would not be classified among the "best sellers". They contain none of the features which attract the common herd, not even a bathing beauty on the cover (though it's an idea). Their interest-value is very local; to the outsider, the lists of event-winners or prize-winners have the monotony of a telephone directory, and does it really matter whether we won the match or lost it? Only to those most closely concerned does it matter. What, Magazine Reader, do you look for? Let's be honest. Yes, of course. You turn over hastily to those places where your own name is likely to appear: your own name, gold-embroidered, standing there for everyone to see, if it were not for the fact that they are too busy looking for their own names. That done, what else is there of interest? Well—you already knew the results of the matches, so that is not news; the activities of your Society are known to you and of no interest to anyone else; the Old Boys' News is just a catalogue of unknown names; articles are boring, except for the writers. Yes, surely this is not a best-seller.

As we grow older our memories become more precious to us, and most vivi dly we recall the turbulent years of our adolescence, our hopes and fea rs, our loves and hates, our triumphs and our failures. Memories of school days at Michaelhouse are unique for each individual, b ut the photographs and stories in this book, reflecting each decade of th e school's hundred years, will, we hope, evoke for every old boy a pleasa nt feeling of nostalgia.

  • Sport Round-Up 25 January 2020
    Sport Round-Up 25 January 2020 Overview Sporting Achievements Maritzburg College’s cricket, basketball and waterpolo teams were in action this weekend with most of our fixtures being played against Kearsney at home. There were some very good results across the age groups. Our U16 basketball team played exceptionally well winning the Michaelhouse festival. Our first team cricket player, Andile Simelane, made his debut for the KZN Inland men’s cricket team over the weekend against Northwest taking 3/30. Our Director of Cricket Mr Kyle Nipper also flew the redblackwhite banner making 118 not out. College performed well on the Athletics field at the KZN 2nd league, and posted excellent results for Squash, Canoeing at the Lions River race, Swimming and Golf. Ethan Gough won the school championship played at Maritzburg Golf Course over the weekend over 36 holes. Cricket This weekend our cricketers played 20 matches, 14 of which were against Kearsney, and the RedBlackWhite teams had 8 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. 1st team Report (Mr Robbie Coutts – 1st XI Coach) The Maritzburg College First Team Captain, Kent Goedeke, won the toss and put Kearsney in to bat in bowling friendly conditions. This was a decision that paid off almost immediately, with a wicket in the first over. The innings continued well for College with the bowling attack restricting Kearsney to 105 runs in 33 overs. This measured approach from Kearsney allowed them to keep wickets in hand and gave them the freedom to launch a more aggressive attack towards the end of the innings. It was only from over 34 overs that the Kearsney batting attack gained traction and they doubled their score in the final 12 overs, putting on another 103 runs to end on 208.
