  • 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.

Althoughwith it thishad issuenot beenwe embark anticipated, upon Volumethis is IIour of firstthe Peace is^e, too Volume I covered our first five and a half years at bottia s Hill, and almost exactly covered the War period. Readers know that during these War years the Editor, sharing our common pride in the endurance and sacrifice of our Old Boys, made a special point of reproducing selections of letters from the battle fronts. 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

  • 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”.
