School Notes THE PETERITE Vol. LXI I OCTOBER, 1971 No. 385 EDITORIAL Two years after the death of Kenneth Rhodes the new stalls in the east end of Chapel were dedicated in July by Bishop Harland, a distinguished Old Peterite, formerly Bishop of Durham. The stalls are a fitting memorial from the Old Peterites to Rhodes, who was regular in his worship all his life; reverent without any trace of smugness; critical of Chapel changes, sometimes amused, but always tolerant where sincerity was apparent. His anger was only aroused when he sometimes saw ignorance masquerading as agnosticism, and surly indifference as religious doubt. For he well knew that it takes much intelligent and mature thought to produce an honest agnostic; but in general, the isolated individual who ostentatiously avoided taking any part in a service was an object of pity rather than of wrath. To Rhodes, Chapel was part of the discipline of the School society, where the individual could seek his own measure of communication and comfort, but where the schoolboy maturing to manhood should receive steady instruction by familiar practice; instruction that ideally would be complementary to what was learnt at home, but which sometimes might be the substitute for what was not given elsewhere. Rhodes, with his questioning mind, would not question the need for the schoolboy to be instructed in the Christian faith, nor the duty of the School to undertake the instruction. He was well aware that this view might be called outdated, but he would not consider that the exploration of faith could be any more dated than the investigation of science. The sin was the closing of the mind. So the old question comes up from time to time: 'Why compulsory Chapel?' The argument can be endless. The answer is probably tied up with education generally. Who is to decide what should be learnt, and what principles are there to guide the decision? From Plato to Chairman Mao the basic theory of education has accepted that there is a body to be trained : hence the need for exercise; a mind to be developed: hence the need for a varied corpus of knowledge which the mind can be trained to assimilate and to use; and a spirit to be satisfied : hence the Thoughts of the Chairman, and the faith in Collectivism that the Soviet system hopes to inculcate in its best brains. In the West we have been left for the time being thinking that while our physical and mental development moves with the times, the faith in which our culture was built up must be outdated because it is not a product of our age. It is to be wondered how long the Chairman's thoughts will influence opinion after two thousand years; yet the modern Chinaman is expected to accept them as his article of faith. 1 CONTENTS PAGE Editorial 1 School Notes ...

M. Atkinson The problem for Christendom seems to be that Christian faith requires intellectual effort, and so many of us, in shunning the effort, try to scorn the faith as an opiate prepared for the simple. Any school in Christendom that allows its children to grow up un- instructed in the Faith is failing as badly in its duty as if it fails to give them the opportunity to study Marxism, Maoism, or any other ideal. But the need for instruction in the Christian faith is because almost every branch of our civilisation and culture has been affected by it, law, government, science, and the whole range of the arts. And it seems reasonable that anyone who is going to take any leading part in a society deeply affected by Christianity should be thoroughly conversant with it. For though he may later put it aside from his routine, he will never lose the influence of it, and he will usually return to it. The Editor thanks the many contributors to The Peterite, and would welcome correspondence and articles of general interest. SCHOOL NOTES January to September We congratulate Mr. J.

Salvete omnes, et Eboracum bene venite, primam Britanniae inferioris urbem, qua abhinc mine nongentos annos Quintus Petilius Cerealis Caesius Rufus, legatus Augusti pro praetore, vir praeclarissimus, castra sua munivit, auxilio Legionis Nonae Hispanae, eis saluti omnibus qui inter Parisios Brigantesque agros colebant. Quibus ex castris per regiones finitimas vi et armis irruperunt Romani eo duce; nam, ut Tacitus narravit, terrorem statim intulit, Brigantum civitatem, quae numerosissima provinciae totius perhibetur, adgressus; multa proelia, et aliquando non incruenta; magnamque Brigantum partem aut victoria amplexus est aut bello. Ita pax est instituta Romana, priusquam in Caledoniam progrederentur legionarii tam ferociter agentes ut totiens in futurum tantas Britanniae clades, incendia, artrocitates ultro retulerint Picti.

  • Report on the Second York Schools Science Quiz on Thursday 12 March, Thirteen Schools from in and Around York Came Together
    Report on the Second York Schools Science Quiz On Thursday 12 March, thirteen schools from in and around York came together for the second York Schools Science Quiz. Twenty two school teams competed along with four teacher teams (put together from the teachers who brought the pupils along from the various schools) for the trophies and prizes. Each team consisted of two Lower Sixth and two Fifth Form pupils or four Fifth Form pupils for those schools without Sixth Forms. The schools represented were Manor CE School, Canon Lee School, The Joseph Rowntree School, Huntington School, Archbishop Holgate’s School, Fulford School, All Saints School, Millthorpe School, St Peter’s School, Bootham School, The Mount School, Selby High School and Scarborough College. The event took place as part of the York ISSP and also the York Schools Ogden Partnership, with a large thank you to the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Physics for some of the prizes, the Rotary Club of York Vikings for the water bottles and the Ogden Trust for the 8 GB memory sticks and Amazon Voucher prizes. The quiz was put together and presented by Sarah McKie, who is the Head of Biology at St Peter’s School, and consisted of Biology, Chemistry and Physics rounds alongside an Observation Challenge and a Hitting the Headlines round amongst others. At the end of the quiz the teams waited with bated breath for the results to be announced. It turned out that three teams were tied for second place, so a tie breaker was needed to separate them.

  • Horizons Christmas 2010
    Scarborough College HORIZONS News from Scarborough College - Christmas Term 2010 Charity Fundraising Students in all age groups are encouraged to recognise their social responsibility and they are always keen to support charity fundraising. Several charities have benefitted this term including St Catherine’s Hospice, The Rotary Club, Help for Heroes, The British Legion and The Army Benevolent Fund. One of the campaigns which afforded great amusement was the Wear Pink Day for breast cancer research. I granted permission for the sixth form to wear fancy dress and wondered with some trepidation what the results might be. They were certainly spectacular, as I’m sure you’ll agree! Christmas will soon be upon us and it has been an eventful term. As you will see by this newsletter there is a lot to report and it is a reflection of the very hard work on the part of staff and pupils. For my own part, I have spent my first weeks at the College getting to know pupils, parents and staff. It has been enormously enjoyable and bodes very well for the future. The Nixon family is now happily ensconced and enjoying life by the seaside. Equally, I know Dan Davey and his family are well settled and together we have been made to feel welcome. The term began with Scarborough’s very first country show hosted by Scarborough College. This was a considerable undertaking and thanks are due to Mark and Tina Lewis, in particular, for the huge efforts they made to make the show a success. In a period of very uncertain weather, we were blessed with a fine day and it was a wonderful introduction to the College.
