artist, I was extremely impressed with the level of detail St Saviour’s shown and it was obvious that a tremendous amount of work had gone into producing such eye-catching ideas that Battle of Flowers the children had thoroughly researched from a number of different sources. Association and Speaking to pupils Elodie Wisdom, Alanis Jeanne, Conor Campbell and Ross Tevendale gave me some insight into St Saviour’s School how they produced their masterpieces and it was apparent that the parents were also fully supportive and, in some cases, helped and inspired their children. This was a Parish schoolchildren great example of the Parish community spirit coming together, which is what Battle is all about after all. When looking at all of the children’s collaborate for Battle colourful pictures, I was especially drawn By Roisin Pitman to the effort by Conor Campbell and Elodie Wisdom, who had even worked out the hieroglyphics, a pictographic script used A collaborative partnership between the St. Saviour’s Battle of Flowers in ancient Egypt, that spelt out ‘Parish of St. Saviour’.

A chance remark by Jessica Ellis, the eight year old daughter of Association Chair Sharon Ellis confirmed a strange coincidence, in that Jessica’s Year 4 class were undertaking a term project on the ancient Egyptians, a suggestion that had already come up at one of the Battle committee meetings. So, with the co-operation of Head Teacher Kirstie Williams and Class teacher Kate Amy, the children were tasked with coming up with designs for the float as part of their class homework. With the Battle currently six months away, the groundwork for it began at the end of November when Sharon attended at the school to speak to the children about the process of designing a float and to show them how to make the paper flowers. Sharon was amazed at the interest shown by the children and was even more impressed when she returned to the school in early December to chat to the children again about their designs and discovered that there were over 20 to look at !! In January I was able to come into the school with Sharon to speak with the teachers and children about their project as well as having the chance to see some of their wonderfully creative designs.

p12 Spring 2019 St Saviour Parish Magazine Parish Personalities Rowland Heaven By Roy le Herissier In many ways, Rowland Heaven is a stereotypical Welshman. His father was a coal hewer, his mother was a teacher. He has spent his life immersed in music and grew up as a Methodist and in a rugby loving household. How, then, did this through and through Welshman end up in Jersey? He basically holidayed here with his mother's brother's family, the Howells. Some people of a certain generation will remember Ron Howells senior, a Co-op traveller and a well-known Methodist local preacher.

Rowland was educated in a small Welsh village, Abersychan, and despite his dream of entering the Merchant Navy he ended up at Teacher Training College. His first appointment was at St. Mark's School, followed by promotion to First Tower where he was in charge of Music, then a stint at Halkett Place, followed by the Headship of Trinity. In all, he spent thirty-eight years in Jersey Education. He and his wife Ruth brought up the family of three boys in Georgetown, all of whom live and work in the Island. Rowland describes his years in Education as “the best years in my life”. He did notice the increasing emphasis on statistics and the proliferation of paperwork. Trinity gave him the chance to put a lot of his thinking into practice. He taught music throughout the School. He wanted to “join” the School to the Parish, hence projects like the Egypt project. This relates to a farm called Egypt, on the Trinity coast, at which there was a commando landing in the war, now the subject of an annual commemoration. He saw the importance of a broad curriculum, embracing the Arts to fully develop and mature the pupils. Independence could be nurtured through concerts, sports and extra curricular activities. The Education theme runs in the family as one of Rowland's sons is now Headmaster of St. Clement’s Primary School. However, Rowland’s story is incomplete without reference to his musical and Overseas Aid work. In Wales he had always been an accompanist to others through the organ and piano. He developed his love further by singing with the Sylviidae Male Voice Choir. This developed into a “solo career” through the Eisteddfod and local choral works. It eventually led the family to Georgetown Methodist Church where he sang in the Choir and played the organ, the latter he does to this day. To many, he is well known as the co-founder of Thursday Night is Music Night Concerts. His co-partner was Amy Luce, a prominent member of Jersey singing circles. Specifically, it was the cost of the 1999 refurbishment of Georgetown Church that led to the idea of Thursday Night is Music Night as a way of raising funds. This Thursday Night series saw its 200th Concert this Summer, and the success of the Concerts was such that many other charities have benefited. There has been an impressive list of performers.

p32 Spring 2019 St Saviour Parish Magazine Hautlieu Arts – Treasure Island At the beginning of the year the students were set a brief by the architect Mike Waddington to create a single cast relief panel, to be placed on or next to a chosen building, place or structure in Jersey.

Each year 12 student (16 to 17-year olds) started with a personal theme based on the phrase Treasure Island. The students’ ideas varied from the personal, focussing on their own homes or family, to wider ranging themes that affect us all such as ecology, heritage or architecture. The students, using their own photography, developed images that they would then create their reliefs from. For visual and cultural inspiration, the students visited sites of interest such as the Social Archive, Jersey Museum, the Maritime Museum, CCA International Art Gallery, Jason Butler’s studio and Jersey Arts Centre. They also visited the cemetery at St Saviour’s Church for sculptural inspiration, drawing and photographing the beautiful stone work in some of the older graves. They also studied the symbolism of some of the structures in the cemetery as well as the sculptural forms. The students then created their reliefs over two days at the same time as producing 6 foot by 3-foot charcoal drawings of their reliefs on canvas. This was a way of challenging them to think about scale, materials, narrative, sculptural skills and drawing skills. All the students stepped up to this challenge and thrived and have produced artwork that speaks not only about their own personal experiences but of the experiences of the people of Jersey past and present.

Spring 2019 St Saviour Parish Magazine p35 Urban Fieldwork Study Report Sous l’Eglise By Jack, A pupil at Hautlieu The Index of Multiple Deprivation, or IMD, is a measure of the quality of life in an area based on an assessment of a variety of relevant factors such as environmental quality, educational qualifications or average income. We have used the aforementioned measure to determine the quality of life in three vingtaines (essentially divided areas within a parish); Sous l’Eglise (in St. Saviour), Bas de Mont au Prêtre (the town park), and Bas de la Ville Above: Choropleth to show average numbers of cars per resident.

The first image, shows commonplace housing found in Sous l’Eglise (detached or semi-detached), and is an image of This article specifically will be centred around the vingtaine of Sous residences on Wellington Road.

The Burgess indicates the average number of cars possessed by each model claims that a town or city has at its heart a CBD (a Central household.

Moreover, the town does match the Hoyt model too, but to less of a degree. There is still evidence of terraced and semi-detached housing with shops built along major roads (such as St. Saviour’s Road, for example), which are the transport links detailed in the Hoyt model. However, there is minimal large industrial areas in Jersey, save La Collette, but that is built on reclaimed land and the housing of the town is not structured revolving around the plant or the wind direction, as La Collette was constructed mainly after the houses of St Helier were already made. As mentioned above, the town matches the Burgess model more than it does the Hoyt model. | Mon - Sat 8.00am - 5.30pm

p38 Spring 2019 St Saviour Parish Magazinev ParishChurch News UPDATE The Remembrance Sunday service, also known as Armistice Day, was very well attended, with our Connetable, Sadie Le Sueur Rennard laying a wreath at the Parish cenotaph. The 3rd Jersey Scouts were also in attendance and the Scout leader laid a wreath, in memory of all those young men of St Saviour who had laid down their lives in both World Wars. The date this year, 11 November 2018, was particularly significant because it was 100 years to the day since the guns of the first war fell silent at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, in 1918. The new format of the Church has been used to great advantage with the Christmas Nativity and the service of Nine lessons and Carols. The Christmas Nativity with the Sunday School and Stepping Stones children, was a delight and they all played out their parts very well. Directed by our own Sylvie Marquis, herself very experienced at tripping the boards. The children’s costumes were perfect, with Mary in blue and Joseph looking quite dashing in his robes. Angel Gabriel stood head and shoulders above the others, which was a clever illustration for that part of the Bible story. There were refreshments afterwards with mince pies. The service for Nine Lessons and Carols was well attended, with refreshments afterwards including mince pies, and plenty of time chat and offering best wishes for Christmas between friends. Midnight Mass took place, again a good size congregation and then on Christmas morning the Family service which included a very smart pedal car! The Church choir were kept very busy over the festive peri od, and we managed to keep our voices lubricated!! 3rd Jersey Scout Group are doing a clean of the graves on the 16th March, starting at 2.00 pm with a half hour talk by Rev Peter Dyson of some of the more interesting graves, and then an hour’s cleaning followed by tea and cake. There are about 50-60 volunteers at present; if anyone else would like join in with cleaning the old graves, please do come along. Then, on 28th April, the 3rd Jersey Scout Group will be renewing their Promise, meeting at the Parish Hall in time for a 2.00 pm service in Church. Here are some fixed social dates for your diaries: - Tuesday 9th April at 6pm – “Clean and Bean” in other words cleaning the Church followed by a shared meal. Thursday 25th April – An evening meal and social at Highlands College. The cost of dinner is £1 7 per person (plus cost of wine if you choose it) A deposit of £8 per person will be required by the end of March. Please contact Pam Hill on 871748 if you wish to attend and pay your deposit by Sunday 24 March. Sunday 28th April – The 3rd Jersey Scout Group will be renewing their Promise with a service in Church at 2pm.
