  • Outcomes Following Global Connections V
    Outcomes following Global Connections V Garth Grierson, Principal of Maru-a-Pula in Botswana advises: "It is likely that Maru-a-Pula will be able to offer a scholarship to Hotchkiss through Skip Mattoon, have links for Mawana for Aiglon College in Switzerland and L'Ermitage in France. L'Ermitage might also be able to link up with MaP French Dept. for enrichment and development." Fr. Edmund Mallya of Loyola High School in Tanzania advises that as a result of GC V, they have begun an environmental group at Loyola. Paul Geise of Pine Point (CT, USA) will be sending the middle school director to Starehe to begin the process of building a student leadership model such as theirs at Pine Point. O. Hoagland Keep of Eaglebrook School (MA, USA) is to conduct an all-school lecture on Starehe, host school for GC V, during the 2001-2002 school year. O. Hoagland Keep of Eaglebrook School (MA, USA) will sponsor a student to Maseno School in Maseno, Kenya, for the 2002-2003 school year and is challenging his Student Council to do the same. Alan Patterson, Mowbray College, Australia, has commenced a staff-to-staff communication with Paul Otula at Maseno School, Kenya. Robert LennoX, Headmaster of Warwick Academy, Bermuda, presented to his staff about the lessons of Starehe, helping to turn the traditional academic school into a more "participative, inviting one." He addressed an assembly of his students on 10 September, 2001 about the experiences of the Seminar at Starehe Boys' Centre and School. Mr. LennoX and his wife (Warwick Academy, Bermuda) shall assist the young man from Starehe Boys' Centre and School, Kenya, who became their school guide and are persuading Warwick Academy's 'Leo' club to do the same.

  • A SHORT HISTORY of the ARMIDALE SCHOOL
    A SHORT HISTORY of THE ARMIDALE SCHOOL D L (Jim) Graham January, 2008 FOREWORD The genesis of this book was a chance remark by the Headmaster, Murray Guest, about the need for a simple and concise history of the School for new boys and other interested people. When I approached Jim Graham, the author of A School of Their Own (the first and only comprehensive history of TAS), he enthusiastically agreed with the idea. This book is the result; I was privileged to assist Jim with the text and editing. Acknowledgement is given to Andrew Constable, a duty master at TAS in the 1980s, and the members of the then History Committee who produced The Armidale School - An Introduction in 1987. Some material from that publication has been used in the preparation of this book. We also thank Ian Johnstone for his valuable assistance. This is a pilot edition and any suggestions or corrections would be welcome. It is hoped to add illustrations at a later date. David Connah January, 2008 FURTHER INFORMATION For further information on the history of the School, the following sources are invaluable: A School of their Own: The History of The Armidale School, by Jim Graham, published in 1994 and The Armidale School Register 1894-1993, compiled by Belinda Anstock, also published in 1994. Past copies of The Armidalian and Binghi are very useful. Many editions of The Armidalian are reproduced on the School's comprehensive website (www.as.edu.au) which is also well worth searching for other information about TAS. AUTHOR'S NOTE I wish to express my thanks to David Connah and his wife Barbie for their invaluable contribution in the preparation of this Short History.
