  • 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

At «ja;,.?>s t Kearsney College Chronicle JULY, 1965 Kearsney College Chronicle Vol. 6 No. 1 Juij^ 1965 EDITORIAL We are a very young school, even by South African standards. By comparison with the schools of England, we are only just hatched. But, quite humbly, we wonder whether any other Public or Private boarding school has grown and matured quite as quickly as we have. In a mere 44 years we have grown from 11, housed in a private mansion, to 460, with (as all will agree) buildings and grounds hardly surpassed in the country. In the 25 years at Botha's Hill we have increased by 350, and the original bleak and bare setting can now scarcely be visualised. There is no boasting in this. We are quite convinced that this school was needed, and that throughout its development the hand of Providence has been at work. The early private venture was not allowed to disintegrate, although at one stage faith and sacrifice was needed to save the school from dying. But it was willed that we should survive, and that our faith should be justified. So we see our young life now divided into three parts. There was the period of foundation, under the right Headmaster; a humble unambitious period m which stress was unostentatiously laid on those things which matter: tome, character, humility, tremendous loyalty from those who loved their school. When these foundations were well and truly laid, there followed the second stage, again under the right Headmaster: one of bricks and mortar, a physical develop ment, one which saw us grow and grow, in numbers and influence, until we could regard ourselves as a school which was making a real impact upon the wider community.

  • General Information Weekly Scripture
    MORE TAL K │ EDITIO N 12 │ 26 APRIL 2019 MORE TALK │ EDITION 1 2 │ 26 APRIL 20 19 WEEKLY SCRIPTURE SWEPT AWAY I t ’ s the early hours of Easter Monday morning (01:36 to be precise) and I am awakened from my much - needed beauty sleep by an unusual sound! Has the dog jumped into the pool? Alarmed by this confusing thought I groggily sprint all of four meters, tear back th e curtains and stare at the body of still water. No dog. But…the sound continues. It is an unusual sound to be sure. Ears now awake, I make my w ay t o the opposite window and stare out. There in the dark, broom in hand is my dear wife! She’s ankle deep in wat er chasing the rain’s downpour towards the now unblocked drain. Satisfied, I returned to bed …ha, ha – just kidding. Whilst supporting my wife’s endeavours (at that very hour) I got to thinking how Noah’s generation must have felt struggling to hold bac k the unstoppable rising waters of God’s radical purging. No number of brooms would succeed as the sovereign God metered out Hi s e nd t o an evil world. Social media pinged relentlessly regarding this weekend’s devastation; highlighting again and again all t hat was being swept away. Despite mankind’s natural tendencies God is merciful, and He makes a promise when the waters receded that man and anima l w o uld never endure a flood of that magnitude again. With the recent reminder of our heavy rainfalls, may we a l l hu mb ly acknowledge and recognise His divinity and authority over all.

  • Transport Guidelines to Parents
    09 February 2021 Dear Parents TRAVEL AT MICHAELHOUSE Departure Guidelines In selecting Michaelhouse as your son’s school, parents not living in the vicinity of the school accept the fact that travel is necessary and will mean that some boys get home just a few hours later than others. I write to you in this regard as requests for early departures put the Housemaster in a difficult position and, while we do not want to be unreasonable, equally we need to be proactive in guarding the time needed for all the facets of a Michaelhouse education. We therefore appeal to parents to be thoughtful and considered around departure times. If leaving early is a necessity from a logistical perspective, the school will do what it can to accommodate this. Requests out of convenience cannot, however, in most cases, be accommodated. Please direct all requests for early departure to your son’s Housemaster. Concessions will be considered under the following circumstances: • Connecting flights for international travel require a boy to depart early • Flights to the airport closest to a boy’s home are extremely limited and returning home would not be viable if the school was not prepared to accommodate this. • Parents are present at a school-sanctioned function and it would not be logical or feasible to make two time-consuming trips to pick up their son. The pre-requisites for this concession would be that it does not compromise a boy’s other school commitments and the departure time is after the school sanctioned event. Boys cannot get lifts home with other boy’s parents in these instances.
