Mr Neil Strydom (OG: Class of 2012), Mr Voughan Casling (OG: Class of 2010) and Ms Natasha Veltman - join us as ‘Learnership Students’ in 2016, together with ‘interns’ Mr Zaine Marx (OG: Class of 2011) and Mr Matthew Reflections from the Rector’s Desk 2016-02-26 Page 3 Oosthuizen (OG: Class of 2011) who have joined the staff of Meriway as Junior Housemasters. Mr Ian Clifford (OG: Class of 2003) has returned to his Old School to join our Physical Sciences Department. Mr Clifford has a BSc with Chemistry and Physics as majors – he then went on to Cum his Honours in Chemistry. He has also completed his PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate of Education). He was awarded the James Moir medal for top Chemistry graduate at UNISA in 2011. He has taught at both Alexander Road and Wynberg Boys’ High and comes to us highly recommended. Mr Brian Jacobs has also re-joined our team of educators. He is an Old Jeppe Boy. He studied at Wits and has a BA Hons and BEd (English and History). He commenced his teaching in Johannesburg before joining Grey in 2008. Mr Jacobs spent a few years at Pearson sharpening his skills, before expressing interest in returning to The Grey. He has joined our English Department. We know the quality of this man and welcome him warmly and sincerely. Another familiar face to many of us is that of Mrs Lynette Swart – she has a BA, majoring in Afrikaans, Isi Xhosa and HMS - a highly experienced educator who will be serving the Afrikaans Department. She is an Old Framesby girl, Two Oceans and Comrades runner and achieved Colours for EP Biathlon. She is also a Senior Marker of Matric Afrikaans. Mrs Swart taught with us from 2006 to 2009 before returning to her old school, Framesby, for a teaching stint – we are naturally very pleased that she applied to return to us. For the first time, we have appointed a full-time registered Counselling Psychologist and we recently welcomed Mr Hendrik Uys into this position. He is an old Pearsonite who studied his BPsych, Honours and PGCE at the NMMU before going on to complete his Masters in Counselling Psychology. He has been a practising, full-time counsellor with ‘Klopper and Uys’ psychologists. We know that this gentleman is going to be a great asset to the staff and young men of The Grey. Mr Allan Miles, Old Selbornian, studied at Rhodes where he obtained a B Soc Science degree. He then obtained his PGCE through UNISA. He has been involved in teaching for 13 years – EMS, Business Studies and Accounting – and has served as a teacher at Selborne, St Andrew’s and, more recently, at Graeme – also as the Senior Housemaster of their boarding establishment. Teaching, like coaching, is a passion of his. He has an impressive Rugby background and will be working closely with our coaching staff while heading up Rugby at The Grey. We also welcome Mr Steyn van Eeden – identical twin to Mr Beän van Eeden who is currently on our staff. He was schooled at ‘Die Brandwag’ and qualified with a BEd (Hons) from the NMMU. He enjoyed a Prac Year with us in 2012, before Reflections from the Rector’s Desk Page 4 2016-02-26 accepting a post at Otto. His subjects are: Business Studies, Maths and Technology. We are delighted to welcome Mrs Seema Naidoo who has joined our team in the Finance Department. Mrs Michele Clarke recently joined our ‘team’ in the School Shop and commenced her duties on Monday 15 February. Mrs Wendy Beaufort is now also ‘on board’ in a full time capacity – she will be heading up our marketing division. Mrs Beaufort worked in corporate marketing for 22 years. She is a former Benson & Hedges Area Sales Manager in the good old days of B&H Cricket – this before tobacco legislation – and a former National Marketing Manager for Spec-Savers South Africa, where she oversaw the marketing for 200 stores nationally. She was involved in the first 3 Iron-Man events with the Naming Rights Sponsor and for the last 10 years, she has been the owner of the ‘Kids Connection’ concept which saw her win the Businesswoman of the Year Award in 2010 - this was featured on Top Billing. In 2011 she was nominated for the Shoprite/Checkers SABC 2 Woman of the Year as well as receiving a nomination in 2012 for the Africa SMME award which is presented to the most successful SMME on the African Continent. Mrs Beaufort has already been involved in a number of projects at The Grey. ACADEMIC SUPPORT We are pleased to note that the Academic Support classes, which incorporate, Accounting, Afrikaans, English, Mathematics, Physical Sciences and CAT/IT, continue to be of great benefit to our Grey men. In the elective (“choice”) subjects, Academic Support is available to the senior boys by appointment only. In the Languages, we have tried to make support available to all grades. We have a staff team of at least eight teachers, who patiently work with their charges over four afternoons per week every week. In Mathematics, we have weekly support classes for our ‘accelerated programme’ Grade 9s and Grade 10s, for our weakest Grade 9s and Grade 8s and for the Grade 12s. Other support is available by appointment only. Our biggest challenge continues to be to find times that suit the majority of boys most of the time, and not to clash with other support classes for that grade. Obviously, this is still a work in progress and we continue to learn as we go along. We are unable to cater to every individual’s sporting and cultural commitments, but we have tried to be as accommodating as possible. There is no charge for this service. Reflections from the Rector’s Desk 2016-02-26 Page 5 Our target groups are the following: 1. Boys who are genuinely weak in the subject and have to pass the subject. We do NOT cater for those boys with disciplinary problems. 2. Boys who have missed school due to illness or sports tours. These pupils will not necessarily attend every week, but will attend fairly regularly through their busy sports season. 3. Those who have specific areas of weakness within the subject that need to be remediated, or who are just underperforming. These boys will also come to support classes for a specified time period or for specific problems.

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.

    Term 2 #14 24 May 2019 NewsletterCollege St Andrew’s College To the Andrean Community One of the lesser known ‘beautiful spaces’ at College is a large frangipani tree that grows alongside the north eastern buttress of the Chapel. It is a most beautiful tree, basking in the morning sun, protected by the strong Chapel walls - that “What is a farm but a mute when the cold winds blow it is able to stand firm, not in its own strength, but in gospel?”. the shelter that the Chapel provides. - Ralph Waldo Emerson It is old enough that its roots are deeply planted, that when rains are generous it is able to drink deeply, but in dry times the deep water will sustain it. On the surface it always faces the new morning sun with optimism. Below the surface its roots prepare for the reality that with good days come bad, and it knows to always enjoy the former but to do so in the knowledge that those days of growth will prepare it for the long days of challenge. Inherent in understanding that is the knowledge that, as inevitable as the tough times are, they are transient, for we are made to grow and flourish. Nec Aspera Terrent St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent WEEK AT A GLANCE The flowers of a frangipani have a beautiful ‘tropical island’ simplicity to them. No fancy stigmas and stamens here, just a simple, well textured flower that beams Friday 24 May: its beauty and somehow understands its most exquisite aroma. Here is a deep 10h00 - Golf vs Selborne (A) understanding of self-worth, not the over-compensating ostentatious brash 10h30 - Hockey vs Selborne (A) confidence that is born of low self-esteem.

  • St Andrew's College, Grahamstown
    Newsletter Term 1 #11 31 March 2017 St Andrew’s COLLEGE Nec Aspera Terrent The College debaters leave for St Andrew’s in Dublin on Sunday. We wish them well as they participate in the World Model United Nations debates To the Andrean Community I will never forget my first rugby match in my first year of high school. It was a game we thought we were well prepared for, and we were certainly confident as we chattered along in the bus to the game. We had all ‘played a bit’ in our respective prep schools and as we ran onto the field of Highlands North Boys’ High School in Johannesburg on a frosty early Saturday morning, we were, at that moment, completely oblivious to the fact that the ‘big fish from a small pond’ were about to meet some proper (carnivorous, it seemed) big, big fish. Three minutes into the game (in an era that preceded any consideration of health-and-safety) I was moved from flank to replace our hooker who had been carried off the field injured, and from then on my memory is a sketchy recollection of studs, hard ground, and pain - lots of pain in all parts of my body. Some incidentally obtained, some deliberately inflicted, deep in the engine room of our oft backward moving scrum. I learned a life-long lesson about excellence as I lay face down on that hard pitch oozing blood from my nose and trying not to cry. True excellence is not about being the best of a bad bunch, or being good in a context.

  • Reflections from the Rector's Desk
    Reflections from the Rector’s Desk Dear Parents, Old Greys and Friends of The Grey We are experiencing an ‘action-packed’ start to 2015! Best wishes to all members of The Grey Family for a successful, happy and healthy year. May all we do continue to be in the best interests of The Grey and those we serve. This is also our School Governing Body election year – and we will need to find some additional, suitable candidates amongst our Parent Body to fill a number of vacancies. Many thanks to those who have already expressed an interest and who have made themselves available. MR DIETER PAKENDORF – RECTOR : 1977 – 1992 Our esteemed former Rector passed away on Thursday 12 February. His funeral was held on Wednesday 18 February in the Lutheran Church, Cape Town City centre. Dieter’s incredible support and love for his school continued long after his retirement – and this with his good wife, Maureen, as ever, at his side. And so it is hugely fitting that his ashes be interred in the wall of the Memorial Quad alongside former Rectors of The Grey – this to be done in May, before our Friday Reunion Assembly, and in the presence of the School, members of the Family and all assembled Old Greys and Friends. The numerous tributes which have poured in from Old Greys all over the world bear ample testimony to the fact that he made a massive impact on a generation of Grey boys and that his masterful hand guided many to success. MATRIC RESULTS 2014 We were generally very happy with the academic performance of last year’s Matrics.

    Newsletter Term 1 # 3 2 February 2018 St Andrew’s COLLEGE Nec Aspera Terrent To the Andrean Community "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing". Stephen Hawking There is no more quintessentially African a sound, and no more beautiful a bird to watch in full flight than the African Fish Eagle. How extraordinary that such majesty and beauty can combine with such power and strength to create such a highly skilled hunter. And how even more extraordinary that this mass of 3kg can use its 2m wingspan to propel it up into the swirling thermals, hold position, and drop like a stone at just the right moment, that a hapless fish can change from enjoying a languid swim to being eagle supper in a second. St Andrew’s College Nec Aspera Terrent 2 February 2018 And how extraordinary again that the very laws of gravity that are designed to draw that mass of eagle to the ground, give it the downward acceleration that allows it to swoop, dive, and soar. A foolish eagle would denounce gravity, complaining that for a creature that is designed to fly the skies, gravity is restrictive and limiting. It is a clever eagle indeed that is able to appreciate that it is the limitations of gravity that give it its capacity to flourish. And so it is in a school. For although no-one really claims to enjoy rules, discipline, and structure, only a fool can not see that it is those limitations that give our boys the true freedom to flourish.

  • National Report on Performance of Individual Schools in 2000 Senior
    National Report on the Performance of IndividualSchools in the 2000 Senior Certificate Examinations Foreword At the beginning of last year I released the National Report on the Performance of Individual Schools in the 1999 Senior Certificate Examination. This was the first time that such as report had ever been released to the public in South Africa. My purpose in doing so was to provide the public with an overview of the performance of individual schools in the Senior Certificate examination. I also stated then that the focus in 2000 would be on the underperforming schools and “…to pull these schools out of this abysmal situation”. A 5% increase in the pass rate was targeted for 2000. Today I am particularly proud to release the National Report on the Performance of Individual Schools in the 2000 Senior Certificate Examination. We have not only improved the overall pass rate by 9%, but we have broken the cycle of underperformance in many schools. The number of schools that obtained a pass rate between 0% and 20% has decreased from 940 in 1999 to 499 in 2000. Once again I would like to congratulate those students who have succeeded as well as their teachers and principals who worked very hard to provide support and a good quality education to our learners, sometimes in very difficult circumstances. I also want to extend my gratitude to the parents and provincial and national departmental officials for their support and encouragement to ensure the success of the Senior Certificate examination. The challenge for 2001 will be to consolidate our gains and to improve even further.
